[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7894756, member: 118780"]Everyone else, I have an idea. I'm pretty sure [USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER] has my on ignore, and she also probably did the same to [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] too. This person is a poison to our group. It's great to discuss coins with level headed people and the overwhelming majority of stuff we discuss is 0% controversial. But she doesn't make this a welcoming place. I'm sick of this bantering on slabs. I honestly don't know if a raw coin did her some injustice in the past or if she's related to someone who works at Heritage, but this is ridiculous. Every post just turns into some drama. Given that it appears the moderators won't boot her, I have a better idea. Whenever she posts something else - even if it [I]starts[/I] as innocuous, we should just fill the chat with random other things. Don't even bother bashing her, since then we'll just see more ridiculous posts. Instead, make it a [I]positive[/I] thread. For instance, with this post we can just each respond "here's my Trajan" and "here's my Trajan" and just ignore her original question. For those who aren't aware of the tactic, they'll just see a bunch of coins and most will just add theirs. The few who do fall into her trap will soon find their reply buried under a bunch of "here's my coin" posts. Eventually she should just give up and leave us alone. I'll start.
