<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2012822, member: 112&quot;]Walk on eggshells ? Me, really ? Now if there was ever something that could be considered ridiculous, it would be me walking on eggshells <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; You&#039;ve been an active member of this forum for a little over a year, way more than enough time for anybody to figure out the kind of person I am.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know what good manners are and do you use them ? That&#039;s really the question. You are a dealer, a stranger walks up to you looks at a coin in your case that you have marked as 65. He looks at you and says - Do you really think this is a 65 ? It looks more like a 63 to me ?</p><p><br /></p><p>What is your first reaction inside, what do you feel ? Now maybe I&#039;m wrong but I think most folks are going to feel insulted. Here&#039;s this guy that you don&#039;t know from Adam, and he&#039;s questioning your grade on a coin. He&#039;s not only questioning your ability to grade the coin correctly, he&#039;s questioning your integrity by marking it as being graded as such. Would you not feel insulted if somebody did that to you ? I sure would.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a difference between asking an ordinary question about a coin such as - do you know what variety this coin is, or do you know the mintage of this coin ? And questioning, judging, a persons ability to grade a coin and his integrity by marking it as such. The one thing you can do, the other you should not.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s just good manners. That defines who and what you are.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for the comment about me living in the &quot;...the land of the free and the home of the brave&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; - where exactly is it that you live ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh wait, I couldn&#039;t have said that, I walk on eggshells <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
