<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1442180, member: 24754"]Wow, I don’t even know where to begin… For the sake of not high jacking this thread any more, I am just going to keep this short. I will say, you are someone I would never want do business with; neither in numismatics or other areas. Based purely on the fact that you think you can characterize me based on this little bit of information, and then try to take advantage of the opportunity to publicly scrutinize me. Do you feel propped up there Mr. Holier than Thou? Why don't you come down off your high horse and join the rest of us that are flawed enough to realize that moral characterization is not black and white in every situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was donating my time to clean out that storage area because it was needed as office space for a new faculty member. There were 2 students there including myself, 1 staff member, and 2 faculty. The faculty member that originally purchased the stereoscopes was actually there, he said that they were no longer needed because they had since purchased some petroscopes. They all knew that I was taking the thing, we were all taking things that we felt could be of some use personally or within the department. We were sending the stuff to surplus, which essentially means that we were throwing it away. Did I feel like I was getting something for nothing? No, I had paid thousands in tuition, I had been awarded $150K in research grants (university gets 45%), and I was donating my time to clean the stinking room!</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you did not have all of the information before jumping to your conclusion. But, how could I have known that I would be in danger of having my character attacked for failing to provide all of the information? I'm not dishonest, I am certainly not a thief, and I do not appreciate the accusation. Maybe you should try to not be so judgmental.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
