<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 387228, member: 12965&quot;]I see young peeps (remember Stainless is a young perp) who will blow their money at the arcade and have nothing but a good time to show for it. But Stainless has a good time searching Ebay for that special coin to buy and while he&#039;s as broke as the ones that blow it at the arcade, he has something tangible to show for it.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;d much rather see Stainless blow his money on coins than waste it and have nothing to show for it. In my opinion, he did not waste his money with his most recent purchase! Too many of you (CT members) are too serious about coin collecting and don&#039;t remember the fun it&#039;s suppose to be and quite often when a young collector posts a great coin (based on their collection) you rip them up and down the gutter because it doesn&#039;t fit your requirements. That isn&#039;t right! You have to take into account who the other person is, then adjust your thinking to that level. For example, I would speak to Spock differently than I would Stainless and I know I can even have a little fun with Spock without hurting his feelings but a young collector is different.&nbsp; :secret:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please know who you are talking to when posting a reply on here and if you don&#039;t, then talk to them as if they are 13 and a newbie to collecting, until you know better.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: It also works the other way around. I&#039;ve had discussions on here with peeps I didn&#039;t know and while I was having the discussion, I didn&#039;t take into account they were &quot;professional&quot; collectors because I didn&#039;t know who they were. Oops! I learned something from it and hopefully I won&#039;t commit the same error again.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
