<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 766494, member: 15309"]He is no more reckless in his attempts to educate others than many of the members on these forums. You have guys who spout Weimar White's lunacy that toning is tantamount to damage. A guy on BNB's 3-legged Buffalo thread just called the 3-legged Buffalo the second biggest scam in coin collecting! Countless members think gold doesn't tone etc. The fact is that every member of this forum is responsible for determining who is knowledgeable and who is not. With the attention that BNB's posts attract, I don't see how anyone could brought down by his actions. The term BNB Police has entered my mind a few times.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that he is shooting blindfolded and that he needs education and emotional control. But consider this. When you go to a bar, there are basically two types of guys and each shares a common goal. I call these guys the 12-gauge and sniper. The 12 gauge is the guy who starts at one end of the bar and talks to every chick until he scores. It ain't pretty, and sometimes neither is she, but it is very effective. The sniper is the guy who studies every chick in the bar, speaks to only one, and either picks up the hottie or goes home alone. Now think about which group of guys is more successful with regards to the goal and which group BNB falls in.</p><p><br /></p><p>BNB is not afraid to try and fail. I have come to believe that he has accepted that as a way of learning. Everyone is so determined to prevent him from learning the hard way they have ignored the fact that he has made it very clear, that is precisely the way he learns. I have faith that he will learn as long as we let him. Now be a powerseller BNB, be determined, and don't accept failure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
