[QUOTE="frankjg, post: 3333202, member: 17567"]Doug, I agree with you completely about keeping threads open for the content and I typically have zero issue with new members posting in old threads that are related to a coin they may have come across. That makes complete sense and there is no reason to be a stickler about that. However, in this instance, this is the first and only post of the poster in question: If this person had a similar coin, they could have very easily posted a picture of it, in this thread, and asked if for opinions. Instead, they immediately criticized everyone who responded to the original poster and then hurled a series of insults at the members. No mention of a similar coin, no new perspective or insight into the original coin, nothing. Just a series of insults as their very first post. In this specific case, I fail to see how the actions of this poster are defensible by you or anyone else on this board and I also fail to see how this wasn't some obvious pre-meditated action to rile up board members. Honestly, it could have even been the original poster who still had hard feelings and thinks they have something of great value. If in fact this person did do a search, and came to this page through google and learned something about a coin they may or may not have, then why was it necessary to make that their first post? Again, indefensible no matter how or why that person arrived here. Maybe [USER=101019]@yowzers[/USER] can help clear this up by letting us know if they have a similar coin and if so, would they be so kind as to show us or ask us a specific question about it?[/QUOTE]
