<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 3469263, member: 37839&quot;]Hey, you are personalizing something that is common practice here.&nbsp; Even experienced collectors get their butt handed to them, sometimes. Heck, if I had a dollar every time someone ripped me for my opinions, I would own twice as many coins as I do now.&nbsp; This can be a brutally honest place.&nbsp; If one posts something that other members feel is dead wrong, misguided, stupid, or all of the above, expect criticism.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, it is gentle criticism, and sometimes it is of the “you jerk” variety.&nbsp; Folks around here are not personalizing things; they are being brutally honest.&nbsp; Sometimes, there are some ill feelings generated, but that is generally as a result of defensiveness.&nbsp; Hang around, take your lumps when you deserve it, and share in the wealth of information.&nbsp; I have been collecting for over 40 years, and have learned a lot from a great bunch of collectors.&nbsp; We all get our posteriors kicked sometimes—why not accept it, and be willing to do the “oh crap, I was wrong” thing that we all do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
