<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1754845, member: 36248"]In my mind, there is an undefined "inner circle" which is comprised of people who post here often, have posted for 1 year+, are very knowledgeable, are well spoken, are opinionated, and speak/post with authority. Maybe you don't even know you're part of this special group, but in my mind Lehigh96, gbroke and ~10 others are certainly members. I don't think there is any collusion amongst the "inner circle", but certainly in some cases opinions align regarding a topic like AT/NT. I respect this group, but it doesn't mean I always agree with every post. What it DOES mean is that I place more value /weight on your posts vs other random posters. Someone being cynical might call this group "coin snobs", but to me they've earned the right to be coin snobs, so maybe you guys ought to wear it with a badge of honor, and not get so bent out of shape at every punk trying to make a name for himself calling you out? Regarding being called arrogant/ thinking you are always correct, I'm not sure people should post if they don't actually believe what they are saying is correct. Doesn't every member think their own opinions are 100% correct at that moment?</p><p> </p><p>I do think some of this back and forth is beneath the inner circle, it's a little silly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
