[QUOTE="Insider, post: 3015931, member: 24314"]ldhair, posted: "I used to like the guy and bought most everything he wrote. Bought about a hundred great coins from him years ago. Met him several times over the years. [COLOR=#b30000]Don't ever care to meet him again[/COLOR]." An opinion is one thing. People who post an opinion and back it up to inform or educate all of us are not "stupid." IMO this type of comment: "[B][I][U][COLOR=#b30000]Don't ever care to meet him again[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B]" should not be posted! I've met, talked, and interacted in business with Mr. Bowers over the years. I can agree with [I][B]just about[/B][/I] everything (playing it safe ;)) posted about him in this thread. I can back up any of the good and bad comments about the man should I choose to post them. @Idhair's comment left me both cold and curious. IMO, only one sentence needs to be edited in this entire thread and it is quoted here in [COLOR=#b30000]red[/COLOR]. Hopefully in the future, if someone posts a derogatory statement about another numismatist, especially a well-known professional, they will have the "class" to back it up. :watching:[/QUOTE]
