[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 2651768, member: 34720"]In my humble opinion, I rather appreciate open discussions about possible non-genuine coins. I have learned so much from observing these types of conversations. I think it really just boils down to how it's approached. Some people unfortunately don't handle the threads tactfully. They may be correct in their accusation of a fake coin, and even provide evidence to back them up, but if done in a harsh or overbearing way, it leaves everyone with a bad taste in their mouth. Some might say "grow some thick skin" or even "suck it up snowflake", but I just don't see any reason to be mean to one another. How hard is it to have a little empathy for the person with the coin.
