<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3194904, member: 92083&quot;]I totally get the bickering with two people who feel they are each right. It gets bizarre when one is disputing a provable fact rather than an opinion (for example, a moderator tried to tell me a few days ago that there is no difference between a blank and a planchet. Seriously...he did). It is not the bickering that bothers me.</p><p><br /></p><p>What does bother me are longtime members who are sarcastic jerks to new members for not understanding how things work on this site, or who don&#039;t know the hobby as well as we do. There is no need to attack new people or imply they are stupid because they don&#039;t know a true mint error from PMD, they didn&#039;t post a photo, or don&#039;t understand proofs from business strikes. People who are condescending, arrogant, and snobby about their expertise are far more annoying than a new member asking what we might think is a stupid question.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing I hate is when people ask a question that they can easily check for themselves (e.g. &quot;what years did they produce &quot;S&quot; mint Peace dollars?&quot;). But rather than tell them off, I ignore them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you know me by now. I ask questions on here if I find conflicting info or I need to lean on the experience of others who specialize in certain coins. I have been corrected a few times and am thankful for it. But some on here love to purposely instigate and enjoy being jerky to others, quick to pounce on another&#039;s mistakes, and when you call them out on it, get bent out of shape. (Speaking of which, anyone hear from cpm9ball lately?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
