<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2804089, member: 44210&quot;]I definitely agree that Steve was a positive and dynamic part of the ancients forum. I miss his presence already but would <i>really</i> miss him if it turns out he was permabanned. He&#039;s done nothing but support me and my coins, and the support he gives to many others here is very admirable as well. I remember one time when some random non-ancients poster out of nowhere and for no reason decided to negatively criticize me for buying a lower-grade coin. Steve immediately came to my defense publicly and he also PMed me to make sure I was feeling ok. He&#039;s also PMed me a few times in the past to wish me a good holiday or just to ask how I&#039;m doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to justify what he did, but am only giving my experiences and my opinions+feelings about him. While what he did was wrong (he made some strong posts against someone that wanted to turn an ancient coin into jewelry, right?) and what he said could have been said in a more forum-appropriate manner, no one is perfect and wouldn&#039;t be something I would hold against him (I tend not to make make any critical and permanent judgments about someone over one or two minor things, especially someone I&#039;ve known for a long time, unlike some tend to do on this forum).</p><p><br /></p><p>All this being said, Steve is not the only thing that brings me to this forum. So even if he is gone (whether temporarily or permanently), I still have other good reasons to continue participating in CT Ancients, possibly the most important being the coin-friends I still have here. I wish I could be more active on here so that I could have more opportunity to give back to this great ancients forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I almost feel bad for resurrecting this thread and as a result opening this whole can of worms, but looking at the last several pages I feel like all of this might have been something that needed to be discussed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
