<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 2012466, member: 58810&quot;]I&#039;m actually not taking a shot here I have never actually bothered to leave feedback so I&#039;m not familiar with the system. Question- does the guy have to respond to you for you to change your feedback?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When you have opinions some people will misinterpret and others will just take offense. If you want to speak your mind there are many people who equate not agreeing with taking offense. For example there are many versions of both politics and religion. Remember this is just one example but a good one. Simply agreeing with any one religion or version of politics is bound to offend at least 20% of people. There are many people in this world who feel that there is no agreeing to disagree. Either you think their way or you are a four letter word of your choice. Some will even cut your head off and post it on the internet when you disagree with their god. Try speaking of politics in china or North Korea. My point is there is a minority of people but a vocal minority who will act this way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Example given. </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/are-coin-dealers-irrelevant.246287/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/are-coin-dealers-irrelevant.246287/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/are-coin-dealers-irrelevant.246287/</a></p><p>All the op is opening for discussion is the concept that the internet is now allowing collectors to sell directly to each other making dealers obsolete. That is it but you will see he becomes accused of being anti coin dealer. His op has nothing about liking or disliking dealers just about the relevance of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I talk about some, a minority of coin dealers acting like children and others who support this. Now I&#039;m anti coin dealer. I have strong opinions about the minority, and i have not seen many good deals at coin shows. Others have posted their finds so I do know they are out there but my personal experience (and some others as well) is that slabbed coins at shows are in general priced over market value (not over grey, over the over grey). And I&#039;m just better at online purchasing then at shows. I did buy coin on eBay for a few years and sell to dealers at shows and actually had only a few negative encounters. But it is the culture of the acceptance of the comic book guy behavior that has me so fascinated. Even though there are a small percentage people support the comic book guy. So this is my interest and I talk at length about this. But now I hate all coin dealers, or so they say. Oh well. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m ok with that. I enjoy my little online debates and honestly don&#039;t have my little feelings hurt when some random people disagree, make assumptions or even insult me. I&#039;m not made of glass and it gives me something mindless to do to clear my head. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other issue is the more of your personal information that is available the more extraneous information the people will be able to use against you. I&#039;m not saying not to speak about your own life. Just realize the more info of yours that is out there the more ammo people have to use against you. Using the same internet name on your eBay, here and your coin website just gives people more info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
