Title: What happened to Bear
Post by: coinsarefun on September 06, 2010, 12:23:06 AM
Has he gone into hibernation ;)
Has he run out of jelly doughnuts and doesn't know what to do?


Where or where are you old Bear :LOL;

Stefanie,
  There's a lot of members who have not been on here for a very long time.

They don't know what they are missing.

Aidan.

That's what I was thinking.  Wonder what happened to everyone?

It's hard toget a new site going because it's hard for people to find an interesting topic in which to engage. 

I try to keep up here but have been doing a poor job of it since the reboot.  I'll have to try harder.






Glad to hear that you will start posting here again. I look for informative post cladking Happy(*)

Bear has been banned by don for removing his threads. Nothing in the threads was other then

Numismatic related. No one was insulted or treated in any way other then politely. PCGS  was

treated in a most positive manner. Items discussed were such as how to grade, criteria for my new

Estate collection,how to identify the three types of FH Liberty Standing Quarters, the evolution of a coin collector.

Being ill, I have good days and bad days. On the good days I try to offer my experiences and what ever knowledge I

have to the Forum members. Well it seems a minority of members resented the number of my threads which may

have totaled 7 or 8 threads. I received what I considered a nasty PM, from someone who I had always considered a

friend having shared 88 PMs with over the years.. Instead of talking to me as a friend, I was addressed in a manner

 of a traffic cop giving out a traffic ticket. In anger,

I deleted my threads and shortly after was banned. It feels rather strange being on the outside after almost 20 years as

 a Forum Member.All I tried to do was share my knowledge with the new generation of collectors. Thus now you know the

full story of my banning.

Bear, I asked that question a long time back when you seemed to have disappeared from here :)

As to a reply of what happened to you........Well....my feeling were shared on this post, not just you but others and CU in general

I can't believe the member who hassled you is still there, Bear. He's one of the few I truly dislike on the forum, and his sigline is in violation of the rules. As far as I know you're not the first he has had banned. Who died and made him Don Willis?

Who is this member that pm'd you?

KEETS!

Post by: coinsarefun on May 23, 2011, 12:22:04 AM
KEETS!




At first when I read that I said to myself......no way!
But as I think about it I am not surprised, he can turn on you quicker
than anyone or thing I know.

Some of posts and personal pm's make me so mad I want to write him back
and give him a piece of my mind.

And I would not see him as a friend rather someone to beware of and cover you
Rear end!

Well after 88 PMs, our relationship seemed always to be cordial. I always like to give people

the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong. I guess I erred on this person, as he appears to

 have harbored deep feelings of anger against me. It is rather sad really. It is not always what one says

rather it is the way something is said that makes all the difference in the world. I tend to trust people and I

guess that I paid the price.

Honestly in times like this is when you find out who are truly your friends.
Meets and I have had hundreds of pm's half in which I did not respond as they were condesending
And argumentative. Granted he may have stregths in certain coins but he reminds me
Of those little dogs that bite your ankles all the time!

Yeah, I don't know why the atmosphere has become toxic over there.  You can't seem to have a discussion without someone criticizing you or just being a creep.  It's a shame, as there are a few nice guys there who actually want to help.

Whether I am allowed to return or not, I am a believer in Karma exacting justice on those people

who have evil intentions in their hearts. I will not have to raise a protest as their own meaness will

eventually do them in.
