These were YOUR words. I quoted YOUR words, word for word.

Yes, and again (what, the fifth time now?) I acknowledge MY words.

The trouble is, you then add your own comnpletely-wrong constructions to my
words and call them mine.
You embellish my opinions with absurd statements of your own.

You do this so often you probably don't even realise it anymore.

called yourself A.Gent and still.cranky. LOL.

There.
There's an easily accessible lie.

Despite your repeated attempts to embed this Goldsborough Factoid into the
common lore, I never called myself "still.cranky".

FYI, I munged my email address by naming it:

A pretty easy-to-understand statement of opinion.

Yet you continue, in every second post (or so) to perpetuate YOUR
construction that I was somehow still cranky at everything. You always
conveniently neglect to mention the " when you delightedly quote
the "still.cranky"

Do you understand why people don't like to broadcast their genuine email
addresses, Reid?
Do you know what a spam-bot is, Reid?
Can you read, Reid?

Let me try to be as clear as I can. I want absolutely nothing to do
with you. I abhor how you act, what you do, your stupid flame attacks
and your idiotic denials. I have zero respect for what you say, for
your character and your integrity. You don't collect what I collect,
and I consider your "thoughts" about common numismatic topics such as
negotiating beyond foolish. So ... ignore me! OK? I will be very, very
happy to ignore you. We'll have a deal then. If you do this little
thing, this one little thing, if you have the fortitude to be decent
about this, to be "A.Gent," this newsgroup, and in a tiny but
appreciable way this world, will be a more peaceful place.


Sure.
My opinion exactly, anyway.

Just stop posting bile-filled, sanctimonious, self-aggrandising jibes at
others and I'll be happy - nay, *delighted* - to ignore you.

Yes Ted, and your own personal powers of observation have been demonstrated
quite effectively in the last week. You really are digging yourself in
deeper with each post.

Friendly advice:
You really should quit now - at least for a while.
Take a break, tend the dahlias.
Do yourself a favour.

There you go. I remember, long ago, some alleged comment from Reid that I
couldn't see as bad until it was creatively explained. And then it looked
like a stretch. And it's been "current news" for some ever since. But this
isn't the only time Alan has latched on to some ancient event and carried it
with him for years. It seems to be one of his habits. Er ... "style"? If
you can call it that.

There are a few others here who love to play victim. I personally don't
have time for any of them.

What's sad is that he is utterly incapable of understanding anything
of what you wrote in your eloquent post. Too bad.

Sadder still is the fact that Reid's only support comes from perhaps
the two dumbest people ever to inhabit this newsgroup.

Alan brings up his loss, as he did just now, as a weapon, to try to
direct antipathy toward me and sympathy toward him. Talking about
unhinged. As I've said before, nobody should have experienced what he
did. It's tragic. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, not him, not anyone,
and I also am truly sorry it happened. But our past explains us. It
explains him. When he revealed this, everything made sense, his gross
overreactions, his irrational rage, his barrages of relentless lying
accusations.

The following were YOUR words about negotiating in numismatics. You
use the word "haggling" to mean "negotiating," putting the worst spin
on this practice, central to how coins are bought and sold among
dealers and to a lesser though still substantial extent with
collectors as well.

"I consider haggling over the price as akin to begging for spare
change at the railway station. It is undignified and unpleasant. It
yields "victories" to the most obnoxious and insulting buyers....

"It seems to me that most folk prefer it that buying should be a
-game-, where the rudest, most aggressive, and most persistently
obnoxious loudmouth should get the best deal. People who find it
"fun" would likely have found shoplifting "fun", in their youth. The
shopkeeper is the "enemy", and can afford it anyway....

"Haggling is a process of begging, whining, demanding, standing-over,
bullying, offering, persisting and otherwise making so much of a
nuisance of oneself that the seller relents and lowers the price....

"Some folk like to haggle because they see sport in driving the price
down, and reducing the seller's margin. The more they diddle the
seller, the better it is and the cleverer thay are. I don't see the
joy in depriving the seller of his profit. Its akin to shoplifting.
Dealers aren't in the business for their health. They sell to pay the
bills. To put food on the table. To pay for the kids' education. To
pay the mortgage. The fact that their commodity is *our* discretionary
pastime is irrelevant. For them it is the way they survive. Do we
begrudge the dealer a *fair* profit? Should we be cocky and proud and
boastful when, in the course of pursuing our hobby, we reduce a man's
income? Bah! That's Goldsborough morality."

Are you going to deny you said this? Are you going to deny that by
equating negotiating with begging and stealing and bullying and
driving down a seller's profit (which he needs "to put food on the
table" and "pay for the kids' education"!!!) and all the rest you're
calling those who like it ethically depraved? Are you going to deny
that you're a sanctimonious hypocrite?

That's not calling yourself still.cranky??? YOU chose this for
yourself. Nobody else did. You could have chosen any email
construction. You CHOSE still.cranky. You deny everything, inanely,
take responsibility for nothing, cowardly, and level your idiotic
flame attacks like some suicide bomber. Not me, you say. I never said
that. Not me, you say. You're twisting what I do. I'm A.Gent. LOL.
What a laughable, pitiable joke. Fight on, big man. I offer peace, and
you just fight your stupid fights.
