American Numismatic Association

Let's Talk About This. Please...

I have recently learned that a member of our community has been suspended for a month from participation with us.�
It seems that the community is owed an explanation for the action, if not for the sake of transparency, then for the edification of the community, lest we make the same mistake. N'est pas?
Then we can go about our hobby here with some mutual trust and respect as friends.

How terrible and shameful was it to ban someone? How can everyone else avoid the same fate? Please publish what happened and the rules that were broken.

Thanks for all your kind words. I received many while I was gone. You truly are friends. You kept my spirits up. I knew the light at the end of the tunnel was not an oncoming train. You all I am speaking to most of the community you were very kind to me. I'm back. I read your blogs if I missed one let me know it was hard to find some. My eyes are bad! Thanks again. Mike

Mike is a dedicated numismatist. I trust that whatever he has done, it was with the right intentions.

Now we have a life member leaving us.

It's representative of the worst of social media. When did cancel culture take root here?

This is very troubling. Yes, let us try to have an honest conversation about this, lest we kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

It does cause concern when such an act of censorship occurs when plagiarism occurs here with frequency

I wish the ANA STAFF would explain what has happened and why... Whats to keep the rest of us from committing the same violation as supposedly the #1 contributor has done??? This is all very wrong...
