And compared to you, I have had zero conflicts with anyone on these boards.

I didn't mean to imply that you should not expose problems or hide for fear of being banned. You obviously know your stuff when it comes to rings, and I applaud your efforts to share that knowledge with collectors and auction houses alike. It just seems to me that a bit more tact would help the auction corrections to be implemented more willingly. You know, the whole "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" approach.
And you're right, I had forgotten that the banning was by Nate Sanders. As you say, not as big a deal as I was (incorrectly) remembering.

I stand by those facts and shame on Hunt for not budging on this matter.

I wasn't trying to call you out on a mistake in identifying the ring type. You obviously know more about the subject than I ever will. My comments were meant more to give another's perspective on your approach, which I thought would be more helpful in the long run rather than a simple "you're right, he's wrong" or attaboy slap on the back. Sorry if they weren't taken as the constructive criticism they were intended to be.
