I have 3 stamps that I want to ask about.

First, is the broken line above the I in Pfenig a known variety?



Second, are these missing letters interesting?

Ellie, your stamps are very nice examples of "varieties" Specialist collectors would look for these things, but they usually carry no additional value

I didn't ask anywhere about the value, I asked if the break in the line above the I is a consistent / known variety, and if the other two missing letters are interesting in any way. (ie. Also known varieties, explanation of how such a thing happened etc)

@Ellie88,

post your question about the known (?) variety on the German stamp here: https://goscf.com/t/72331&whichpage=25

You, also, might post your second stamp there. It, however, looks like the stamp is damaged. From the picture, I cannot see whether it is surface abrasion or a printing variety caused by foreign matter on the plate / cylinder during printing.

The Brasil stamp looks like either there is some adhesion from a stamp that once was stacked on top of the one you posted, or surface abrasion. But again, the picture is not clear enough.

On a separate subject, and even if you did not ask for advice, if you keep reacting in this manner:

You will find that also other members may no longer answer any question when this is a recurring tone. Consider it additional information and ignore it.

@NSK You get angry at me for stating a fact? I didn't ask about the value, that's just the way it is. And I would advise that you leave enforcing rules (which I did not break anyway) to the moderators instead of feeling the need to scold me yourself. From the way you have interacted with me in my posts, it is clear you have some kind of problem with me, I don't know what it is nor why, but I'd really prefer it if you just stopped responding to my posts altogether, since you clearly have some kind of issue with me no matter what I do or say.

Also, neither of the stamps are damaged.

Frankly, I wish there was a feature that allowed me to block you, you're very aggressive to me and constantly criticising me and I don't need or want it.

I am not getting angry at you. I, also, am not suggesting you are breaking rules.

I am pointing out to you that your replies to other people's post tend to be very aggressive, as soon as you conceive anything to be suggesting something you do not like. Your previous post is another example of this. You also read people the riot act a couple of times when they did not do what you suggested.

What I pointed out to you, is that the people who can help you pick up on that. Petert4522 may have provided information you did not ask for. He was helping you. There was no reason for the repeated aggresive reactions such as that you did not ask for that information.

Ellie - NSK is right. You have to put yourself in the place of someone who is reading your post. Just because Peter put the extra fact about value there was really no need to restate that you did not ask about value. And nothing was implied by Peter adding that extra value point.

What do I not like? I never assumed my stamps had value, the only time I've ever asked for value on this site was on behalf of a family member. I never asked for the value, the response I got to my question did not answer my actual questions, but rather told me what I already know (the stamps are worthless), I simply stated a fact, that I had not asked about the value, before repeating and clarifying my question.

You have, on behalf of the person I was responding to (not you), misinterpretted that as aggression, likely due to your hatred towards me, you find anything to complain about or criticise. None of what I have said on this site has been aggressive, outside of when I asked a question to a user and received a horrible email, which upset and angered me.

You seek conflict with me, through your constant critical analysis of every single thing I say. I have no malice towards anybody here. Nothing I say, ask or do is out of aggression. You tried to argue with and insult me in my art deco thread, I had to tell you to stop. You are the aggressive one.

I will be honest, I don't know what this means, but I assume it is yet more criticism from you that I did not ask for. Like I said, you seek conflict with me and I have no interest in it. You seem very intent on making me feel bad. I already feel bad. You're horrible and a great demotivator too.


Quote:
Your previous post is another example of this


The one in which I say I don't want you to interact with me because all you do is try to upset me, after you had done exactly that? Well, why haven't you stopped? You are the type of person who always feels the need to put others down, strangers you don't know, you constantly judge and criticise, never a nice thing to say. Like I already said, stop responding to me.

All you do is try to upset me, criticise me, judge me. You do not know me. You want to argue with me. You want to put me down. You are the kind of horrible person that puts people off from joining niche hobby groups.

Stop responding to me. I want nothing to do with you.

You don't know me, you know nothing about me, but you will take time out of your day to upset me for no reason. I have no idea what I did to deserve that kind of treatment from you, or if perhaps you treat all newcomers to this site the same way. You claim I take issue with people "not saying what I want", while you are quite literally complaining about me having said something you didn't like, just like in my art deco thread where you aggressively tried to argue with me after I posted something you didn't like.

You must enjoy this, upsetting me when you know I am in a vulnerable state. Does this make you happy? Constantly criticising me? Constantly judging me? Constantly telling me everything I do is wrong?

Please. Follow what I said and stop responding to me. I don't want you to. I never asked you to. And I certainly never asked for your negative comments on everything I do.

How about you put yourself in my place, where I have no other way to interact with anybody outside of this site and I have asked a few questions, and in place of an actual answer, I have gotten the same "Your stamps are worthless" response, despite never having asked if they were worth anything or even implying they were.

I asked the questions I did out of genuine curiosity, I have never, never, ever cared about value. I have already gotten responses from people saying "your stamps are worthless" on other questions I have asked, I get it, my stamps are worthless, if that is the only response I am guaranteed to get, and my genuine questions ignored, why would I want to post here?

Regardless, I simply stated I wasn't looking for value and repeated and clarified my questions. How this is aggressive, I have no idea.

Ellie - You obviously have issues that can't be dealt with on a stamp forum. Just because you are remotely interacting with us (hiding behind a keyboard) does not give you the right to constantly lash out at others for trying to help you. My advice is to tone it way done. Take a breath before you type. Else you will definitely find yourself alone on island with most members not responding to you. Now start your new Ellie by not ripping me a new one for saying what I just said. Please.

Constantly? Please give any example out of this thread in which I have been so upset by other members? Do you really think I need more criticism from you too?
