    I would think avoiding purchases from this region is no guarantee that what you buy is not from the region and being sold elsewhere by these same kooks.

    You had 2 general warnings not to follow the world politics angle. Keep it on the loss of historical material and not who or what caused the loss, take that angle to partisanlines.com

    if you have any doubt...walk away. Would you want an item that only became available by thievery?

    Depending on your relm of collecting, think about this. If what ever you collect is old enough chances are at sometime in its history its been apart of some type of ill will, rather it be theft, murder, slavery. At some point in time an enanimate item has seen just about anything. The saying "If these walls could talk" doesn't go without thinking.
    If you're into the paranormal think about the twisted things that could be attached to your coin collection.
    Just think about it. ;)

    So @desertgem. You delete and give me a warning about posting an article about fake coins that pertains to this thread and you won't even reply to me just like you wouldn't reply to me when I posted trump coins in the trump coin thread and deleted and warned but let another similar post stand. You better not have given me any points with that warning and deletion for a post regarding fake coins on a coin forum. I bet this place was much better before you became a mod. You are the only one I have ever received a warning or points from although I'm not sure about the points as they are not stated in the warning. Hmm, what does that say?

    If you want personal explanations as to points, etc., PM me or any mod. We do not discuss any members standing record in the forum. I ask about your fake coins link, did you read it completely??All of it? The coins were not the issue, it was the political essay/ranting further down the link. When that is the situation, either paraphrase it or edit a section out and post that, and reference the source. As with anyone, if you have a complaint , Especially if you think you are being treated differently, Doug and Peter are the ones to contact. Jim

    I don't think I'm being treated differently per say but you defenatly have a biased agenda. Many if not all here notice it. Granted I only read the first paragraph of the link so maybe this one was technically in small part a violation if what you say is true but does posting a link about fake coins that may touch on the political deserve a warning and possible points? You are the only one I've ever received a warning from. You seem to relish in your biased keyboard power and ability to spank people. Delete something, fine but to hand out warnings like candy is not right. Did you give me points too? PMimg you doesn't work. I've tried that and you seem to only respond when you want to. What a great model of a forum moderator you are

    Yes, I do have a biased agenda~ to have the rules enforced as written. However there is no bias against any specific person . This is a family oriented coin forum , Peter made partisanlines.com for politics, religion, and world events,( as I understand it), so those area could be removed from Coin Talk, yet people do not utilize it hardly at all compared to CT. Several feel that if they use certain terms or language at home, it should be OK here~usually not. There is a lot of different opinions on the forum as to what is political and what is not~ Again that is in the rules. Some threads on here go for hundreds of posts with no intervention by mods as the members are truly participating, talking about numismatics. That is the foundation of the forum, not politics, not religion, not world events. Stick with that.

    Please send what you and your "most if not all" think is my biased agenda to the administrators if you wish, I have no problem with that ( ask to remain confidential, that is fine with me ) they can see all of the records, interactions and conclusions on their CP.

    I do not know why PM doesn't work for you, I will mention it to Doug. Jim

    Would it be possible to get back to talking about coins? That is why I come here.
