[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5043, member: 112"]Peter - You and I both know people named in this suit and I'm sure a few other Coin Talk members know some as well. And they all thought there was no harm in posting their thoughts on another Open Forum. Now they have been served with legal papers and embroiled in a lawsuit for their comments in this Forum and in public. While I feel it likely they will win in the end - the question remains - how much will it cost them to do so ? This company, ACG, has gone to extraordinary lengths to pursue those who speak of them in a derogatory manner. This is not the first time they have done this and I doubt it will be the last. So as much as I think a person should be able to speak their minds on a given subject in a venue such as this - one does need to consider the possible consequences of doing so as it is not a frivolous matter and one could end up just as our friends are now. I will say I admire your courage Peter for allowing and even encouraging open discussion. I think you know I feel the same way and have my entire life. I have some personal experience in matters such as these. A publication of mine was once banned in 3 states when I was still in high school. Even that never stopped me from speaking my mind. I doubt anything ever will. But we should ALL remember - there can be consequences for our actions. Sometimes very expensive consequences. So to the members of Coin Talk I ask that you please consider this before posting any comments.[/QUOTE]
