<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2607796, member: 28107"]I agree. The problem is largely that cheerleading is protected and those with rational dissents are expected to remain silent if this apparent new policy change takes effect. Look at the last thread Morgandude11(?) created. There was no mention by his supporters of the law and legality, and I was quite careful not to interject the law or call Carr pieces outright counterfeits in those threads. Look at the contemporary counterfeit thread. Did I in any way criticize those posters or trash their possessions? No. If someone starts a thread on Omega counterfeits or Henning nickels, am I going to object as long as information is presented factually/accurately and free from bias? No.</p><p><br /></p><p>The key is that things should be stated accurately. If they are, there is no reason to interject. Bad information, however, is like a cancer that will only metastasize and harm those in the hobby who blindly rely on everything some random anonymous poster told them on Cointalk (and judging by some of the posts here that seems to be the case). It is even more dangerous when those making misrepresentations have a pecuniary interest in the said misstatements. If voicing dissent to make sure that the uninformed know the nature of their purchases and to curb fraud makes me unpopular, then so be it. I also think this site is opening a can of worms and creating potential problems in allowing Carr's works to be openly promoted and even sold/purchased here, but this website can do whatever it wants.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
