<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 687465, member: 112&quot;]Ya know Tom, there is 1, and only 1, reason why we do not allow certain subjects to be discussed here. This is it - </p><p><br /></p><p><i>8 – Subjects we don’t discuss here</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Basically it’s common sense. Just about every person on the planet has heard the saying – “never discuss politics and/or religion”. Why ? Because it starts fights, arguments and causes nothing but hate and discontent. If you wish to discuss politics and or religion, then go someplace else. We don’t allow it here.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Now I know that some might say that it is impossible to discuss coins sometimes without mentioning politics since it is the politicians that make the decisions regarding coinage – and that is quite true. And since we have phrases like “In God We Trust” on our coins you could say that the discussion of religion is necessary in a way – and that is quite true. Therefore, it will be up to the sole discretion of the Coin Talk Administrators and Moderators as to what constitutes a permissible discussion on these subjects – period.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Now what I have tried to explain to you is that the vast majority of the members here LIKE that rule. They want it that way. They come here to discuss COINS, not politics and religion. If they wanted to discuss politics and religion then they would go to forum dedicated to politics and/or religion.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the bottom line is this Tom, those rules are posted right there at the top for all to see and READ. And every single member there is, has to agree to follow those rules if they wish to participate in this forum. They don&#039;t have to like it, they just have to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you rather obviously don&#039;t like it. So I have to ask you - why are you still here ? I can assure you, we are <b>NOT</b> going to change the rules.&nbsp; Count on it, it aint gonna happen. So if you don&#039;t like it Tom, you can leave. We absolutely do not force you to come here. And I promise, if you do leave, we won&#039;t mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>And when you say - </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; I am also aware that I get edited quickly while others roll on with their &quot;drifts&quot; into non related areas, usually unchallenged. I think the &quot;insults&quot; come at me, equally unchallenged. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you please, please, show me an example of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
