[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7619731, member: 112"]The very subject of your thread - Frank's comment - is what crossed the line. As did all further discussion of that subject. And therein lies the problem - the fact that in your opinion there wasn't anything wrong with the thread. Well, for the record, there was, and there always will be, something wrong with discussing that kind of subject matter here on this forum. Yes there is. In simple terms it's based on moderator discretion based on a couple of different things. One would be the original subject matter of the thread itself. If it is a subject we don't allow here then the thread goes. Another would be when a large number of the posts cross the line. You don't have to be comfortable with it, or like it. What you do have to do, if you wish to participate on this forum, is accept it and live with it. Same thing goes for all members. As for the forum policy, this is the policy - [I]8 – Subjects we don’t discuss here 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. 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] That is copied directly from here - [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-talk-rules.34131/[/URL] Perhaps in your opinion. But when it comes to forum rules, your opinion doesn't matter. Nor does anybody else's opinion. Neither you nor anybody else gets to decide what is and what is not acceptable on this forum. To the contrary, if those issues violate the forum rules, this forum isn't open to those issues at all. Perhaps they are a natural outgrowth, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to discuss them here. On this forum, it is not within your rights. No, they don't - not here. I would agree. And anywhere includes this forum.[/QUOTE]
