<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7620163, member: 118780&quot;]As I mentioned in the now deleted thread, one great thing about ancient coins is we can discuss topics that were <i>once</i> extremely political in a way that&#039;s <i>currently</i> not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I live near Seattle. In my professional life, I do a lot of business in rural Alabama. One can imagine given the traditional political opinions in both areas that I come across individuals with sharply different political views than mine. Nevertheless, we get along fine because we don&#039;t air our political laundry to each other. We each keep our own views and stick to the business.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frank clearly crossed the line by airing his political grievances to the entire ancient coin community. He&#039;s welcome to promote his own views in other spheres, but an auction is not the right pulpit. Similarly, that specific individual in the other thread who used the discussion to tout what he believed wrong in the country was uncalled for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, on a positive note, I would like to remark that <i>this</i> thread has been very civil, and may be a model on how to discuss touchy subjects. From reading through the previous messages, we don&#039;t all quite agree, but we can still be nice to each other in our discussions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
