<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2238285, member: 26302&quot;]Sir, while I freely admit much of what people believe about PM is wrapped up in politics or even quasi-religious feelings on the subject, I do see where the moderators are coming from. We can discuss certain current events, (as they pertain specifically to pm), in conversations, but nothing else. Why? Because then this would very quickly devolve into a political free for all screaming match, and I would probably get a time out as well. No one needs another politics chatroom, plenty of those around already. There is plenty to talk about concerning economics of pm, miner capacities and health, how pm acts as an investment vehicle, basis for physical, etc etc without having to get into a full bore political screaming match. Any poster can simply sum up their political views by saying &quot;I believe X will happen to inflation&quot; and leave it at that. They can discuss WHY they believe that point elsewhere on the web.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second point is you crossed the line calling Peter out. He is a gracious and generous host here. He is very hands off, and simply wants a G rated chat board about everything numismatic. If it were my board and you would have said about me what you said about Peter, you wouldn&#039;t have gotten, (and not just you sir, others have been there too), a &quot;timeout&quot;. I am not that nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>PM is a volatile area to discuss for all the reasons you outlined sir. CoinTalk COULD have simply banned all PM discussions altogether, but they didn&#039;t. They simply made a subsection for such discussions and allowed it to continue given rate G discussions and no political or religious screaming matches. I believe that is a fair compromise. Jim sure would have an easier time of it if he didn&#039;t have to babysit the PM section. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
