<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3584842, member: 15199&quot;]There is nothing nefarious in not allowing discussions involving Religion, Politics, and World events. It is not the result of someone being against such beliefs at all, it is that this Site was set up for coins. It is almost certain that in discussion of certain ancient coins that come up, that those three areas might enter that discussion, and if it is deemed appropriate, it is allowed. But when discussions start to get more intent such as &quot;the True Cross&quot;, miracles, saints and beliefs, etc. different followers of different religions will jump in and then problems arise. Peter saw fit that to avoid such on the coin forum , he started and financially supports another forum&nbsp; <a href="http://www.partisanlines.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.partisanlines.com" rel="nofollow">www.partisanlines.com</a>&nbsp; where such discussions are welcomed and debated sometimes furiously. The only general forums there are ( as you might guess) ~ Religion, Politics, and World events. That is why when something in those areas is even marginal here , they will be removed from here or infractions given, as each member can join there and debate the members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and their version of the Bible or others. Don&#039;t pull an &quot;unfair&quot; as you have the alternate forum possibility. Moderators uphold the rules. Please do not make us out to be anti-religious , or of an opposite political party from yourself, or someone who dislikes the US or patriotism, etc.&nbsp; So even the remarks some are a little upset about have their point and I do think Green ( even if teasing a little) deserves an apology. Thanks, IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
