<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2945612, member: 19165&quot;]If the thread turned political, I didn&#039;t see it. The last time I looked at it, it was a discussion of challenge coins and their function. There was a discussion of Trump&#039;s coin, but it was largely unpolitical. It may have turned ugly while I wasn&#039;t watching. </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the no-politics rule, but that wasn&#039;t where the thread was when I last saw it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, I definitely understand OP-ED pieces. The problem was, the OP didn&#039;t. That&#039;s what he posted (and seemed to refer to as fact). The link was an incredibly biased political hit-piece, and I was trying to post a more factual analysis of the situation. I think Wa-Po did a good job of describing the challenge coin and its context, which is why I linked to it. In today&#039;s polemic environment, you can&#039;t discuss the design of the medal without including your pre-conceived notions about the designer of the medal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, you should probably just poof this thread as well. Clearly there is no way to discuss any current event without being political or offending anyone. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is a sad state of affairs, but it&#039;s true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
