Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 941178, member: 22331"]A Great Amount Of Confusion There appears to be a preponderance of confusion about what has been written. If someone wrote of me: "******, I IMAGINE, is very Conservative.", I would consider/argue that to be a personal "political opinion" as defined by a collegiate dictionary, to which I would take umbrage, especially when stated in a public forum. An exception being, if that political "label" is thoroughly defined,  accepted by majority viewing the post, and a specific supporting argument is presented which meets the public definition. Personally, I have confusion as to the meaning of these various terms, and believe that only each individual can define their "affiliation", and anothers' definition may be considered slanderous. I personally would label myself: a "Liberal" in personal intimate relationships, a "Contrarian" in financial relationships, a "Conservative" in economic relationships, a "Libertine" in legal matters, and an "Agnostic" in religious relationships, generally dependent on specific circumstances. I couldn't "label" myself without public definitions, much less define others' affiliations. I accept/respect discussion with others about their understandings of "labels", but reject "labeling". I don't believe it's been advocated that the rules would differ for a "separated" PM forum. I suggest that the isolation would separate the subjectivity which results from posts based on hypothesis/conjecture, often without credible basis, from the general objectivity associated with discussion of government issued currency designed for public consumption.Although I've enjoyed the snippets of fact/history derived from PM posts, Istill would argue that this thread is indicative of unsupported ramblings induced by PM discussion, and still prefer Option "C".[/QUOTE]
