<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1860614, member: 41780&quot;]Then you may want to specify that it is the dealers you have a problem with to avoid misinterpretation.&nbsp; Actually, from what I have heard, Mike Maloney makes a lot of sense, though I think he&#039;s fair game for criticism.&nbsp; The silver gurus I have an issue with are Chris Duane and BrotherJohnF.&nbsp; I dislike Duane because he says &quot;listen to all and follow none,&quot; yet I notice he has a cult-like following on YouTube.&nbsp; His followers get enraged when you criticize their guru.&nbsp; The issue I have with BrotherJohnF is that he was always sensitive to criticism and eventually removed the commenting feature from his videos.&nbsp; I believe he even deleted a couple of my comments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Relatedly, I notice how acceptable it is to criticize bullion dealers, yet if someone ventures off into other forums and suggests that coin dealers are likewise shady, or that the shadiness in the hobby is a major problem rather than an exception, that person is quickly scolded by those who feel the need to defend the image of the hobby.&nbsp; Yet, it seems obvious that there is overlap between coin and bullion dealers.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to see all of the taboos broken, and not just bullion dealers as acceptable objects of criticism.&nbsp; Actually, I don&#039;t even care if these dealers do what they do.&nbsp; I just dislike the moral high ground granted to some of them in discussions, when the truth is exactly the opposite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
