<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 7966886, member: 5372&quot;]Straw man again.</p><p>&nbsp;You are again avoiding the salient point of my comment and opinion....You completely ignored the comments in this thread by members that called for the OP to shut up, be silent, take it somewhere else, and admonishing the member via comments about mental status and family issues....all in a manner that is exclusionary and an example of Ideology of Division (and you particularly know EXACTLY what I am referring to).....and you ignored this rudeness and did not post one word about this type of attitude (maybe read forum guidelines), to the point of placing importance of a photo of a photo of a photo, AFTER your belittling &quot;Thou Shalt Not Steal&quot; post.</p><p><br /></p><p>You ignored the basic responsibility of a Moderator, equity and inclusion of all members.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP posted about coins. The OP posted about a problem in the hobby that is wide spread and known and given very little importance, overall.&nbsp; Why should this be objectionable, and why do YOU consider it is acceptable (which is tacit agreement with the members telling the OP to shut up and leave), and what is the hypocrisy (which is again opining a tacit agreement with the members telling the OP to shut up and leave), and what is the groundless absurdity? It is a phrase used to convey superiority of position....YOUR position....and is used as a defense of your failure of inclusion and defending ALL members equally.</p><p><br /></p><p>You state your agreement in another manner....your description of the &#039;offense&quot; as railing &quot;ad nauseum&quot; about coin theft.</p><p><br /></p><p>My passing comment concerning that particular subject, although it has nothing to do with my position of your questionable moderation methodology, is use a simple exercise: Google &quot;coin collections theft 2020 in U.S&quot;. 26 of the first 30 links are coin theft, the other 4 are Bitcoin and one is 2021. Then research the FBI Crime database of same, and what is astounding is the number of ACTIVE cases being investigated by the FBI, for the simple reason that there is suspicion by local authority that the coins may have been moved across State lines, or are suspected to be a Federal Civil Rights violation (because the victim is ELDERLY). 2,106 of the 4,319 ACTIVE investigations are age related civil rights cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point? The OP has a point, whether you agree or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question is (again): did YOU, as a Moderator, treat the member fairly? Did YOU, as a Moderator, consider that it is not acceptable to tell another member to shut up and leave the Forum? Did YOU, as a Moderator, state that members can utilize the tool provided.... toggle the &#039;ignore&quot; option? </p><p><br /></p><p>Yet you are quick to admonish a perceived infraction via a photo of a photo of a photo, which is very questionable as to any leagl danger to the Board.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, my opinion is your Moderation priorities are questionable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
