<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1489937, member: 37839&quot;]In my opinion, all debate/discussion/polite and not personal attack arguments have NO business being censored.&nbsp; This is a hobby where divergent opinions are extremely valuable.&nbsp; I have oft times debated with Doug about grading,and he&#039;s been professional, polite, and authoritative all at the same time.&nbsp; Did I get censored for disagreeing about grading philosophies and TPG opinions?&nbsp; No, as the debate was never personal.&nbsp; TO stifle such discourse is extremely destructive to a hobby that contains a lot of subjectivity in terms of things such as &quot;value, eye appeal, luster, strike, and overall grade&quot; of a coin.&nbsp; Different opinions are what makes the world go around, and it seems that cutting it off is counterproductive.&nbsp; I use PCGS and purchase PCGS&nbsp; coins considerably, but far from exclusively--does that mean that if I say one negative or less than totally complimentary thing, I should be censored?&nbsp; Any business model is subject to criticism and that is the way it should be.&nbsp; Granted, harassment, obscenity, and general trolling any forum is both mean, counterproductive and unacceptable.&nbsp; However, if one can&#039;t criticize in a positive and constructive way, now does one learn new ideas?&nbsp; This forum doesn&#039;t do that and I am grateful for its existence--I could not deal with heavy censorship in any coin hobby environment, based on just differences of opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
