[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 499814, member: 15309"]I agree with this statement very much. It seems that even the most experienced cointalk members understand that they are still learning. There are just so many self professed experts on the TPG forums that it detracts from the fun and new members are intimidated from posting after lurking for a while. Cointalk is such a friendly place that even the most inexperienced collector feels very comfortable asking a question. It is a testament to the members on this forum. On the flip side, there are also some extremely knowledgeable members that provide for some exciting numismatic debate. I know that I go overboard from time to time, but I just love a good honest disagreement. The free sharing of ideas and the liberty to express opinions that are diametrically opposed are foundations of our great country just as coins are a fantastic historical look through time. I also really like the fact that the moderators are involved in the discussions and do not show up as virtual police wielding a delete your account button like some kind of fascist because you posted something that casts their TPG in a bad light. Members and entire threads disappear without an explanation or even a warning on other forums. Not on cointalk, free speech rules, and the moderators do an excellent job of knowing when to step in and when to let a disagreement run its course.[/QUOTE]
