<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1447575, member: 15199"]Inflexion, I hope you didn't take this to mean there is a conspiracy or even a desire on my or anybody's part to see the Bullion section closed or punished. My comment on "life support" reflects the efforts made to keep the postings within the rules. Yes it is hard to keep much of the discussions devoid of politics, but you will notice that I do not eliminate or edit referrals to the "gubermint" or such, but when specific people or parties are mentioned with regards to events it is different. Even conspiracy stories are common fare, but many expect such to be taken for truth and get offended beyond the rules when debated on it. The common code of ethics on Cointalk are to trash the coin but NOT the person. The Bullion forum has no coin as such, so one can trash the USD, Euro, etc., but NOT the person. That is going downward in the Bullion section in my opinion. Maybe the general member doesn't realize that mods can't read each and every post ( and I certainly don't want to ) and we depend on individual members to draw our attention to an offending post ( the triangular icon with the ! in it at the bottom of the post. This forum gets more than their proportionate share. So many do want to have a polite discussion of bullion investing and mainly read as you say, but some wish to draw attention to themselves and their beliefs. That is the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't always agree with you, but your comments are always understandable, insightful , and polite.
