A few days ago I posted some humor towards one of the marketing ploys that some dealers use to retail coins and now the thread has vanished. I know it was posted here as I looked at it once after I put it out there. Someone said my thread might get "pulled" off of this forum because I may have hit a "sore spot" with the powers to be. Is this possible?

What do you collect ?
I like copper, nickel, silver, gold and platinum coins. The older the better.
Have a nice evening.
Joe

Guess I am confused.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
<< <i>I recently made a comment on a post about a certain coin coming to auction. It's a million dollar $20 gold piece and I said it was over graded by the TPG by at least 2 points and my post disappeared within 10 minutes of my posting. I do feel bad about posting an opinion so close to auction time, when this coin may break records for the date. But information is the key to educated buyers. >>
So, you did not have the right to state your personal opinions about specific coins and related coin issues, on this "U. S. Coin Forum"? I've spent just enough time on this forum to see about every kind of opinion, on coin and non-numismatic threads, along with every kind of response approval and disapproval, that it seems to be a healthy, enjoyable, and educational place to discuss coins, and issues that revolve around the hobby and business. Correct me if I am wrong.
so which disgruntled, ex forum member that was bammed is behind the mask on this ID
come on now, give us a hint!
anyone else notice the large proliferationo newbies and profiles since the mass baminations? probably just a Co-ink-i-dink
They're reborn as newbies!
As my most time consuming business is being finalized to be sold right now, I had hoped to be able to participate more in the near future. However, it seems that there is some kind of strange (and very questionable in my mind) type of censorship involved here, and I simply do not care to participate in an open forum where folks are mandated as to what they can, and what they can not, discuss. Especially if it is directly related to our hobby and our business and is openly being discussed in all of the numismatic press, on other coin forums, and on dealer teletype networks on a daily basis.
Whether any issue has any direct involvement or not, with the folks who run this forum, and by they not allowing certain controversial issues to be discussed, it reaks of survival induced censorship. Why would anyone want to discuss anything under those conditions?
Sorry, I'll spend my time elsewhere where free thinking folks get the opportunity to learn and discuss and both sides of important issues. Now! Line up and talk this way, or line up and walk this way. Whew! See ya.

Crapola dude, what's the haps with that ? .........I was the first one to respond to your post here. Did you answer my NUMISMATIC question ? I don't think so. You didn't even thank me for responding or acknowledge my existence. Now you are leaving ? Even after I told ya not to take it personal ? Then you launch a verbal attack on the place .... really now !
My mom always taught me if you ain't part of the solution then you are part of the problem. Maybe you ought to PROOF READ your short visit.
Good riddance to bad rubbish !

~U.S. COIN FORUM ~
now what did you wish to discuss ?
I'd like to see Mitch and Samuel back.... at least they didn't complain and only questioned the appropriateness of a certain post...but this picture fits here a lot better than over there.
Your friend in coins and life,
Joe

No. The mods and their bosses here are as even-tempered and fair bunch as you can imagine.
<< <i>Well, first off I have never been thrown off of this forum, and any coin forums or other open forums that I have participated in over the past 30+ years. All I did was inquire as to why my thread, and apparently other threads have been pulled, and am trying to figure out why. I have not had much time to participate on these forums lately, as year end accounting and other business hasn't allowed it.

"Finalized?"
Sounds like somebody familiar with the TPG process.
Whatever.
