Oh, OK then.  I think you're wrong.

Too often "debate and discussion" degenerates into outright argument and antogonism because the forum isn't a complete form of communication.  The words are misinterpreted or taken out of context whereas if the same thing is said person to person then the body language adds to the meaning.  

I'm quite happy for everyone to have their say but err on the side of caution with the comments to avoid the possibility of misinterpretation and/or argument.

Just woosing out............

I see ACF as providing as a great outlet for collectors to communicate and share their thoughts on their hobby. It provides an excellent source of information and personally I enjoy seeing the examples of coins and notes that people have acquired.

There may well be differences of opinion eg on grading - not really a surprise there, but that can be helpful. I think posters are passionate  but I don't think there has to be robust discussion for that to be displayed. I also like to keep up to speed with the footy codes but their forums regularly degenerate into slanging matches irrespective of the subject matter.  A civilised forum like ACF is appreciated.

Are you stirring the pot Trout? :diablo:

My experience is that excessive disagreement on forums just leads to arguments and conflict.  Some people take being disagreed with well, but most do not.  I've seen too many forums torn apart by (what I consider to be) petty arguments between a few posters.  I do not think there's a problem with this forum.

But trout, if you do want to be disagreed with I think you're dead wrong about that acid dipped $1 coin over on CCF.  I've seen lots of acid dipped coins and that's definitely one of them.  Interesting idea about it being glued to a bar.  But wrong.

Just the way it is
