I continue to be amazed by how tolerant CGC are.

I don't know of any company that runs a message board where a bunch of people are allowed to not only be critical of them, but accuse them of being lying, thieving fraudsters.

I think it's disappointing that this type of behaviour has spilled over into the Gold Forums. Normally one expects all the nonsense and drama in the WC & CG.

Gold is usually a peaceful place where the more chilled and reasonable members seem to hang.

Sad to see the hooligans are infiltrating and turning the place into one more corner to argue about how they have all the answers about covid. 

Who needs that carp here?

but in people's defense, they didn't accuse them of murder, implied yes, but directly accuse, no.

Just don't talk about Coronavirus, vaccinations, Post Office, Lysol disinfectant, certain dates of the year, etc. and you are good to go.

I don't think anybody is accusing anybody else here of theft or fraud, but it's clear you don't know much about veritcally integrated businesses and potential conflicts of interest the unlocking of business synergies which doesn't always work out in the consumer's favor, or just turn a blind eye to.  Although I highly suspect that you actually do. 

I guess the truth always hurts sometimes, but if you go back to some of the concerns that have been expressed over the years ever since this whole maximization of potential was uncovered about 15+ years ago, everything that we thought possible has sadly come to pass plus more.  The fact that the CGC Mods allows us to discuss the varying viewpoints that different members have in this controversial area is indeed a credit to them and needs to be appllauded.  

As I have always said here, it is clear that the hobby place here is a lot better with CGC doing what they do for us, but yet at the same time, it could have also been so much better.  Then again, I guess that's an idealistic dream world and business is business, and it's really up to each of us whether we choose to participate in it or not, as along as we are not blind and know the rules (both hidden and not hidden) of the game here.

I was on the PSA message board for many years.  If anyone ever mentioned that PSA bumped grades, or were lenient on grading to certain customers the threads got deleted. So, I have been amazed that CGC is a lot more tolerant of some of the discussions that occur here.

It's the smartest thing they can do, whether it's truthful or not.  Nothing drives conspiracy theories like censorship.

And then suspend the accounts of the folks that point out exactly that. So much for tongue biting.

Oh how I pine to return to the days of the Roman Empire when a failed conspiracy or a failure to censor your mouth both ended by the sword and you could protest all you wanted in the lions den.

Life was so much simpler when it was decided by a thumbs up or thumbs down gestures…

Tongue biting one of the mods here will certainly get you suspended.

Did you bite a cute one at least?

Can someone please summarize the moondog thread in a short paragraph?  I don't have time to read a 79 page thread but sounds juicy!

Thanks
