I hope my opinion does not start a war on this forum. I do know from inside sources that this is a place you can rarely express an opinion unless it fits in with the status quo.

I request that you explain this
groundless remark. This is simply not true. There is no STATUS QUO here. We don't have wars on this forum, no matter what you have experienced on other forums.
Anyone who has been here any length of time will tell you that all opinions are welcome as long as they are contributed in a respectful manner in a spirit of sharing information and have a basis which can be substantiated, or when the basis cannot be substantiated, it must be stated that it is speculation or theory...
Theories are welcome too... but don't state theories as fact, if they can't be substantiated.
All Luger enthusiasts are welcome here, provided they can comply with a few simple rules.
There are rules to maintain the decorum on this website. It makes it a safe place to visit for all ages, and a place where the posted information can be trusted to be truthful or factual.
This is a privately owned website domain and
the ability to visit and post here is a privilege, not a right. If you want to argue or attack other members, you may find yourself another forum to participate. That isn't allowed here.
Anyone can post their opinion, as long as it happens inside these rules. If you can't stay inside the lines, don't bother.
Posting must be done in a respectful manner...No flaming, no lies, no attacks, and it is not permitted to post "facts" unless they can be substantiated as facts with provenance.
Otherswise, opinion is just speculation and must be stated as such... Simple rules that boil down to gentemanly and lady like behavior, or you will find yourself not welcome here. Step over these lines and you can, and will be banned from participation.
This is an international organization of almost 9000 members that was founded to support Luger enthusiasts world-side and
we thrive on the truth, respect, and consideration for others...
not speculation or hearsay. If you have heard something from "inside sources" name them... more than likely it was from someone kicked out of here for not following the rules.
Any questions about posting here can be addressed in public, on the forum in the General Discussion forum.
I speak not only for the website owner and management, but also for the volunteer moderator staff, and the members.
