Members... It is the moderator's job to maintain decorum and order in the discussions in his area.
Ed Tinker took clearly appropriate action regarding the manner in which Klaus expressed his knowledge on this subject. No one took issue with Klaus' allegation, only the manner in which it was presented. As other longer-term members have since agreed, there has been published evidence regarding this Luger's authenticity.
Klaus, you are a new member here... and perhaps you are not familiar with the rules of behavior. They are found in the Forum Decorum document under General Information at the home page:
http://www.lugerforum.com/ForumDecorum.html
Please familiarize yourself with them. If you chose to leave the forum because you were chastised by the forum moderator for violation of the forum decorum, then that will be your choice, but it certainly isn't necessary... Stick around and pass on your Luger knowledge and learn from others as well... Just try to picture how your words can be interpreted by someone who is NOT familiar with what you are talking about before you push the
Add Reply button and I am sure you will do just fine.
thanks to all for you comments and understanding...
