Luke, I think it is somewhat different here. Some of our most knowledgeable collectors are also dealers and have had many private dealings with other members on this forum. When members praise an individual for a good deal all is well and the dealer, who is also a collector, contributes his/her knowledge to the group. When things go sour on a private deal and it becomes public then the Scud missiles and hand grenades start to fly. No one wants an environment like that (well, some might). I think we can all agree that this is too valuable a forum to let it degrade over issues that can and should be conducted privately. No one can stop you from saying what you want but it would be a shame to see this forum lose a knowledge base that is immeasurable. Maybe we should all think about nuturing this site and self monitor what we say. Think about the alternative.
