Why Close a Civilized Discussion?

Albert, I may be wrong in my assumption and take offense to this quote:
<blockquote>quote:<hr />It appears that some discussions tend to favour certain collectors and dealers in the forum when the actual subject in discussion was concerning a special barrel and not whether the Luger carbine was fake or original.<hr /></blockquote>Reading Randy's remarks, I felt he was getting frustrated and he felt that the finger was pointed directly at him.

That is fine if you want to take this off line, but publically telling anyone and pointing fingers, I find non-productive {and I feel you did not mean it in that regard}, but I felt that others would not take it that way.

If Randy e-mails me and tells me he wants me to re-open the thread I will, but Randy stated <blockquote>quote:<hr />To All,

Final post from me on this subject.<hr /></blockquote>And in this regard, I felt that a member (NOT A SPECIFIC DEALER) was being targetted.
