Censorship on the PCGS message boards
I posted a message on the PCGS message board that I was haveing to make my
3rd quarter IRS tax deposits and for someone to post a coin with Hitler on it because I feel like I am under the Nazi's. Why was this article removed? I never received notice of this. How is it that this article can be taken down and I also not given notice by the moderator? Is allowing the PCGS staff to remove articles legal and wise? "The courts have ruled that is unconstitutional, because it allows the preferences and prejudices of an individual to make the decision." If PCGS is going to remove an article without warning ,note or justification then they must provide a way to identify those who performed this function. That is to ensure that an accounting secures that no abuse is done by "elements" hostile to the truth. They must also state in writing the justification for the removal....not just because they don't like the message or messenger. The only things that are illegal to write is libel...other than that it is called censorship and a violation of our 1st Amendment Rights. |

Censorship on the PCGS message boards
It's a privately run message board and they are free to set the rules of
conduct. 1st Amendment has nothing to do with it. "Al" wrote in message ...

Please READ the First Amendment. |

It's pretty obvious that your post was removed because you requested a binary file and because of your spelling of "haveing". Best you should post to an IRS message board and avoid having to spell haveing again. |

: You're joking, right? It's a *privately* run board. Please READ the First Amendment. Nope...your wrong. Have proven it before with them and people like you. No one can violate your inalienable rights...whether they be a "private " person, private business or public. What is it so hard for you people to understand that these are crimes against a person. For example : I don't have as a private person the right to take your life. The pursuit of life life,liberty and happiness. Just in that same way that I as a private person can't violate your rights neither can a business,private or public. Besides...did you not read this part?" because it allows the preferences and prejudices of an individual to make the decision." This is not objective but subjective,selective and discriminatory. Now another thing that is illegal that I can't do is libel someone here. For that they can remove a message.. Other than that...I wait to educate you(and if you are closed,others) to the truth and empowerment. |

Have proven it before with them and people like you. No one can violate your inalienable rights...whether they be a "private " person, private business or public. Do you believe you have an "inalienable right" to post whatever you choose on the PCGS message board?" What is it so hard for you people to understand that these are crimes against a person. When you posted that stuff, did you understand that the PCGS board moderator reserved the right to delete content? For example : I don't have as a private person the right to take your life. The pursuit of life life,liberty and happiness. Just in that same way that I as a private person can't violate your rights neither can a business,private or public. A "private" person? What might a "public" person be? I think you're reading from a piece of script from another rant that got misplaced in your PCGS pile. Besides...did you not read this part?" because it allows the preferences and prejudices of an individual to make the decision." So you're saying that only YOU should make decisions? Ever notice how Congress works? This is not objective but subjective,selective and discriminatory. The PCGS moderator apparently thought your post was inappropriate and removed it. You thought you were being cute and clever. They didn't. Big deal. Get over it. Now another thing that is illegal that I can't do is libel someone here. For that they can remove a message.. Other than that...I wait to educate you(and if you are closed,others) to the truth and empowerment. Oh please spare us your wisdom. |

It was pointed out that Nazi Germany had the lowest tax rate of all
Europe since much of their food and raw materials were looted from invaded countries, and about 25% of its gross national product was the result of slave labor by Jews and other forced laborers. Some of the Jewish coin dealers were not amused by the comparison of paying US taxes as being "just like the Nazis" |

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Golly, I don't see anything about PCGS in there. Heck, I don't even see anything about a PRIVATELY run board being able to delete ANYTHING they don't like. But why don't you do this. Sue PCGS in federal court. See how far you get. |

Just a couple of points.
1) Hitler NEVER appeared on any coins circulated in Germany 2) The 1st Amendment refers to GOVERNMENT censorship, not private. Just sayin' |
