If people would stick to ECU and topics related to it and precious metals there would be no problems.

How many times do we get heated arguments when the discussion is on ECU?

If we avoided any discussion of politics we would lose 90% of the problems. My vote would be for a total ban on poitical discussions amongst users of this forum. I have no problem with posts that include references or links to any topic that might have an influence on ECU, the economy, PM's, markets, etc but as soon as personal opinions come into play then we start to have problems.

Ban political discussions and the personal "attacks" would almost certainly cease. Most of the supposed personal jabs are silly and would almost pass unnoticed until the comabatants joust enough that everything is scrutanized and taken as personal.

Knock it off...
