I have to agree completely too. I often stand opposite KO's views, as do many others...The thing though, is he knows it, and it doesn't need to be said here. He doesn't need to know what each and every individual feels, for or against, and neither do I, or anyone else here. He knows that with every word he says, some will love it, and some will hate it. That's his job.

Now to get on with my point. We are all here because of shared joy in collecting. Some of us will become friends, some aquaintances, others just people that we'll make a deal with from time to time. Is it ok for us to talk politics amongst each other? Sure! But not on this board. Maybe in chat, maybe over the phone, or in another forum, but this is a place for us all to get together and escape from politics and other such things. Basically, a little slice of our life devoted to one passion. Collecting, and broadening our knowledge of the hobby..

That being said, if KO were to come on here, would he be bombarded with a bunch of political crap? You bet. It's not right, because he'd be coming here for the same reason as the rest of us. For that, we should embrace him as one of us, because deep down, beyond the politics and money, that's what he is.
