Just a brief word to state a few facts about Treasurenet policies....
(and personal thoughts....)
First and foremost, Treasurenet is a "Family Oriented" TREASURE website.
The ownership is of a private nature as opposed to a governmental entity.
In other words, someone started, built and wanted to share their love of finding treasure.
As such, the owner(s) have the right to restrict behavior and posts that strays too far off topic of the original intent of the website.
I'd bet that there are thousands of websites that would encourage talk of (and arguements, name calling, etc.) concerning politics, religion, etc.
Trust me. I learned the hard way.
(Jeff the Moderator set me straight. "30 Days in the Cooler!")

Now Jeff and I are cool.
I've got a pretty thick head, but I quickly realized that I didn't want to jeapordize my ability to be a part
of a community that I respect (and many have become personal friends)
just to state my beliefs that weren't exactly treasure-related.
I found it hard to resist the "baiting" of certain members who are no longer here,
but I perservered and everyone else should be able to, also!
Always,
My Best Wishes,
Scott
