You said: "When falsehoods go left unchallenged, they become interpreted as truth by those who do not know any better (especially new-comers) because no one said anything to the contrary."
I am referencing your quote, because in the post you just made, you said: "many people who are not as well versed as you are will be fleeced, and as a candidate for club office, I believe you should be concerned about that."
Archie, (and all others reading this discussion) I believe that I have made this concern well known to everyone. In my opinion, it is when the sales copy changes to "actual casino" and "real casino" that I characterize the matter as a Blight Upon Our Hobby!
In my opionon, not only am I concerned about the Blight, but I have mades attempts to fight against that Blight, and MY concern is an integral element of my campaign.
My original reply was only meant to point out that the Le Cove chips were not designed/created by participants from an other message board.
But I will also say that there are members there that do make such attempts, and as you know, I not only take exception to it, but I also state my opinion to the contrary.
Since this thread has evolved to a campaign message, I'd like to make it perfectly clear that I take exception to selling what the determines to be "fantasy" chips as being "real" casino chips and whether I am elected into office or not, I will always fight against this Blight!
Thank you,
