Disagree with me, but.. do not tell me to shut up!

To the very few of you who dare suggest for me to stop../.

The post was never meant to be a beauty contest or to see how many people were happy with me or whatever..

I wrote about something that has bothered me for a while and simply gave my opinion to the matter, wanted to hear what others thought and if I disagreed with them I was to and will always defend my stance unless somebody can convince me to the contrary.

It really does not matter how many people agree or disagree, all of us have the right to have any opinion and defend it! Including myself, and just because the majority "of posters" disagree with me, does not mean I am right or wrong!

And let me tell you a secret, the majority is not always right.. after all, the majority elected Obama, the majority thought the world was flat, the majority thought that the best method of curing diseases was by bleeding people and the Majority of the Mayas thought that sacrificing a virgin would please the Gods.

Let me tell you another secret... the majority of posters write because the post hit them strongly either in the right way or the wrong way...but the majority of the posters do not in any way represent the opinion of the majority of chippers who are normally silent or do not read the board. And just because the majority of the posters disagree with me it does not give anybody the right to imply that I should stop or shut up. You are very wrong my friend, we are not so far gone yet that we can no longer express our opinion when the majority disagree.... not yet

The other post that said I had no right to disagree with the author of a book and in order to disagree I had to write my own book ....you are also soooo wrong... My friend, in my other life as a physician I was author or co-author of 5 books (medical) and plenty of people disagreed with me and my conclusions.. but under no circumstances would I had ever told any of them..if you do not like my book or disagreed with something in it go write your own book...in fact, I really welcomed their input because I was able to incorporate the ideas of many who disagreed with me on the following book...so what you are saying is just sad, really sad ....

Unfortunately for me, I guess, I have still not heard any argument to change my mind... I still believe that:

1- Borland fantasy chips are not real casino chips

2- Borland Fantasy chips should not be together with real chips under a casino that never saw these chips in the TCR & believe they belong in the back of the book with the other " Non-casino chips"

3- Borland fantasy chips should not be listed in the guide under a casino that never even knew about these chips.. but do belong in a separate category in the guide under the headings of Borland Fantasy Chips.

If you respectfully disagree is your right, and I applaud it... but please do not imply that I should shut up because I am in the minority or that to express my opinion I have to write my own book.. it is still a free country..and the second amendment, regardless of recent attempts to change it, is still alive and breathing!

Thanks to all of you who participated in this post, I actually learned a lot of history. vbg
