I thought the going rate at the time was $20 per ounce.

FDR devalued the dollar from 1/20 of an ounce of gold to 1/35 of an ounce after the confiscation.

Roccus, you seem to be laboring under a false impression, namely, that individual freepers set individual rules on this forum.

They do not.

I have been very polite to you, and if you don’t like it, then you can ignore me, or you can find another forum more to your liking.

That’s how it works here.

That’s right, and thereby he confiscated a big chunk of the value of the privately held gold.

You and I had a go-around a few months ago. I told you then I had no interest in dealing with you any more. My FReepmail to you to "LEAVE ME ALONE" evidently made no impression either.

STOP HARRASING ME!!!

I've been harassed by experts.

What he's doing is not harassment.

I have not said one impolite word to you. What is your problem? You do realize that this is a discussion forum, yes? That means, back and forth...discussion. If you feel “harrassed” by polite discussion, perhaps you are not on the best forum for you.

FreeRepublic does not exist to provide you a platform to disseminate your genius.

The implicit rule here is "if you have something to say, be prepared to defend it."

If you are not prepared to engage other FReepers, you don't belong here.

Jeez - if you’re going to go all king-size bold, at least spell the GD words right!

Large misspelled words are painful to see.

I’ve been seeing a lot more of that around here recently.
