It just seems to me that anyone who has purchased PM for whatever reason is attacked on these threads

It depends on the reason for the purchase. If you bought gold because you thought it would go up and are not irrationally "married" to your position, that's an entirely defensible viewpoint.

If you use those phrases I listed above, then it's open season. If you insist that gold has to hit $1650 because.....then I'm going to belittle and make fun of you. If you say that deflation would be a good thing then I am going to ridicule your economic ignorance.

So we agree that theres room for certain types of gold buyers on these threads without them being ridiculed.

I believe that theres room in ones portfolio for PM.
