Ben,
You sure like to brag about you knowing your way around on Bali, where as you say :
Too bad that you still can't see the difference between a bamboo stopper and a mandau hilt.
Or are you just giving these complete bulls... replies for personal reasons.
What impression must this make on other forumites who have called on you for help in the past considering Borneo/Dayak weapons
In private e-mail you are calling me bitter.
But in fact you are not able to give a straightforward opinion on items.
Depending on if you like someone, or better said,
depending on if you need someone you give a shallow but positive comment on their items.
And if you dislike someone, or have personal issues with a person, you start giving very negative comments on their items. and even nonfactual comments such as in this case where something is clearly made as a mandau handle, and you start claiming it is a bamboo stopper.
