Actually, I thought collectors of swords and blades are different from users of swords and blades, though some may be both collectors and users.

At any rate, users of swords and blades may not be aggressive too. I thought for most martial arts school, self-control is a highly respected virtue, and is achieved through determined hard practice of the art.

well, that's the conventional wisdom, but with what exposure i had with martial artists, i guess it comes down to the person's personality.

nechesh,

and the point is? oops, never mind....

Hi Ron ,
I find little value in discussing our passion with an American transplant ebay Dealer who knows less about the things he is talking about than I do .

Then when he starts throwing insults around ; well , who needs that ?

I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS THE ATTITUDE OF THE FLAMEING POST PERHAPS THE HOTTIEST, UNREASONABLE AND MOST UCOMPROMISING WE HAVE HAD MAY WE BE SPARED ANY WORSE ONES. WHEN I WAS IN BALI I FOUND THE PEOPLE VERY POLITE ,FRIENDLY AND NOT AT ALL CONFRONTATIONAL SO I WAS SURPRIZED TO FIND A BALANESE WITH A BAD NEW YORK ATTITUDE. A TRANSPLANT FROM A MORE AGRESSIVE AREA OF THE WORLD WOULD PERHAPS EXPLAIN IT MAY BALIS SERENE AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE STYLE MELLOW HIM AND MAKE HIM A HAPPY PERSON IN TIME.

Some years ago when my wife and I went to PI for vacation, we stopped over in Bali for a few days and sure is, people over there were extremely polite and friendly, but after reading Mr. ka "Wayan's" posting what a disgrace

I was ready to fly back to Bali last night to show Mr. ka "Wayan" how clumpsy my Moro Krises tang is. Oops! thought I was Superman

Where is that "some etch" now anyways?
Moderator's, do i get a tech 10 for this? I'll take it.

Guys:

Slamming people who are no longer members and cannot respond here is not very respectful. I understand the recent incident was disruptive and created some hard feelings. Let's not go there any more. Let's get back to the weapons and away from personalities.

There is much more interesting material we can occupy ourselves with.

Ian.
