Also on several occasions before I started the new thread Atlantia, I gave Spiral the option to scan and post from Huxford's book on POST 13;


As for Berkley it was in my view biased, hence I edited the post and put in his details and connection to Spiral on IKRHS, if it was not biased why did he not question Spiral about his misleading quotes, and infact one complete misquote?

A forum can only be the Mecca of something, if the information given as fact is correct! Of course a view at one time, may not be a view in the future, more than acceptable.

As for me making an apology to Thinredline, that is between myself and him, cheers Simon

PS if you want to start another independent thread that is fine by me.

Hi Simon,

I think you are missing the point somewhat, that's a shame.
Your personal probelms with Jonathan seem now (from your above comments) to extend to Berkley and 'The International Kukri Research and Historical Society'. I would have to disagree with your opinion and add that my experience of both gentlemen are of people who'se views and research is of an ever expanding and evolving nature and not that of a fixed perspective.
As I said, if you were to present your theories in a separate thread in the appropriate place, with your supporting evidence, in a calm and impersonal way, then I'll happily join in.
Failing that I have nothing more to add beyond what I've already said apart from giving you permission to call me Gene We're all friends here.


Best
Gene

P.S. that's a final word from me here, so don't worry if you reply and I seem to ignore it. I think poor Richmonds thread has suffered enough.
