Old keris Iron Vs modern keris

Hi Mark. I don't want a to start a debate or a flame war either, but i do think that Pusaka does owns us an explanation. Not only are entire passages lifted from this forum without permission and presented as his own, but then they are combined with his own misguided and false conclusions that are antithetical to the meaning and spirit of the original lifted posts. Mick"s Balinese keris is presented as an example of a keris made from modern steel and pure nickel that is then dyed black. Now you know why i never post examples of my collection on line.

Would someone please PM me a link to the discussion on the other board?

In the interim, I'm locking this thread until the staff has had the opportunity to discuss this.

It appears credit has now been given on that other forum, and it is my belief further discussion about that is unecessary here. Let's try to avoid this type of issue in the future, lest we all fall victim to inter-fora "wars" and politics. In my experience, such things invariably degrade the internet discussion board experience.

I am reopening this thread, and it will stay open provided we can keep the discussion on topic.

Thank you.

One thing to remind members, do not hesitate to e-mail or PM a Moderator with this kind of issue. We always give them serious consideration. Its just that we try and keep the boards themselves unclogged and on-topic.
