Killing elephants with swords

Do we really find it necessary to go into these graphic sardistic details in this forum, would these stories not belong in a hunters forum of sorts, where they truly enjoy the story of the various methods of the killing they employ and enjoy.

It would seem to me that the majority of us in this forum have an interest and collect to enjoy the ART of the weapon, that being the design, and the artful workmanship exhibited in the final product weather it come from a primitive tribe or from the most sophisticated makers at the time.
Yes, of cause we all know that some of our art objects may have seen uses in the past that would include killing, but I do not believe that this fact is of any consideration in our collecting habits, and nor should it be a factor as far as I am concerned.

I too was appaled by the graphics of this post, and question the reasons for this exhibition of torture and cruelty in this forum.
