It's odd to call other posters bullies. We're just little words on a
pc screen, just emails. Only one glassworker I know has ever posted
to this group. I'm just another old turkey, doing glass by myself and
knowing only a few others who do it. Once in a great while I may have
an idea. Once in a while I feel like responding to a post - like
now. I have sometimes got useful information from other posters.
Would the group be better if we actually knew each other? Probably.
Would the group be better if we had more to say? Certainly. But it's
a connection to others doing what I do. I'm glad you're all out
there. I'm glad the group exists.

I would like to see more links to other folks' sites and more images
of work.

Just about everyone who posts here is a glassworker of some sort be it
cold, warm or hot glass. I think you've been around this group long
enough to know that participation comes and goes. Sometimes the group
is extremely active and other times it's sound to sleep. Anyway, post
a website if you have one. Here's mine:

you know you are right. But there is some truth in the string that i was
refering to. I have tried to be in the very capable hands of these
bullies. I have been making hot glass for 20 years and i have been
following this group for a few years. There is a lot of good questions
here. Some are interesting for me some are not. I do feel that i could
contribute but why bother when this group allready have some noble people
who knows it all and if i say the wrong thing they will all be on top of
me

You mean like now? I haven't seen anybody get all "on top of" anyone
without them being an antogonist.
Are you an antagonist? If you are, you are a very subtle one, but why not
post whatever it is you have to say? 20 years of glass blowing certainly
give you the knowledge to tell one of these know-it-alls to stuff it!! Or
don't you do that?

Look, if it bothers you that some people on here won't stand for another to
blow smoke about something, then ignore it, who cares?
But if you feel you have a question, or an answer, hell, write it, you have
as much right to do so as anyone else, and this is the internet ,after all,
the bullies won't come knocking on your door and dispute what you said to
your face.

Say what you have to say, but my own suggestion , "let sleeping dogs lie"
to hell with that bully thread, if it were important don't you think it
would still be running? Sure there is some animosity here, but there is in
real life too, I don't particularly like my neighbor putting her yapping dog
out my back window at 6:30 am everyday, but I haven't killed it......yet.
