I should also ask that you post to me directly with your anger so as not to
take up the public bandwidth. But if you do please don't hold back as you seem to have some problem expressing how you really feel. My email is hhalem(at)glassnotes.com Henry Halem I would like to know your name and what is the history? Why do you remain anonymous? Henry Javahut wrote: Why is what Moonraker has to say unreasonable? Jesus Henry. And this from an academician. I've known you long enough to know exactly why you say that though. People and ideas are just a means to a personal end. Personally I'd rather make trinkets all day than sell my integrity for a few crappy bucks. Which is precisely the reason you'll never be succesful at anything but accumulating a resume that impresses the fools. Your book is a lazy collection of other people's ideas and your art is mere posturing. You should have been a Fuller Brush salesman. What's the deal? Got an ax to grind? Just plain don't like the guy? First time I have noticed you here, but more of a reason for me to stay away, this NG is getting like a damn chat room.... Well, there's a history there, if that's what you mean. For Henry the message boards are all about making money. He is not alone in that, though he has been particularly shameless in milking it. I remember one time when he told one lady not to solicit funds for breast cancer among the glass community, and in the next breath plugged his 'EZtherm' $20,000 molybdenum furnaces. So it doesn't come as any surprise that he would defend this Moonraker dirtbag and the actions of wetcanvas in censoring private messages for commercial reasons. Disgusting, but not surprising. For myself, I view people who need to make money by manipulating those seeking information as true bottom feeders and I give them a wide berth. People who approach 'experts' needing information about glass are coming to you with their hat in their hand hoping you will behave with integrity. Whenever I see that trust abused it makes my skin crawl. I first posted to rec.crafts.glass in 1994. |

Its Dave Williams, Henry. I'm not remaining anonymous, this has been my
handle on Usenet forever. And I'm not angry at you. That's kind of an easy way to ignore my point. What I don't like is your view of glass boards as capitalist free-fire zones where ethics and decency take a backseat to shilling shlepping and screwing the competition. Just because information boards are "owned" doesn't exempt their owners from an obligation to act ethically in their business.

Is it that you don't like the message so you wish to kill the messenger? Your childish attempt at censorship is no different than what is being criticized in this thread. You know, moonraker, on rec.crafts.glass, we have learned to ignore your brutish behavior - I usually just stop reading a thread once you come on. Seems like a reasonable discussion to me. I wonder how many people just skip out on rec.crafts.glass after encountering your "contributions"? Mike Firth Why is what Moonraker has to say unreasonable? Jesus Henry.

Your book is a lazy collection of other people's ideas and your art is mere posturing. You should have been a Fuller Brush salesman. At least he signs his name to his posts. Jack Who? Moonraker or Henry? I don't have any problem signing my name to my posts, it was just an oversight. I'm not really up on the netiquette here. Anyway you know who I am which is more than I know about you. If you don't tell someone your last name, you might as well not sign your posts IMO. And you'd certainly be on shaky ground criticizing anyone else for not signing theirs... |

In reading back over my original response to Henry I feel bad at the
anger in it. I guess I am angry at Henry. Or more acurately profoundly disgusted. Anyway, I apologize to Henry and everyone else for that. Its not an unqualified apology obviuosly, because I feel I have good reasons for my strong feelings. But I went over the top and let my emotions get the best of me and I apologize. I'll say no more.

If I saw you over on the Alt.homepower group then I'd be really surprised. |
