Evidence of overlacquered hammers

[Richard Brekne]

No David..

You are becoming the real pain in the ass.  There.. for the first time 
since I have been on this list I stooped too such levels.  You seem to 
feel its your right to tell people that their ideas and thoughts are not 
worthy when ever they dissagree with yours. I've seen this several 
times. You have uttered words and accusations few people here would 
dream about stooping so low to say. What you accused Robin of a year or 
so back was just plain disgusting. And that was by far an isolated instance.

I am not twisting anything... You stated and have repeated that there 
was some connection between soundboard construction hammer selection, 
and you have been rather more specific about it then you seem to want to 
stand for when put to it.  I reject that, I am not alone. And there is 
nothing about stating so that rates the kind of assinine response it 
seems to provoke in you.

What you claimed and didnt is on the record and I simply leave it to 
folks to go back and read.  As for further exchanges, I would hope that 
regardless dissagreements on issues you would find some sense of basic 
decency that you could hold onto a bit more firmly.

Enough on the subject matter. I have always refused to carry on 
disscussions with those few here that drop to these levels... and this 
one is no exception.

er... Cheers
