Genltemen....

I wish I had more time to post...but....I remember a thread a while back which basically turned hte tide of thepurists..com....lots of old timers left....my favorite posts to read were those of Evetzee - hope you are well Frank!  YOu are missed! 

There is a proper way to say that watches suck.  The way the Bernard made his points, was, IMO, wrong and derogatory.  Calling the thread the Histpry of HW and Legacy of Max is wrong.  Again, coming from the moderator, who, lurkers who dont visit here regularly would possibly view the post as the MODERATOR BASHING THE BRAND - are not appropriate.

The thread wast called - Opus 7 - you suck - you have this wacked out lever which reminds me of a whacked out graham crono to tell the time...you sily designers....post.  This was a post which was titled and authored as something which would be construed as fact. 

Again, I might be stoned out of my mind and off base here, but interpretation and tone is 9/10ths of the law around these parts. 

Look guys - I dislike most offerings of many of the brands on these fora.  I like what EYE like.  Part of the reason I dont voice my opinion any longer - and other folks here who I personaly have enjoyed getting to know and meet, have all left this site because of the BS then went on some time ago.  Isn't this the kinder, friedlier purists.com Take a look at my post a few years back about UN when I referenced that someone was smoking something becasue the designs of a new, certain GMT perpetual in a square case was a horific evolution of a watch which I still cosider to be highly horologically important.  UN jumped the shark IMO...asg pointed this out as his opinion... and then little asg got bashed and berated by many...with personal hate mail and phonecalls etc.   

I really mean no disrespect either, and those who know me get it, I'm just not going to let someone, anyone, even the great bernard and Mr. MTF who's voices transcend out to many many potential purchasers of watches.........get away with crap.  

There is a way to appropriately provide comments and critisicism - They way you have done it, and the way I have done it are incorrect.  If done properly, threads like this dont happen.  

Guys - gotta run - Again, no disrespect...just need to protect the investments if you catch my drift.....
