Dr. Ting, your open letter is full of hate and quite frankly, it seems
Jun 29, 2015,08:17 AM
a bit immature. I have been visiting Purists every day for the last few years, and quite frankly I feel that it has really gone down while some of the other newer blogs are more entertaining and also confer more knowledge and much better information.
While I have not met Dr. Bernard Cheong, I have always found his posts to be among the better ones on this site. When I see articles by him on FB, I try and read them as they are full of his vast knowledge and experience of Horology. I love watches and my family has always been keen collectors, and Dr. Cheong's posts have always added to my own experience and knowledge. May of the watch journalists today are a bull-shit lot - they do not know anything and write long articles without having a clue. And no, I am not referring to anyone on Purists.
What did he do that gives you the audacity to write like this to him publicly? He is a world class collector and a top doctor; he is not some punk whom you can speak to like this. Where is your sense of respect? Ok, maybe he violated a few rules. Even if true, so what??? It is a watch forum for crying out loud. He did not 'violate' or 'share' defense secrets with the enemy. There are lots of worse things in the world he or anyone could have done.
SJX was removed from Purists Cartier forum sometime back. I stopped going to the Cartier forum after that. Now you are going to "Ban" and "Delete" Dr. Cheong's posts. You are not doing the Purists or anyone else a favour.
You are just killing it softly yourself.
