--- Quote from: OlaP on April 28, 2010, 09:45:14 am ---Hi all,
In my ideal world the following conversation would have taken place:
MSL: Hi, here is my new bow! Any comments?
ROD: Nice tiller, but have you ever considered making the top nock more flush with the bow limb? I know that many archers, including myself, have had trouble stringing heavier bows if the top nock isn't flush with the limb.
MSL: Hi Rod, thank you for your comment, but nope. I havn't thought of this before, but I see your point! Good idea! Do you have any examples to show me?
ROD: Yes several, but unfortunately none that I may take any credit for. Here are some pics...
But I do admit that I find the current thread more exciting...
Cheers,
Ola

Rod has never been accused of being tactful.

"Rod has never been accused of being tactful."
I met Rod at MoJam that year, although I'd "known" him from the internet much longer. Had dinner with him. Enjoyed his company.
I would not judge Rod as being overly tactful. LOL Neither would I judge him to be malicious in intent, or unusually conceded in consideration of his own standing in any area. Similarly, I'd not judge Marc to be overly sensitive to criticism, or particularly subject to the winds and whims of popularity or conformity. These traits I admire in both of you. Not that my opinion matters, other than it's complimentary. ;-)
And I should note that you both served as mentors of a sort to me as I was coming along in the craft, and have achieved some measure of proficieny as a consequence. Which is why I find this so perplexing, and have in the past. I think it's a darn shame ya'll have gotten cross-wise. Been that way for lots of years. Have seen this exchange, or one like it, here before.
Marc, as always I love to see elm wood bend perty like you make it.

This Thread started out real good, but now it's starting to really look embarrassing.

Mark, Rod, and EVERONE ELSE,
I learn so much from our family here at PA. I am almost ashamed to see this bickering from the people that I personally admire and lookup to.
You all have been so very patient with my newby questions.
Havin a hard time understanding the feud.
Almost makes me leery about posting my first.
Go back to what y'all do best, that's shaving wood, and GET ALONG...
