[IBC] Reiner the Bear
Luke,
You have quite effectively distorted Reiner's words to the extent that your arguments in response are irrelevant (and mostly erroneous). For instance, you make the following observation/question: "So age only matters when something "good"comes with it?!?" In the context of bonsai, of course. That you don't understand that is regrettable. Bonsai is an aesthetic endeavor, so when judging and quantifying the physical/aesthetic elements of a bonsai, age is irrelevant except to the extent that the age impacts the appearance and is referenced in the context of the design. This is probably something with which you should come to grips in the course of your bonsai study. You also observe: "And, BTW Reiner, if you think Kimura is classical then you'd better recheck your grip on reality." And I think that you'd better expand your clearly limited acquaintance with Mr. Kimura's work. Mr. Kimura is a classicist in a documented tradition of classicists, but with talents that allow him to have thrust innovation into his work as well. Spend some time getting to know Mr. Kimura's body of work and you will begin to appreciate how ridiculous was your admonishment to Reiner. These and other naive and inaccurate (and petty) observations in your post beg response and illustrate clearly how "a little information is a dangerous thing." You should learn to appreciate how honest and contextually accurate (even opinionated) observations differ from petty, unfounded criticism. Reiner's observations (in the gallery thread) were constructive and accurate, though certainly tempered by opinion. Yours are merely petty (in addition to being largely impertinent). Your on-list tirade unnecessarily invites an on-list response - you should probably have expressed your ill-conceived and misguided ire in the context of the discussion you reference (if at all) and directed toward Reiner rather than as an "expose'" of perceived poor behavior. Also, it helps to be accurate in your characterization and your rebuttals.

If it were me, I'd get a public slap on the hand (by our ever watching moderator) in a second. Reiner, being an old geezer, is of course untouchable in this respect. Well, folks, that's about to change... ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Mike Page ++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
