I looked back through my emails and I found a bunch of emails dated in March of 2003 between the fishmonger and myself. (Those emails would make the discussions between George Shor and myself seem like 2 babies babbling to each other). From reading the emails, the fishmonger seemed to be a stable and accommodating person on Bamboopeople.com, but when he started up the forum (IBL--Internet Bamboo L..??), that's when the dual personality came forth and things started to heat up and the meltdown had its initial beginnings.

And out of chaos, a new Order emerged: Bambooweb.info

IBL=Internet Bamboo List.

To me the funniest thing thing that KarpKeeper did was to put posts on Bamboopeople using one of his other email addresses saying how great his website was then he would reply as KK and thanked himself for the compliment. I know I have two accounts here but I do not use them to talk to myself (yet).

Roy, are you infering that there may be someone out there who finds you less than agreeable on some subject matter???

I would say "differences in opinions on certain subject matters". Beat me over the head with facts and prove me wrong, then I'll thank you for it and treat it as a learning experience on my part and I'll be happy I learned something new. I don't respect the "just because I said so" answer. Only my boss has that privilege.

Once you think you know something as a fact, then that's the time to start questioning whether or not that "fact" is indeed a "fact" in all cases. You learn a lot more that way.

When I first found BambooCraft online, I started posting like most newbies, and will never forget the argument I almost got into with Brad about something... he posted a comment, and I had not expirence that... so I was going to say, "nope, your wrong", then decided to keep my big mouth shut... I have managed to put a foot or two in it more often than is comfortable. then I found out he might actually know something about bamboo

I would have come off looking like the prize fool

fortunately, I have learned that even when Im sure Im right, someone might have information I dont, and I could be wrong!

I think that learning to say nothing about something so you dont misspeak is a valuable asset for those entering politics- perhaps I had better consider a career change!
