Al: If your theroy is correct for us, then we should see you at the next major show openly criticisizing Kathy Shaners trees or Matts trees, doing the same things that you have been doing on this forum. My point being this, if you are going to critic someones tree to help them improve the material, then you should do it in a way that does not leave that person feeling angry. You should also do this in a way that leaves the person with the ability to feel good about what he or she is trying to acomplish.

I feel that I have the right to discuss this openly with you becaus up to this point you have only used your "critical eye" on my trees on this forum. You also started this thread because of the way that you hammered the tree that I used in the workshop thread. This is not to say that you have not offered your openion on other peoples work, it's just that in my case you seem to have taken it to a new level.

It is my openion that if this is not political then it should be the same for everyone and not pulled out for someone that you feel needs personal attention.
