: : Is this flame war and attacking really necessary? the whole purpose : : of this forum (I thought) was to provide information and tips on : : Henna. if someone is a supplier, what's wrong with them telling : : someone new that and adding a link to their post? : I agree. : I've found the (often) entirely unwarranted sniping and the subsequent : bickering far more offensive than the occasional bit of self-promotion : from someone someone trying to earn a dollar on an enterprise : relevant to the topic of the forum. : To the snipers and flamers I say "Get a sense of history, folks." This : time last year you couldn't have found half as much useful information : online as there is now, and that fact is partly due to the sudden : increase in commercial activity in henna and related goods in the US : and elsewhere in the West. : The best of the people who have made serious investments of their : time, talent and resources in developing small business around : distributing henna products or as practicioners of the craft have : learned a great deal along the way, and almost all of them appear : willing to share what they know, and I don't see that anyone is harmed : if along with sharing their knowledge and experience they mention the : fact that they're in business and would like you to have a look at : their goods or visit their websites. : And if the header to a post looks like a blatant bit of pure : hype...pass it by without comment. All the complaining that's gone on : hasn't changed a thing, but it's occupied more space on this forum : than the original posts that a few people found so objectionable. : Roy Very well said...Thank you.
