: : 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.
