Boy do I hate the PC phrase "Happy Holiday" :bonk: :bonk:

 

Merry Christmas everyone

Just because you celebrate christmas does not mean eveyone here does.

 

 

It isn't meant to be politically correct but rather it is inclusive rather than exclusive.

Best to all...

 

 

This is one of the most interesting boards I am on. Not to mention habit forming (with one cheap pen and another bottle of Noodlers on the way...)

Sheila and I would like to wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Christmas, and the New Year they would wish themselves.

 

To our snail friends I would add that we do not send Christmas cards - all will become clear in due course :)

 

For those who celebrate differently have fun, stay healthy and enjoy.

I suspect the God we pray to (however we refer to Him) has enough sense to iron out the wrinkles Man has put in :)

 

For those who have no religious beliefs - enjoy the holiday & use it as an excuse to buy a new pen anyway :D

I'm not a christian and do not celebrate Christmas but it is what the 25th December is called in a Christian country. No other religion changes the name of their festivals - just the politically correct Christians.

 

I'm not Norwegian either so we need to change the name of today from Wednesday (Wodin's Day) to something more inclusive.

 

Similarly I am not Roman so 11 of the months of the year need to be changed. Being of Anglo-Saxon origin June is OK as it is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Juno. Of course that excludes all other non-Anglo-Saxons :(

 

As for the phrase "Happy Holidays" being inclusive it immediately excludes everyone who doesn't have a holiday.

Wow that's alot of writing and what seems to be some deep seated anger about the whole holiday and politically correct stuff.

Yes apologies to my fellow fountain pen fanatics for going off on one, but Tytyvyllus you are basically correct. I am extremely annoyed with the whole political correctness thing, especially here in the UK - it is getting totally out of control.

Hi Everyone,

 

I can't be bothered with the PC debate so may I wish all the best to one and all and, whatever you choose to call the upcoming holiday, have a good one.

 

Oh yes, what I meant to say in the first place, many thanks to the all the admins, mods and members who make FPN such a good place to play through out the year.

 

John :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
