I was not alone in my impression.

 

 

Ok, I've commented on their post on February 12th. Lets see how long it stays up for.

My Comment:

"Is that why you made a pen celebrating the day of his assassination?"

 

Why would anyone leave such a purposely snotty comment? If you have comments of substance and hadn't abused them previously, you'd have reason for umbrage if they deleted, but in this case? Just being an ass. I've got less-than zero love lost for the jerk(s) involved in this misbegotten revival brand, but no one is impressed by clownish antics.

 

Well, I suppose someone might be.

Snotty commenting aside, I am actually legitimately confused at why they chose to remember the death and assassination of Lincoln instead of his birth.

 

I am sorry if I offended anyone with my rude comment.

Well, I can side with the confusion. And honestly, very, very little offends me - I'm known to use colorful descriptors myself. I just figured that, if you *really* wanted info, when dealing with thin-skinned people like the E guy you would have to moderate your tone, if you get my drift.

Funny you say that, after my first comment was deleted (<1hr) I tried asking in a politer, more inquiring manner. I bet you can't guess what the response was.

Did they tell you to shove it in one of their really nice boxes?

You get that on the box and I don't want it.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
