You are clearly not up-to-date with your conspiracy theory readings...  

 

A term used to denigrate those whose views are antithical to the promoted narrative.

At times, yes. Without the denigrating term (and also without comment on what kind of "readings"), I could argue, my comment still applies... 😛

Regardless if it is pretentious or politically correct, this is the world in which we live in. Individuals can either adhere to social norms or not.

Black Parker pen is like black formal shoes – it works perfect in any circumstances

 

A Parker flighter isn't a bad choice either.

I have to ask, at what point have pretentious and traditional become synonyms?  I apparently didn't get the memo.

Of course, it is good as well :)

For "centuries" I've carried my old Classic Fligher (ballpoint though) in my pocket or bag everywhere, and even used it for signing docs occasionally

loveee! I use a Parker 45 Flighter. Chrome trim. I use the correct side on good paper and the reverse side on bad paper, and I tuned the reverse side so that it acts like a stub. :3

If you ask me, they're all pretentious. However, something with a stub nib would work admirably, and you needn't spend a lot of money on it unless you need to sign stuff in public, Mr. President.

 This is somewhat common now, as conspiracy theories have proliferated into the mainstream now, (I can only speak for the USA). I used to be a "conspiracy theorist" a few years ago, but there are different 'levels' of theories, so to speak.

 

 Some are, as you said, simply digging deeper to our narrative. I don't consider those as "conspiracy theories."

 

 Some, on the other hand, are the works of nutjobs, (lizard people, etc.) Unfortunately, I feel into the latter category when I was a conspiracy theorist, so one must understand that people are mainly reacting to the the 'fringes'... 

 

 (I'm done ramblin'... 🙃)

Anyway...this was my signature pen today:

The younger ones in the last years - yes.

The a little older ones and also dating a little farther back - black MB, gold trim.

 

And nobody ever comments on it. But it is seen.

 

In a setting like that I once commented on the rather subdued Lamy (plain and silver but nice, don´t recall the model) one of the guys (who actually took notes) had and we had a little chat about it as he liked my pen, too. The biggest fun about the whole thing was watching the MB guys out of the corner of my eye while we did.

Of course if I get to be a famous writer, having to autograph books, it is likely to be a Noodler's Charlie or Konrad, because I'd be using Noodler's Kung Te Cheng to sign with....  Although I have considered trying it in a vintage Esterbook with a manifold nib, after having to switch to a ballpoint for the carbonless loan forms, the last time we went car shopping....

I've signed books. Depending on the printed page stock, it requires different inks and a different nib that one you might normally choose. A fast-drying ink is a necessity and usually a non-italic nib.

 

If the paper is calendered, most inks will not respond as you might think they should.
