Well here's my unwanted opinion, This is all about people perceiving a threat, real or misinterpreted and reacting to it as best as they can. I'm an ekspurt on this cuz I'm such an angry sumbitch an' all. A Maori is trying to defend her proud culture, didn't do all her homework on this sight first, posts message. Gman, defending his awesome work, replies. Repeat. BK doesn't appreciate comment about ripping on carvers who closely replicate pieces and defensive of one of his heroes enters the game. I doubt any one of these people's root desire is to diminish another. It's just self defense. The wrongs or perceived wrongs committed here are mostly based on false assumptions or honest mistakes. There's 3 good carvers getting discussed in this thread, BK, Gman and Whiting.
