Ralph, I was referring to a specific instance where a lady wanted me to make
her a ceremonial blade for her personal religious usage. There is nothing
there that indicates that she has anything more serious to do with it than
cut air (which is the usual usage for such a knife.) Her usage is her own
affair- my interest is in making sure the item does the job properly for
her, just as I would be interested in knowing that a Briss I made had the
capacity to cleanly circumsize any child it was used on.

Instead, That Person came up with a snotty comment about how my attitude
isn't Saintly, assuming that I MUST believe the way he does, and comparing
making a ceremonial blade with aiding and abetting terrorists.

Bullshit.

Since I'm into quotes today, in the words of e.e, cummings, "There is some
shit I will not eat."
