The only commonality among pipe smokers is disagreeing and arguments.

I think Frank’s pipes are pretty cool. Mine is in process and I’m enjoying seeing the photos as it’s made. Thanks for sharing! Sorry for the uncommon appreciation.

Best time to say IBTL is when @jpmcwjr has read through all the messages and considering whether to close it

If you didn’t @him it would take longer to find.

I have to say - some conflict is OK and does get somewhere eventually. Closing it too early closes opportunity for learning. Hate is a good cutoff. Safety concerns is also a good cutoff. The rest - meh - let it roll.

I don’t think this was too bad - but, my public apologies if I didn’t help the situation.

What?!

I’m not sure how to take that…They don’t smoke well?

Animation is not craftsmanship. It is artistry. "there is a level of craftsmanship that comes through" how tf does craftmanship come through in a cartoon? lol

Also, art is subjective. Something that looks or sounds great to you can be awful to someone else. And vice versa. Craftmasnship: it works well, or it doesn't. Your pipe draws well, easy to clean, stays cool, lasts for hundreds of smokes = good craftsmanship.

Are you suggesting that there is no function given to art?

You drive on roads. They serve a function. Do you drive on art? Certainly some crafts can be art, you could make a very fancy beautiful road made of gold. But not all art is a craft. Drawing doodles is not crafting.

And you haven't answered my questions. Any of them really. Guess that makes us even.

A sedative calms you down. A road can be used to drive on. That’s a function. Art brings joy, insight, emotion responses - that too is a function. It communicates, inspires, connects - are not these functions of art?

But if that doesn't do it, we could enter a debate on the proper form for dwarf tossing.

You mean they are For Sale, On Sale implies at a reduced price, these aren’t on sale, but I wish they were.

From what I’ve seen you can buy them directly from him cheaper.

P.S. You got me all excited, discount pipes from Andrey... oh sad...
