I have no intention in discussing any dealer or person.
I know enough about antiquities and quite satisfied with what I
acquired from Artemission, authenticity re-confirmed by both Christies
and Bonhams.
The words you used in your message are strong enough to clearly see I
was right in the first place, it must be a serious personal grudge. Or
worst....
Using: rat, sordid, fraudster, creep among other words would not
reflect very positively on yourself or your business. Too aggressive IMHO.
You, of course, have the right to try your best shots against
competition, but is this the way you think will earn you any respect?
or more clients? I seriously doubt it.
Good luck with your campaign but I want no part in it.
