Dear Guy I think Bill serves the community at large to remind the list and newbies who know nothing about the real Steve-- so, sorry I strongly disagree that we should all use the delete button. Steve has contaminated our collections with his fake/mislabeled/ relabeled specimens. Conversely Steve could have spent his time acting responsibly and not being a @#&#. Where is YOUR indignation at Steve?
And George? Is Steve a dealer or not? Sure acts like one but he says he is not one. Yeah yeah yeah yada yada ---but how many have gotten fake meteorites and how many have been outright cheated out of what they paid for? --You folks that defend Steve's giveaways are kool-aid drinkers that would accept free arsenic-laced kool-aid and think it a swell friendly gesture because it was a freebie and would defend his right to distribute it with your dying breath. If I loved art and could afford a Picasso and I wanted to chop it up because it was mine to do as I please--is it morally right to allow me to do so? You Steve defenders think yes it is ok as long as you get a piece. This "well Steve has never cheated me" comment is confoundedly naive. Do you also disbelieve your parents when they say don't touch the iron it is hot and have to touch it for yourself ? You that defend him because he has never cheated you personally--or those with memories shorter than a few days WILL be cheated eventually and then you'll whine about getting cheated. You deserve what you get and it won't be sympathy from me. Bottom line: those that defend Steve are either sub rock dwellers who are oblivious to the Real Steve and should gird themselves with a dose of reality prior to opening their mouths OR they are just unethical compulsive enablers that keep his pathological game play going because they do not have the ethics to do otherwise. If anyone else had ran a scam just once like Arnold does daily, the list would be outraged. Misplaced sympathy for poor generous Steve --held by so many allegedly informed and intelligent folk speaks very poorly about their judgment in general. MOST children are too immature to play with real loaded firearms but some enablers allow them to do so because it is so cute and charming but most feel it is immoral to let children play with firearms. Same-- same --for distributing meteorites by child-like adults and to other child or childlike personalities People who take hammers to meteorites just to give away pieces to garner sympathy /attention would not be allowed to own them if I were king. Why so many can't distinguish St Nick from the Grench in this discussion is beyond me. Elton who is also sick of "well poor Steve has a problem so we should never confront him" liberal touchy-feelly "jello for a back-bone" mouth pieces.
