I don't remember David quoting the Bible. He was a Buddhist or former one if I remember.
I am sorry for his/Monsoon's experience, but the offending member is a well-known troll and may be or likely the result of a duel member profile.
Anyway, I am glad we are back onto pencils as I am enjoying these Rocket Autopoints much.
This from the King of Trolls!!!
As for Monsoon / EoC / David Jackson: The current frenzy of Monsoon posts have every "signature" characteristic of EoC including a the play of the victim card and the announcement of a departure. I'd be glad to post the complete EoC checklist again if you wish. You are fooling no one And don't let Candy/Chuck fool you. He's dumb but not THAT dumb. He knows who you are too and is just egging you on.
David, speaking for myself, I don't really care what you fancy as your name of the day......just go and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I just keep hoping that some day you will actually do as you threaten and leave, for good. But, we all know....... you won't. :cry:
Re: Does anyone collect Mechanical Pencils?
My thanks to you christof, that looks like a mighty interesting site. Have signed up and about to dive in! It also has moderators so I dont have to put up with the delusional crap like what was just put up before my message here.
Re: Does anyone collect Mechanical Pencils?
Somebody here asked why I wrote about non-pencil things that were happening here and I plum forgot to address that properly. No doubt other states are nice, interesting places to visit, nice people, boring hats of course, but when someone comes at you who clearly has a big hole in his screen door..... well, I can get like a dog with a bone sometimes thats all. If it was just general insulting behavior I might've let it be but it werent.
Re: Does anyone collect Mechanical Pencils?
I'm going to need Cliff's Notes on this.
Do we like mechanical pencils or only like modern options. And, have we waived off wood case pencils?

Yes, some. Here is a monochromatic look at some of the mechanical pencils and lead holders I have. I might have posted it here previously (?) but yeah... there you go :)

I prefer the Autopoints to modern but have use the Pentel Automatic Sharp .7mm for decades. I also use Mitsubishi 9850's daily.

Yes, No. 3 exactly (or two of them, actually, both the fat stubby one and the slimmer one next to it). Awesome fun for sketching with 6B lead. :)

Thank you! I do like the fat stubby one better, and I bet it is fun to sketch with!
Re: Does anyone collect Mechanical Pencils?
I like these early Caran d'Ache mechanical pencils which were also called Fixpencil:

a high quality mechanism combined with minimalistic design.

Re: Does anyone collect Mechanical Pencils?
Some beautiful pictures!
I don't collect them, but have acquired a few along the years, beyond my needs. When I love a Fp but cannot really use it or afford it, I try and look for the pencil instead. I did this with the Homo Sapiens, for instance. The material is awesome, but the grip does not agree with my hand. So, pencil, which is great! I also have a Omas Tokyo in orange that I love and a Visconti Ragtime in a beautiful celluloïd. A few vintage also: an old Parker in this amazing strillated celluloïd, a P51, a Lamy 27 and a what I think is a Pilot Murex pencil. Pencil a great!

This above image is about my new pencils I bought last week. These 12 vintage pencils are on the post and coming to me soon.
I think it is a crazy bug that I got to get into this rabbit- whole.
