    I have trouble finding ones that I really like, though. Pilot Iroshizuku Yu Yake is the favorite for now. Most others have tended to seem too dry, too weak, or both. I guess my bottle of Pelikan Edelstein Mandarin will have to be limited to my wettest pens because, while vibrant, it otherwise feels "thin". I wish I had developed an interest in orange before they discontinued Sailor Jentle Apricot. It was only recently that I realized I had a pretty good coverage of usable colors except for a gaping hole in the orange area. I have also been contemplating an amber ink as a usable color that is close to yellow. The trouble with these colors, though, is that I think Lisa is very right to say "but a little goes a long way."

    Um, with all respect, no one else wants him to "do it elsewhere." We very much like having him among us. Have -you-contributed to the community in any way except to encourage divisiveness? Your behavior fits the definition of a troll, but I can't figure if it's intentional or not. To give you the benefit of the doubt, here's a start: what's your favorite fountain pen? What do you think of flexy gold nibs? Do you like orange inks?
    I agree with Special K. And I have made the same request that speculation and rumor be moved to private conversations out of courtesy and respect for the parties directly involved. Obviously, this is a forum that permits obscenity. But not everyone has to like it or be called a "troll." Unless, by definition, dissenters are deemed trolls. And for this site, such a definition would indeed be a "hypocrisy," the title of this thread.

    my favorite fountain pen currently is my Lamy 2000 Makralon. I have never used a flexy gold nib, so I can't really give an opinion on that. But generally speaking, since my cursive is rough and labored, I don't use flex nibs of any kind. I own a few Noodler's flex nibs, but they have all been replaced at this point.

    You?
    I agree, at this point speculation is a bit pointless. Really few people are offended these days with obscenities, it's fairly tame here anyway, and they're easily ignored if it offends. That this forum allows it is more a reflection on the openness rather than a detractor imo. Personally though I prefer to not use obscenities because the open nature of a forum ( age etc.) nor do I use "slang" as the meaning can vary from country to country. On another forum I used a slang term that in Australia had a very different slant to the US take , I can't remember the exact words but was informed in the US the interpretation involved a mouth and a body part....an embarrassing red face moment ....and a quick learning curve !!

    Gold flex nibs are good, a big variation of course but best not to overflex them. They (fountain pen nibs) where never really designed for the extreme flex you see some people use, more for a very light handed person. If your after extreme flex the old steel dip pens are the way to go.

    Regards

    The blog Pen-Ink-cillin just reviewed Diamine Pumpkin, and shows a couple other orange inks. I think Diamine has 6 or 7 orange-y ones. And I like their inks. Pumpkin looks like my next buy.
