I must admit that I was taken back at such a strong attack. While I've not met either of these two gentlemen, I have, during my time on both the OGD and SlipperTalk Forums, read many posts by Peter Croezen. While he may be a bit hot-headed at times, I've not seen any personal attacks by him regarding anyone involved in the kovachii saga.
So I am wondering, Mr. Marriott, where is Peter Croezen's "history of hating people"? How are his words "gossip maker/spreader"? What has he said that is not true? I'd really like to know, because I've been following what Mr. Croezen has said about the flasks from Mr. Arias, having almost purchased some myself (price being the limiting factor for me at the time). You seem to be a supporter of Mr. Arias, at least it would seem so from the posts you've placed here on the OGD (http://www.mail- archive.com/search?l=orchids%40orchidguide.com&q=Graham+Marriott) -- so I'm wondering what you know that the rest of us don't? I don't have an axe to grind in this matter, but I do think that strong statements need to be backed up with facts. Otherwise, they are just seen as rantings. And this Pk thing is such an important issue for the orchid world and especially the slipper orchid world, that I think facts are vital for all of us who would like to have kovachii and it's hybrids in our collections.

Come on Peter Croezen. We know you can do better, pump up your senile brains!! And that your reliable source friend is an enemy (*) of his family? like you Peter Croezen are? Oh,, that we all know well? Of course, you have such a long history of hating people, particularly those who shadow your meaningless life. Peter Croezen, your words describe you and your greedy intentions in the orchid business so well ? How bad you begrudge others success!! Let?s state it straight? Peter Croezen, a lousy orchid seller is in his desperate attempts to gather the coins his sorrowful work as gossip maker/spreader can?t attain. My advice to you Peter, devote that ?sharp and knowledgeable? mind of yours to something your soul is better reflected with? Try cacti!! (*) Enemy: A disgraceful word that only exists in souls full of hate. _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
