So here is how its going to work now. The rules are still the same however you need to submit your photos to me via email. To find my email address just click on the link in my sig that takes you to my personal website and from there find the contact button. In case your wondering I don't post my email address on forums as it will get harvested by the spambots. I will post all the submissions in a seperate thread that will be closed and locked. In yet another thread you will be able to comment on the KOI photos, yes the KOI photos anything off topic will be deleted.
Jim,
Thanks for trying to do something fun and give us an excuse to sit a look at koi when we are supposed to be working. Will e-mail you my mutt picture. Can I get Ray Charles for a judge to I can have a chance - JK. I just want the fun of participating.

Bill

This Sanke purchased from Mystic Koi of summer 2004, and it was 14 inches long. I took the pictures today, and the fish measure 22 inches long.

Well, as you say Tony...that business is between Ken and myself and nobody else. People can conjecture all they want, but there's nothing devious to be found. Sometimes I think that certain people have too much time on their hands.

Aquitori, that's funny! you also voted for the koi coach in post #31. funny no one goes after you. you voted for the koi coach so you must disrespect Ken. it's all about what we think being said and not what's said, isn't it. Great deals? Is that something anyone who walks in with the money and walk out with the products? Your posting seem to imply that the great deals were for one individual but the fact is that it's for everyone in public, right? What I am saying is that you need to be more careful in what you wrote to prevent the readers from further misunderstanding. Of course, it's your own mind and you have control of what you want to say but be careful because another post stated that readers have must have right to say something here. I guess some people here have the rights to say whatever they like while others need approval for saying anything.

I read all posts in this thread twice and some posts more than 5 times and seems to me that one person tried to explain and put things in perspective by making a separation rather than attacking anyone. When things are put in perspective to help readers understand better, it doesn't constitute an attack but I can see why some get emotional and jump the gun on forming their conclusion regardless of what stated. It's a shame we still live in a culture of intolerant. how about give someone with some benefits of the doubt??? oh... the ego thing.....

What's with the yellow card? Is that the invisible duct tape on the mouth so others can lame blasts away with their thoughts? It's such comical to see people with such power trip. There were worst situtions before without ever being slap on the wrists e.g. a chronic abusive attitude from koicop to Eric until he was driven out of this board is a good example. Maybe koicop has the rights to say whatever he likes with the approval from the people who run this board. How about Cody told Luke to shut his mouth in another thread? I am sure the policeman has his reasons. I just hope that he doesn't make things up as he goes along. What did I just win? a yellow card or a red card? someone put it accurately.... pathetic!!!

Ken,
I think what the board is implying is that whatever transaction ENKOI have between KOI-BITO is none of our concern. We as members of this board should not get into their private transaction and deals. It's all behind the curtain. We should'nt talk about anyone's private transaction. We don't have the right to interfere with what goes on between KB and Eastern. We being able to post on this board is a privilege and not a right. I don't know if they will award you with anything. Chill Man
Michael

What's wrong with the saying koi coach? Did I disrespect Ken by suggesting Dick Benbow?
I hope not, but it is understandable since both men are more than capable of judging either way. It seems you have the problem with the suggestion of Dick B. Now if I hurt Steve's feelings with what I say then it should be taken up with me, not the dealer or anyone else...I know Steve and he knows me, for god sake with work for the same company....

If you think people are treated unfairly then I suggest the moderator give me a red card for saying the things I said and I will do my time. I have been banned before and it doesnt bother me one bit.

You've won nothing and I don't need to explain myself to you. Intolerence? You have got to be kidding me?!?!?! Power trip?!? WOW you need to get out more. If you have a problem with me I suggest you use the pm feature to complain to me or perhaps Brian.

Hello Ken and Welcome to Koi-Bito . . .

Now that you've made some friends here, why don't you fill out your profile and tell us a little bit about yourself.

I don't know what's going on here but this was supposed to be a fun, learning experience. Not a free for all.

Some of ya'll need to get a life and rein in your egos. You're not all that.

Can we please start acting like adults and get back to having fun?
