Now Bernd you're really surprising me, you as a person of keen intellect.

We had here and frequently have the revely of the Hupes, Farmer, Bessey, yip
and also Matteo et.al. with sometimes unpicturesque expressions and boring
recurrent litanies,

but don't you see, that this accusations of that Pellisons have a
fundamentally different quality?

Read their pages, about NWAs and terrorism. Can you find there any hard
proof or even only a hint which could manifest their allegations? I can't.

I'm really not interested in the motives, what those person intend with this
tirades and unbacked claims, although it is quite obvious,
but what are they doing?

They use the current discourses and especially the paranoia with the islamic
terrorism (which seems to be most wide spread in USA, where the most and
wealthiest collectors by the way are living) to discredit and to ruin their
possible competitors as Fectay&Bidet, Hupes, Bessey, Farmer, Franco, Ralew,
Hmani, Habibi, Cimala, .... and all, who ever got a NWA in their fingers.

This is the evident intention, not even very far behind the curtains -
and, that what might be more important for you, they imply with this
webpage,
and this directly in the center on the stage,

that you, Bernd Pauli, who possesses at least one NWA not bought from them,
maintained with the purchases of those stones murderous, inhuman terrorism.

(In my eyes a somewhat impolite way to speak about his own clients).

This is the quality of their statements. Read it by your own.
You may take it for the usual rants between jealous dealers,
I for my own am Martin Altmann and a collector
and certainly not in a need nor in the mood
to be discredited and libelled by such persons with low attitude and of
doubtfull character
to have supported criminals in owning a NWA meteorite.

You may going on buying from those persons,
I for my part , if I won't find here a personal apology to me here on the
list or a proof for their statements, will recommend to the 500+ collectors,
whit whom I traded and dealt meteorites until know, to avoid to buy from the
Pellisons.

And so should anyone from this list do in my eyes, as we had this issue
several months before on that list here and since then, those subjects were
not able to add any proof to their website nor took it offline.

My opinion.
Martin

PS: Am I allowed too, Bernd, to call you from now an a supporter of
terrorism?
