Michael & List,

Taking the time to think before posting to the list is beneficial.
Mr. Blood's post is exactly how I feel. My name was not involved,
but as a serious collector it might as well have been.

So long to the 'Sahara Team', never did and never will ! ! !

Best regards,

Roman Jirasek

Subject: [meteorite-list] Response to the Pellissons


Mr. & Mr. Pellisson,
        I consider the situation the meteorite community is facing due
to your actions so sever I have given this 24 hours of thought before
responding. I did not want to "over react" or take unwarranted action.
I consulted with close friends on the list, asking for feedback, etc.
Finally, I find the following response modest, given the circumstances
you have created and which we now all face:
        I have been to you web site, sirs, from the link you provided in
your post to the list:
http://www.SaharaMet.com
>From the main page, I then clicked on "NWA
contraband" which took me to:
http://www.saharamet.com/meteorite/data/Sahara/Nwa.html
from which the following is a direct and exact quote:
--
"Smugglers, dealers, investors, all the people who buy, sell, trade and
publish documents about these meteorites want to conceal the truth. As long
as the collectors believe that unknown hunters wish to keep the locations of
their finds secret, that all these meteorites are good for science and a
good purchase, the business will go on! The plundering of North Africa, the
support to organized smuggling rings, the financing of terrorism..."
--
        Besides for impeaching pretty much everyone on the list in the
above statement, you have reportedly individually used the names of a good
many people for whom I hold deep respect not the least of whom include
Bernd Pauli, Art Jones and Jeff Grossman in an attempt to "prove" everyone
having anything to do with NWA meteorites - except yourselves, is
contributing to terrorists. While it is no secret I am strongly anti war, I
non the less passionately support the safety of people serving this
country and most certainly consider all terrorists the enemy of all
civilized humans. For you to claim the meteorite community supports
terrorists - for your personal ends is utterly reprehensible.
        The amount of potential damage resulting from your outrageous claim
is is yet to be seen, but is certainly incalculable in scope.
        Unless you immediately remove this atrocity from your site, to you I
say, a permanent "good day."
        Why anyone on this list would  have anything to do with you or your
business while you continue to host this on your site is beyond me entirely.
        As long as you maintain this wretched propaganda as part of your
site (or anywhere else) under no circumstances will I purchase from you or
speak to you or in any way whatsoever support any business conducted by
you. Remove that site and then I will listen to what you have to say. Until
then:
        If you post to this list, I will not respond or acknowledge your
post. If you show up in Tucson, I will not enter your room. If you show up
at my auction, I will have security remove you.
        Take down the site. Now.
        Good day, Michael Blood
PS: Anyone else care to let the Pellisons know how much business from them
they can expect as long as this atrocious portion of their site remains?
