Is it my imagination, or have a few topics been removed recently, particularly one on differences of opinion on knowledge / expertise / methodology when dealing with leather cleaning and restoration.
I know it had become like a " points scoring contest " but a lot of useful information was forthcoming ( which tends to be the way in vigorous debate )
What was most noticeable was apparent contradictions in the usual " advice "
A similar debate has taken place on another forum between the same people with the general consensus falling in favour of the gentleman from the West of Canada.
Following such an exchange it seems to me that " evidence " is needed to give credence to argument and it would be excellent if this could be provided without the personalities ruining what could be enlightening information for the members of this board
I don't want the people involved to " come out fighting " but by exchanging views in an honest and open way everyone benefits.
I'm well aware of the desire to " sell product " but it's perfectly possible to discuss and enlighten without pushing your own product.
Two people who do this very well are John Kelly and Ed Valentine who are excellent communicators, who can give technical expertise / opinions without the hard sell
JUST EXPRESSING MY OPINION ...NOT TAKING SIDES
Have a good weekend everyone
