Dear Mr Parhad
I am a kind of person who does not get involve in any kind of argument specificly with Assyrians because once I was insulted by some idiots and was called Moslem in a bad manner just becuase my father is a moslem but he has spent most of his life with Assyrians and never in his life has discouraged my mother from going to the church and be with her Assyrian reletives and friends,
I enjoy your Forum and learn a lot more about Assyrians now I feel realy Disoppointed and sad to see unnesessary arguments between you and Shapira I recognized him thru his discriptions because I know of him thru some of his reletives and I have lots of respect for you and your Art unfortunatly I am not aware if you have inexpensive Assyrian Art matching my budget because I am new in this country and also a student.
how ever I have respect for Shpira too.(that is not his name so I can not call him Mr. sorry about)may be you should know once An Assyrian had bouth an expecieve Bronze figure from you and lately financially
he was in trouble and he wanted to sell your Art to some non Assyrian for not even half of what he paid for
when Shapira was told by his cousin and somehow my reletive , Shapira felt so bad about him he paid more money for it. but what makes me so proud of him later he sent the Art back to the Guy and told his cousin to be always nice to someone rich who goes broke , he is a gentleman and loves his church and his bishop now you know how I feel about both of you , so please ignore and do not write back to him may one day you two become great friends
thankyou
I hope Dear jeff and Sam will respect my wish
