It's sad to realize that anyone could be phishing around various forums and excluding certain input from anyone that could bring an opinion that evidently does not say what he wants to hear. Everyone in here was nothing but nice. I think it's fine to raise suspicion and call someone out when it's warranted. I felt stupid for being so supportive, and then as this evolved I got really miffed by the apparent manipulation. I shouldn't be surprised, but I was.
Even the bead world has a creepy underbelly, and there are plenty of beads out there made to look old, plenty of copies- some really good- to fool the less experienced, and plenty of Sellers that deliberately mislabel and way overprice beads and strands. I don't have a problem with someone using new Chinese chevrons in a necklace design to save money, so long as they are labeled as such.
Thanks for the extra diligence and information. I will stop cussing now! Well I'll try..
