James Reilly Refers to Me as Impish Hot Air?
I’m called Impish Hot Air by this guy, but maybe he needs to look in the mirror?
Not sure why you are dragging me into this argument ? And although I don’t like to pick on kids or those with diminished capacity, you, my friend, do not have the brains the Good Lord gave to a Hersey bar.
So with your ‘bag full of hammers’ as your only thinking organ, I would like to correct your logic;
1) if Steve C and I are not good for the hobby, I would suggest that you, the Impish Hot Air and the Dark Lord are even worse
2) You are NOT in the koi hobby! At least the Impish Hot Air was at one point. And the Dark Lord is still on the outside of the hobby looking it. That is what all the hostility is about to begin with.
I can buy a Race Car and drive it but that does not make me a race car driver. It is the detail of the description that defines the words.
Personally, I have no problem with the garden pond hobby or the water garden hobby. I have no problem with beanie baby collecting or children’s beauty show pageants. Live and let live. But these are not MY interests.
So when a guy like yourself comes around with his beanie babies, shallow water garden and his kid’s tiara and tells me I must admit him into my hobby as a qualified and knowlegable member, you need to understand my reaction. Too many good people have spent too many years to vet and create a knowledge base in this speciality hobby to entertain the silliness of your point of view. It’s really that simple. So you go and have a nice day, and please, work on those anger issues.
As regards the President’s award, it is a social award like the friendship award. A non-judge picks a fish they like or the fish of a person they like. Typically these awards go to a fish that has not received any other awards or a major award by the judges. You can interpret the rest any way you like.

I ‘herd it through the grape vine, how much longer will you be mine’ is a refrain that could easily be sung by that declining board founder.
I have to chuckle when I see the postings. As the content degenerates into conversations about anthropomorphistic observations, has anyone caught on yet to the mix of the ‘community members’? I’d estimate that conservatively 40 % of members there are trades people cruising for prospects! I mean, if I was trying to sell insurance I would not go to an Insurance convention?! LOls
So we are left with the dark lord posting pictures ad nausium of the same fish and same pond, while the multitudes of small businessmen are trying to charm the few remaining folks left who by definition are water gardeners to begin with ?! Honestly, You can’t make this stuff up?!
