We can't believe what's going on at BCN.  BCN is a chat forum for those interested in "collectible" beads.  It should be fun.  Sadly, the BCN people have adopted some kind of Guru who is too insecure to cope with any kind of debate.  So along comes N. with a post on some kind of scroll weights -- not beads really -- with questions and comments.  The Guru takes exception, followed by a challenge from N.  It all leads to insecure private exchanges among the BCN people, the Guru, and N.  What a joke!  N. is threatened with being blocked and is forced to apologize to the Guru.

Watch BCN return to obscurity as people get tired of playing Show-and-Tell with the same beads over and over again.  There are few issues in the bead world and if discussion and debate are stifled because some Guru has to have the last word, right or wrong, the forum is in real trouble.
