Interesting PDF On The Griquatown Tokens (Fantasy Coins)

Hi Karel

I don't see the relevance of your post. This is not the first time I have set this trap when I hear through my very big grapevine that someone is plagiarizing my research.

The trap was set and Nortje walked right into it plagiarizing from a cut and paste from my website and then giving a different source as his reference in the appendix.

Not good.

It interests me that you still do not acknowledge the facts that:

a) Pierre Henri Nortje's award winning "research" is fatally flawed and that some of the sources he gives in the appendix are false. This reflects very badly on the National Numismatic Society and their motives in giving this flawed award.

b) not one Griquatown token ever circulated

As I said before I stand by my research. If you have doubts it's a free country go do your own research and then, if you have reason, challenge my research. This is my last response to your repetitive posts about the page Pierre Henri plagiarised.

--------------------------------------

With regard to the holed Griquatown token surely you are not suggesting that the extensive wear was because it circulated widely over a long period of time? Clearly it never did - even Pierre Henri in his flawed paper agrees with me about this. So taking out that option and seeing that the reason it was holed was so that the person holding it could place it on a necklace with his beads it is hardly presumptive to suggest that it was only ever worn as jewellery.

What is your real name?

Is it Nortje?

While you keep on demanding I answer your questions you never answer mine.

I told you the fact that Nortje plagiarizing my website and giving other references is proven yet you never respond to my questions. You do not dispute that Nortje plagiarized (ie cut and paste) from my website - yet gave his references as being from Schoeman's book.

I knew about Nortje's plagiarized research and his "cut and paste" not long after he released his flawed PDF but "kept my powder dry". The hole he has dug is too deep to climb out of and the controlling members of the National Numismatic Society committee (Wilson and Hern) who have held their positions for 30 years and have vested interests should resign and let fresh blood in.

This is the last time I respond to you in future unless have a question about my research based on research you do.

"Karel"

My responses above confirm that you refuse to respond to the questions I ask you.

I do not keep diary notes of when I laid a trap in the past but I did recently for Nortje and he walked right into it.. then claimed to be the expert on this subject (which he is not)

You don't have to apologise because (whoever you are or represent) is unclear while I have been quite open about my identity.

I think that speaks volumes. You are a coward.

I am not going to engage any further discussion with someone who hides behind the name "Karel"

For the record this is the only thread that newly joined "Karel" has engaged in apart from attacking my comments about Morgan Carroll's new South African coin catalogue

Thank you Fuzzy

"Karel" (Pierre Henri Nortje)

I believe the moderator had warned you earlier about keeping things civil.

Let the posts above speak for themselves.

Like a bad penny, Mr Balson's lie keeps on popping up. He has now also repeated his lie about the Griquatown discussion on another forum. I keep on asking myself why he would continue lying despite being proven wrong. Any researcher worth his salt would not lie, and when given the facts would acknowledge his mistake. Maybe Mr Balson the theorist, with all his conspiracies, is now starting to show his true colors.

The fact that only two of you are participating in this thread, speaks to its relevance... we're done here...
