All I did was say that the way most of do ours is not the way he does and it's not necessary. Then he came back and used very derogatory words to describe what I feel is a very nice looking job that cost me only a few dollars for the plaque, and not $150 that he charges on his website. His work is very good and I said so in my followup post, but as I stated earlier, I like a more natural appearing fan than one like his that is combed to perfection with each feather postioned like it was synthetic and unnatural. Everybody to his own, but I didn't see anyone come on this thread and say they did their birds like he does and other's descriptions of how they do theirs was exactly as I mentioned that I do mine.
