First Set of Runes?

Again, you were trying to say something was traditional when it was not. I'm not claiming that a sharpie and paper are traditional, so there's a difference. You call yourself a purist and say you see things more frankly than others and really, it just flows back into the whole point that you can't apply your views and circumstances to other people. How you do things in your path is all fine and good. I have no right to contest that and that's not what I'm trying to talk about. I'm talking about taking your views and saying that they're traditional and "better" like it's fact and not an opinion.

The attitude you have is elitist and that doesn't work for everyone. The original poster simply wanted advice on whether to buy or make runes since they may not actually continue with the practice. Would you have someone go to the trouble of your "purist" ways only to give the entire thing up anyway? That seems like it would cause more problems and efforts than it's worth.
