It's Pohan Leu.
Thanks, Po. Apparently not everyone is as big a jerk as I can be.![]()
While it is quite a range of emotions Bako has shown within a week, he's still certainly entitled to his opinion.
For whatever reason he felt he was wronged and called out Po. Clearly Po being Po made another customer extremely happy. Just let it be. Isn't it better he came back and said that everything was made right than saying nothing at all?
Another testament to fine customer service by a fantastic maker.

It's a real stretch to read that and see it as some type of apology.
I think in general, and not just Bako, we need to realize that this is an open forum and when we call out a maker, who's livelihood depends a lot on the court of public opinion, not only in his/her work but charachter, it becomes etched into any search done on the said maker....
That's just how search engines work.
With that in mind, there needs to be more done in private to fix the issue, or it needs to stay on FB or instagram, or (insert here) Dragging it onto this forum, before you have exhausted all options is a mistake in my opinion, and never works out well for the OP.
If you go back and read that original post again, it's very clear what happened, who was at fault, and what a non-issue the whole thing really was...
