Censorship?

[spyderknut]

Why have several recent "Forum knife" threads been deleted recently?

I understand we are in Sal's living room here. I understand that previous forum knives have turned out to be unprofitable and that Spyderco should be reluctant to proceed with another Forum project. Much of the discussion, however was of how to build a Forum knife with little risk to Spyderco. There have been at least 4 recent threads on the subject in the past weed and all have been deleted.

Are we being censored or are those who initiate these discussions screwing with us?

[Zwaplat]

Nope, it was Vincent who decided to delete them. There is a thread on this matter in the Spyder forum, but it's possible it has been deleted too.
I'm beginning to understand why Vincent is getting so much, er... *youknowwhat*.

[spyderknut]

It sure is irritating to put thought and effort into a topic and have someone just erase it.

[TazKristi]

Spyderknut,
I deleted one thread regarding the disappearance of the original threads about a Forum knife. It was deleted due to the non-productive path that the thread had taken as well as profanity.

The original threads were not deleted by us, nor would they be. We welcome the open discussion so long as it is done in a manner that is consistent with our goals for this forum.

We don't believe in censorship, but we can't allow name-calling and offensive behavior.

I hope I was able to clear this up for you. Feel free to discuss a Forum knife. I can't promise anything in terms of it becoming a reality, but we certainly will not stop you from discussing it.

Have a great weekend!

Kristi

[spyderknut]

Thanks Kristi.

even worse spending time on somthing and they have no body even take part in it.

I wouldn't call 24 hours exactly long, you know. I, for instance, didn't have internet acces, or I would've voted.

[Zwaplat]

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.

I wouldn't mind having a Jester as forum knife.

[spyderknut]

even worse spending time on somthing and they have no body even take part in it.

I took part in each of these threads and many others did too.

We all have started threads that go no where. They just drift off to distant pages. That's ok.

When you delete your thread you are not only negating your own ideas but also those of others. It is inconsiderate. Not everyone will agree with you. Not everyone will participate right away. Some of us like to let ideas stew for a while.

[Gerard Breuker]

IMO deleting a thread is a waste of the time and effort of those that participated in that thread. In general it will diminish participation and in particular the disappearance of forum knife threads will diminish interest.

[anorexicpillow]

i second that fore i would like to hear other peoples ideas on religion aslong as they dont push their **** on me or start a flame war im fine with it :p

[spyderknut]

Anyway, I started a new forum knife thread.

I don't engage in flame wars.

I won't delete, ignore or discount the ideas of others.

I don't expect Sal, Spyderco or fellow forumites to make a decision in less than a weeks time.

Every time someone disagrees with Vincent he acts like a child in the playground and "takes his marbles and goes home" by deleting the thread he started. He insults the people who have taken the time to thoughtfully respond by deleting them, and then, after he removes the evidence, he insults members personally in other posts.

He continues to insult this Forum and it's members with impunity. How many contributing members have been called "dumb" "stupid" "crybaby" or worse? How many has he tried to verbally "bully" How long do we have to put up with this?

For some reason I keep seeing this show up in this thread:

This message is hidden because Vincent is on your ignore list.

[Zwaplat]

It only shows how far you can push people that they don't even want to argue with you anymore. I doubt there are many people on 4 s ter's ignore list...

[vass]

4 s ter, you seem to know much more about the wants and needs of the people who want a forum knife.

so I put it in your hands.

so go do a better job.


Btw

I dont care if not 1 person on this forum respects me
I dont care if not 1 person on this forum likes me
I dont care if not 1 person on this forum agrees with me
I dont care if not 1 person on this forum disagrees with me.


I am the same exact person i was in febuary. The only thing that has changed is that I dont go off on people any more.

Like I said I could care less if I get any approval from anybody. Im not here for that.



I also get a ton of gratification on how you davec and Vass,


cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry
winnie only you are crying as far as i can see !
but you are young and you will get over it !
best wishes for a speedy recovery !

vass

[spyderknut]

This is getting to be counterproductive. Let's please move on and talk about knives. ;)

[WOTANSON1]

I love the ignore feature......pure bliss.

[Vincent]

winnie only you are crying as far as i can see !
but you are young and you will get over it !
best wishes for a speedy recovery !

vass

Winnie is special, a fat retarded pos who makes me ill. The most pathetic part is many choose to humor his retarded jibbering. I can't wait to read more of his filth like "What should I insert in my rectum next?" Gah gah.

you live so close to me.

[davec]

BTW, don't blame me for retorting. Fat Winnie is on my ignore list but since people chose to use quotes I saw his retarded jibbering again.

P.S. Perikon is Italian for homosexual. :)

[davec]

I used to really enjoy coming to this place just to share in the camaraderie. The fact that a bully and a hatemonger like fat Winnie continues to lurk her with impunity makes me really angry. It's a sad day when vile creatures like Winnie can spread their hate with impunity. The most pathetic part is many choose to pat him on his misshapen head hoping to tame the pockmarked toad.

winnie !

Lots of different Forum names - but only 2 people (they just can't decide who they really want to be when they grow up)

Would You Guys Please Stop This Thread Right Now!

Nobody Is Acting Like An Adult.

Can We Please Discuss Things In A Friendly Manner!

heh you too!! I don't know why :D :D

If we do not feed the troll, it will WITHER AND DIE.

[LONE WOLF]

The worlds shortest books

Note this is not meant to be mean, just a little observant humor :p .

Spydernut, what was your question again?? :confused:

but you should mention the fact that the book me and davec wrote was
about you and your girlfriend winnnie.

"more of the same observant humor"

[spyderknut]

Spydernut, what was your question again?? :confused:

It was answered long ago, LOL.

Guys, let's please stop the personal attacks and rebuttals and move on.

That is "please" twice.

[vass]

Vass in one post you state that I am young and that I will grow up.

I am 20.

so you must be prettyt much older than I am.

Then the the sharpmaker test you say that you go and get your mother.

so if ur 30-40 and still living home with mom, their may be somthing wrong here.
winnie !
my mom lives about 10-15 minutes away from me "walking distance "
and you are a momma´s boy that cry´s a lot on this forum,
but then again you will grow up some day and you will thank me
and other members on this forum for being your substitute parents.
you should also tell your mom thank´s for giving birth to you .
dont forget your mom had a few option´s !
steelhangers you know !

[Zwaplat]

Oh, get a grip on yourself and grow up, all of you. How can one enjoy himself on a forum if a few people always hijack the threads to revive their petty conflicts ?

[Gerard Breuker]

Spyderknut,

This thread is screaming
"Delete, Delete, Delete."

Growing up seems too difficult for some around here.

[davec]

Well if Winnie was banned, it'd make things a lot more pleasant. He has been banned multiple times but just comes back like an infection that won't go away. I guess living without any real friends makes him lonely. I feel kinda bad for him sometimes.

If you keep giving him attention, he'll just go on.
Feeding. Trolls. You know.

You're right my friend, I'll go back to lurk mode. ;)

Having too much fun playing with my new Salsa.

Right you are Mr. Brueker! Also if you listen REAL good...shhhh!...ya hear that? Listen...

I think it's the sound of Joyce tapping her fingernails on her desk, shaking her head as she's reading all of this! :mad: :( :mad:

Er...Spyderknut...to repeat what Silvercall said, "What was your question again?" :p

God bless :spyder:

[chinook]

Ya know its hard for anyone to enter into this 'discussion' of a forum model (I assume that was the original source for this BS) Noone, well most people, don't want to be put down for their ideas or have them deleted or pre-empted by some petty personal wars.

If everyone has finished getting their little 'shots' in on this, can we get on with a mature exchange of ideas. If not then this subject is probably dead and no forum model will result from discord.
