ok you jerks win

[knifepunk]

fine if you want me to go so bad i will.



bye jerks

[knifepunk]

but i dont see why you all want me to go so bad. i havent done nothing . im here to talk about spyderco's. just like everyone else.

I don't want you to go! I find normal for anyone to express his oppinions. The problem is that most of us are spydienuts and expect that everyone will say only good things about their mutual hobby. I don't think that's an efficient attitude, but you see, it's not about what you are saying, but the way you are saying. Try not to offend and you'll get for sure more audience. I also have some critics to make, and I will, without being worried that anyone would try to banish me.
BTW: Take a look at The Raptor, and tell me what you think. I am particulary interested in your oppinion, as you are an incisive guy. Hope I'll keep on seeing you at the forums.

yea i saw the raptor its bad A$$ lookin. i would for sure buy it.

Question....
"but i dont see why you all want me to go so bad. i havent done nothing . im here to talk about spyderco's. just like everyone else. "

Answer....
"i totally understand why other countries hate the US so much.. cuz ur all a bunch of morons. i made a simple statement about spyderco and all u start crying and getting all defensive. So pathetic. i hope they attack again. maybe ill join them. "

[knifepunk]

yea i know i was mad when i said that. to many meanys

[chinook]

Then why not take some responsibility for your reception here? Stop calling everyone "jerks" "morons" 'meanies"

These people have been getting along pretty well for over a year with some differences of opinion and even some temper tantrums and bad feelings. Butt if there is no respect shown, there is none given in return.

Try typing out your response then waiting a couple hours, or even overnight if there is anger in it. If you are still as angry in the morning, then reconsider the wording or phrasing, and go ahead and post.

These people can get every bit as angry as you, and are here because they love their Spydercos. They aren't perfect, butt then neither are we.

Welcome, if you can tone it down and respect others. Or goodbye and good luck if you can't.

Good words, Chinook. Hate to lose a disenting voice over a civility issue. Let’s hope for the best and continue keeping things real, sharp (apologies to S&S), and civil here. Post on, my sharp edged brethren!!


Stay safe! Stay sharp!

The way I see it, KnifePunk, is simple. This forum is primarily <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, though other knives are sometimes expressed. While dissenting opinions aren't bad by nature, saying that a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> is a piece of fecal matter is surely going to offend some of those here.

Take a little time, and offer a solution to what you see as a problem. For example, if I were to say that my Endura tip broke and that all <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s and <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>fans were bad by nature, I wouldn't be surprised to see myself flamed. However, I could take the same knife problem and ask for advice, and things go much better.

Just relax, enjoy the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s. Always remember this, though. People here can't tell when you are joking or being sarcastic. Often, being clear is the best route.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
