pmel018 said:Hmm.... when I first posted a link to this thread on BB it was with the intent to warn those considering placing an order with Allan Blade, nothing more nothing less. If the moderators on BB saw fit to react the way they did, then I guess it's their problem. The sycophantic reaction to my action amazed and saddened me as I had, up to that point, enjoyed my interactions on BB and as such I considered posting the link as a non-threatening act. If anyone cares to look at the original post they will see that I was deliberately noncomittal simply suggesting anyone interested have a look. I was not expecting this to be fought out on BF and stretch out to 24 pages. I have also followed the thread on BB and find today 2 more people asking about undelivered knives, prepaid of course.

Thanks for the clarification.Andy_L said:It was meant as a joke.
SharpByCoop said:(Thanks Cougar!) ...and so Keith, as you are one of the champions of the cause here, I need to ask: Are you going to simply BTTT this forever or do you really want to do something about it?
I made a valid suggestion and got three respondents who are willing to make this go away and help in the process. Please join us. If you aren't willing, then explain why.
My point is fairly clear. BTTT is NOT informing people or doing any good. Ironically, at this stage, it is working against us.

manofthewood said:What people have semed to miss out on is the idea that by giving allan business he may be able to pay others off, a long shot i agree, but when options are limited i think this is worth a go, and probably better than reverting to name calling and general bad feeling towards each other...
Keith Montgomery said:In an email that Allan recently sent me he stated that he was selling all the knives he could make. Even so, Joe has not been paid. Allan selling knives has not lead to Joe getting his money.
If Joe changes his mind I will give what I can in support, but I have to tell you, it irks me to pay Allan's debts for him.
