Bark River

[Jdottinger]

Issues with Mike have been going back decades according to some people on here. It’s all too common on BF to see a thread about him. 2 camps of Bark River owners. The ones that gleefully defend him and the ones that have been slighted by him or his actions. Welcome to the latter. If you bought 5 knives from him you must’ve been a fan until he denied you a service on a Saturday and was rude. This thread will be forgotten in a week or 2 and Mikes business won’t suffer a bit.

With that being said, I’ve never owned a BRK and have no desire to based on the stuff I’ve read through the years.

I have no complaints about the knives. Never said I did. I was indeed a fan. I now have doubts and wouldn't ask that a$$hole for any service if i did have an issue. I'll be taking the pile to a local dealer for trade value on literally anything else of near value.

My point was that these threads have been going on for years. Happy BRK owners defend him until they deal with the bs. Would you have defended BRK before this incredible personal attack? A simple search here would’ve saved you from this ordeal. People either turn a blind eye because they’re happy with what they received or they just don’t value others input/didn’t research the brand or owner. You want your story heard, good, I like seeing peoples experiences.

The writing was on the wall. Get in line with the others that have been scorned and forgotten about. He still got your money, hopefully you can recoup most of what you’ve spent. No amount of screeching here will do you good, other than letting off steam. What did you learn from the dozens of threads here about the crap from BRK/Stewart? Oh wait, you clearly didn’t search here.

The number of fanboys on the FB pages talking shit are hilarious. And I can't respond because some spineless ****sucker on the BRB page reported me and I caught a 48 hr ban. Oh well.
I'd like to thank all the guys that reached out to me on PM, you know who you are. No I won't say who you are. There's a lot of good people over there including an employee.
And there's already enough village idiots over there with their pitchforks and torches after me I don't want to see anyone get treated the way I was. Apparently there's a few here too that have his ball scent on their chin. Don't care. It's becoming PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that I'm not the only one that cant stand that mfr. If you want to spend your money there, you do you. As for me, nope. And I'm spreading this manure far and wide and don't give a single F if you don't like it.

^ I'm at this point in this thread. What I want to know is:
WTF is a supposedly grown man doing spending so much of his valuable free time on Facebook, engaging in such juvenile back and forth behavior with internet stranger's on a weekend??? I just guess this is where/what our society has devolved into. A bunch of supposedly grown men, acting like weepy Va_____'s. I mean to you even get outside in the rugged outdoors, and use these knives like they're intended to be used...or just whine about life and stupid internet BS like this?? GMAFB!

And then you've got these younger new school internet 64k post whore addicts (immature boys who think/act like they're grown men that they so desperately want to be). Boys who live their entire lives wasted away key stroking a bunch of nonstop nonsense on the internet every second of every singe day, all jacked up on who know's what type of Pharmaceuticals (Ritalin), and can't ever seem to take 1 second, to just SHUT. THE. F*$K, UP.

It sure is entertaining though, and gives me keen profound perspective (regarding technology).....and really makes me glad that I went to a BBQ at the beach and spent 6 hours outside with friends socializing & surfing the beach. Really looking forward to reading the back half of more of this 3 page drama-fest.

Can you hold off on providing feedback until Monday, It's Sunday. Please respect the day of rest and not make us carry your emotional baggage until a workday.

^ This!
Spends his entire freaking weekend all fired up up such stupid trivial BS wasting so much valuable time & energy.

You are correct. I should have searched here first.

No where did I request "service on a Saturday." That's all him being an unhinged POS.

Nobody would have to interpret whether it was an attack or not, or whether he was an asshole or not if he simply replied something like this;

“Thank for your email, we will be more than happy to help you when we open Monday as we are closed on the weekends. Thank you for your business and support.”

It doesn’t take much effort at all to reply this way

I agree, there’s a difference from being too touchy and not allowing someone to verbally bitch slap you. I let things go that aren’t a big deal but I stand up for myself and call out an asshole when someone is being an asshole, especially when I’m buying their products and supporting their business.

This.

 

[JessC]

I don't know what's worse. You fan boys lined up for Mike's baby gravy or the surfer boy from San Diego wanting to know if I "go out in the wilderness and use them."

GTFOH you city fk. I LIVE in the wilderness! That's just gold all around. Now STFU adults are speaking.
