Boy, talk about timing. I was out in the back yard last night taking a leak 'cause we don't have no indoor plumbing 'round these parts and I suddenly realized there was a big ol' bear stealin' the sunflower seeds out of my bird feeder. I yelled at it and tried to shoosh it away but all of a sudden it charged me! Boy, I can tell you I was plenty scared. Fortunatley, I had the forsight to be packin' my new Lean Mean Street. When that bear got within a couple of feet from me, for some reason it skidded to a stop. I thought, here's my chance, so I leapt on the bear, pulled out my Lean Mean Street, and plunged the blade deep into its eye. And WOULDN'T YA JUST KNOW IT, the damn choil hung up on his eye socket. Boy did I feel like an idiot. Fortunately, ol' blue woke up and started barking and scared the bejezus out of that bear and it took off running. Luckily, it must have ran into a tree or something 'cause the Lean Mean Street popped out and I still have it. Boy! I mean to tell ya, that was a close one!

BTW, here's a pic of that new LMS. I futzed around a bit with the edge but I guess I'll have to do something about that choil.

Wow, that pic of my LMS really sux on my computer here at work. It looks a lot better on my Dell Laptop at home. On my Dell monitor at work, it looks VERY VERY dark. At home, I can see the detail and natural color well.

Best place for a hatchet is buried in the tree. Or cutting said tree for fire wood. I guess I was like a dog with a bone, only when attacked I responded by defending myself. Silence in my country is a sure sign of guilt. I did not at first want to hear others who told me I was experiencing an everday experience at Bladeforums. I could accept daft posts from members (I was guilty of that as well) But attacks from the industry and moderators, Wow not a fair fight. I get e-mails even know here is an except from a couple.

"Wayne
I just reviewed the whole series of posts in response to your Talonite
Test. I am very ashamed of the behavior of some of the other forum
members(a.k.a-Hermanknives,Copis,samwereb,Hoodoo) They were very
disrespectful and were making unwarranted accusations toward you. Also I
was angered by their sterotypical comments about english people or
people from that area(you said you are Welsh or Walsh?...what does that
mean? what is their history?) I found your ideas regarding your knife
test very refreshing and interesting. The article I wrote bringing out
the way you were treated was rebuked by Hoodoo who said my language was
vituperative. Well, I just wrote him back and apologized for the
termnology I used but I still feel strongly about the intent of my
little speech.
Again Wayne I am sorry for how they treated you. They are adults but
acted so puerile, it's not even funny. I look foward to hearing from you
and reading many more of your posts in the future."

"General,

I am writing as a BladeForumite who has witnessed most if not all of the
bull**** that has surrounded your request to test knives on the Forums. Like
many others, I assume, I did not get involved in any of the relevant threads
because it would just add more fuel to the fire, and, IMO, it's best just to
let the whole issue die. (Ok, I did post to the thread in the Reviews forum,
but just as a joke with Lorena, and my post had nothing to do with the
subject of the thread) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I don't
see anything wrong with what you were doing. You were getting a knife, you
wanted to borrow some other knives to test it against, and you did receive
mostly favorable responses at first. It was clear to me that you were not
trying to get free knives, but were quite clear that you intended to return
them when testing was finished. I don't think you did anything at all to
warrant the attack that befell you. I think one person misunderstood you,
and others just saw it as a free shot. It's unfortunate that well-respected
forumites, and very talented knife makers, find it necessary to be such
*******s. For what it's worth, it's them, definitely not you, who come out
of this looking like idiots. Hopefully those threads will all just die
quickly on their own, and we can all get on to talking about knives again."

Lets let this go, ok? I offered the hand of frienship once and you refused. I can and did forgive. We all make mistakes, I did. Let the axe rest.

W.A.

Ah well I tried, i just don`t care any more.

I could show you many many more.

Bored with this now, totally pointless. Don`t bring this up again unless you have something new to say. Or better still use my e-mail instead.

You tried what?

Here's what I tried. I tried to be nice to you but I forgot who I was really dealing with. I promise it won't happen again. Trust me on that.

To bury the hatchet.

Like I said forgive and forget.

Oh you tried to be nice to me? Hows that? By not attacking me at every chance you get? I tip my hat in your direction for such unreserved kindness. Considering what you did, you think I am the one in the wrong? Still? Well well well. Your opinion, your view.

I respect even you. Not much, but as a fellow Knifeknut you deserve at least that much.

I will not grovel like a whipped dog. I found many of the comments made by you hurtful and without any merrit or simple truth. If I had done what you did, I would have appologised. I do not want your appology, a man would have given it already.

You said you were ashamed by some of your comments, and were sorry that other members saw them, you made it clear the appology did not apply to me. Childish behaviour.

Stay out of my face and I will respond in kind.

How? By posting private emails by your "fans" supporting you in an issue that is long dead? Not only was it pathetic, it's a funny way to bury the hatchet.

Sorry General but you must be hallucinating. I made no such statements. If you're gonna be a crybaby, at least get your facts straight.
