You kids had better start behaving, or else I'll have to start slapping a few of you around alittle.:grumpy:.
 
Str8Edg, you have made it quite clear that paying Peter was a very low priority for you. You're only concern was for yourself and your problems. You gave little to no consideration for Peter's financial situation. Once again, I am left with the impression that this is the way you will conduct yourself in the future. What would you have done if another of the knives you sold went missing?
 
Keith, don't needle him -- use a broad-bladed knife, so it really hurts when you twist it. He's already answered for all this, again and again, but evidently not enough to entertain the forum.

Maybe if he puts his apology and a dead dog on a YouTube video? I'll see if we can get the evening news to cover the train wreck, just as soon as we can push someone onto the tracks ...
 
Posts are crossing, but this does seem like a good time for everybody to shut up and wait to see if the debt gets paid. People are still arguing out of inertia, I think -- especially Str8Edg, but he's not the only one who's doing it. Maybe if we all pause for a bit we'll run out of inertia and realize what the current situation is.

As far as I'm concerned he's a day late and a dollar short. Until he is paid in full he hasn't answered for anything.
 
Perhaps if his apology wasn't bracketed by insults and snide remarks people would be more accepting of it.

All I did was point out that he was logged in twice this afternoon to deal with his sales threads while not responding here and he has used this as a reason to tell me that I suck and to call me a moron directly by name while also insulting everyone else who called him out on his improper behavior...

Interesting.

When Str8Edg doesn't answer, you criticize him. When he does answer, you criticize him for not answering sooner. When he publically sets up a payment plan, you criticize him for not doing so sooner. And when he explains his explanation? He gets :jerkit:

Str8Edg's mistake at this point is even reading this thread, instead of ignoring everyone but thefifth and sending him his money and apologies as soon as possible.

he's getting that type of response from me because of the way he addresses me:

how the hell do you expect me to respond????
 
A lot of this sounds like "he hit me back first".

He already waited too long to pay thefifth back. Slapping him around now that we may have some resolution isn't going to make him pay it back yesterday. Pointing out that this resolution comes late is beating a deceased equid.

nothing to do with "he hit me back first", whatever that means.....


i just stated some observations and asked a few questions he could not easily answer....then he started cursing and told me to stop preaching from my high horse.....


are you sure you've read all his posts??? and have you read all of mine ???


honestly, does it seem like i'm the one who needs an attitude adjustment in terms of doing business here on bladeforums????


i know he's a buddy of yours, but as a moderator, you should try to preserve your objectivity in this matter....



and by the way, why are you so focused on me and what i am saying??? shouldn't you be more focused on the forumite who has failed to pay back his debts, when he has had the last 8+ months to do so???

your focus on me is diverting attention from the real issue at hand: an unpaid debt.....
 
I received an offer from Str8Edg and have accepted it.

It looks like this chapter shall close soon. My thanks to all of you for your assistance with this matter. I would like to say that from the start Str8Edg seemed to be a straight up guy and the feedback here on BF also confirmed that. I am willing to believe that this was a calamity of errors that is being rectified as we speak

I did not intend for anyone to get Heated and draw the ire of the mods.

As I said this thread was started because I stopped getting responses from Str8Edg (that’s a bad form of communication) and saw his Buy/sell posts. So I began to get angry especially when I saw the WTB posts - it seems he was buying used and fixing them up to sell for a profit (understandable) but all I saw was WTB threads and all I got was no reply to my email.

Needless to say if I had known this I may have been willing to wait even longer.
But no communication/explanation did not sit well with me.

I believe he is a good man and I believe he will take care of this ASAP.

So let’s let this thread go off to nowhere and I will keep all you posted as to the results

Again my thanks

new, my response to you and anyone else with a convenient view from a high horse is I hope you always get to enjoy it's luxury. I don't live in a world of weekly paychecks so I don't expect anyone who does to understand what tourist seasons are all about. We make our money for the year in 2 season that last 3-4 months each. I don't deny that he deserves to be repaid; I'm still selling stuff off to meet basic needs. I didn't try to rip anyone off; I regret and am embarrassed by the whole thing. If you have never been in my shoes, I suggest you try them on before lecturing.

Rationalize things however you want, but your problems are YOUR problems, not your buyer's. You owed him the duty to get his product (or a refund) to him promptly. Failing that, the very, very least thing you could have done would be to provide accurate and timely communication to him so he could have a reasonable idea of what was going on. Instead, you ignored his attempts to obtain information and basically stonewalled him until things came to a head. And now, you claim to be regretful but show no signs of actual contrition whatsoever. Instead of handling this like a man, you lash out at those who find fault with your....er....rather uniquely passive aggressive response - ie, "yeah, I screwed up but how dare you point it out, and I'll fix things however and whenever I please." This is oddly similar to the manner in which my four year old daughter approaches life.

You, sir, are a person that I would never do business with under any circumstances.

Would you like to edit this before I decide you are questioning how I moderate this forum?
