Blade Forums = Mob Rule

Not open for further replies.
Having been a super mod on a vBulletin forum, I'll confirm what knarfeng stated - those changes could not have been made by a mod. If the OP isn't FOS (he just stopped using that account because of the grief he was getting), there are a couple of possibilities:
He could have changed the password and email, and mistyped something in the process; or
He pissed off somebody enough for them to hack his account and make the changes to screw with him.
 
Wow! What a bunch of paranoid misguided bs. He joins a forum that is firmly against his counterfeiting/cloning ways and his feelings get hurt when he catches flack for such a thing. Then, rather than thinking this through logically and realizing he should just log out and go away he opens another account with a troll username and continues to cry about his hurt feels. Further, he blames the mods and the rest of the community for said hurt feels. Clearly he glossed over the "clones hurt this hobby" part of the rules. Not sure what is acceptable where the Op is from but here personal responsibility is huge. Don't like the rules or the mods or the community? Go find another one rather than just piss and moan. There are places that love the garbage you are into. We don't need you here.

Honestly he could buy, sell, and own Ganzos for all I care, but it looks like the OP went looking to get offended and was surprised when he was successful.
 
AFAIK, there's nothing wrong with the @Neomentat account. Last activity shows Nov 3 2016, no bans listed, not showing it's waiting for email confirmation. I'm the only one who has power to change profile details and other than custom user titles on idiots, I don't do that without validating the person via billing information.

You are proving Ganzofan's point. Conform to the majority or else.

By your current screen name, you are not only supporting what Ganzo does but also kind of advertising/advocating for it every time you post. That is where people have a problem.

Its also no one's business what knife someone else buys with his own money. Too many people are reliving their hall monitor days, when they should be butting out before someone starts telling them how to live. The largely libertarian world view that gun and knife guys often have seems to fly out the window when they want to start telling everyone else how to live.
 
Life is always mob rule.

On this site there is a particular rule regarding fake knives in the exchange that colours the entire place.

This particular poster has the demeanor of someone who comes to a house party and takes a big dump in the middle of the kitchen and then doubles down and demands to be praised for his unconventional views on toilet use. His hard and fast opinion that it's the host's fault for the mess because they put out a big spread that didn't agree with his digestion is not a valid reason. And further his refusal to own his mess is no one''s fault but his own. Thinking that there's a conspiracy in the staff for not defending him is laughable.

The simplest explanation is that he's confused the passwords and user names of his multiple accounts and locked himself out.

I don't think anyone is telling him what to do. But he hasn't a right to come here and demand everyone else approve of what he does.

This is just confused. In an effort to avoid the "no politics" rules, I won't tell you that the "Libertarian world view" is all about telling other people to be Libertarians ie. how to live.

Regardless of that nonsense, what we do here is TALK about knives. Every aspect of knives and knife collecting. We take it to obsessive levels, because it is the entire focus of the conversations here. If you don't want to hear people's opinions on your knives, don't join a forum about knives. To join a knife forum and expect no differeing opinions is the depths of stupidity.
 
I have never seen anyone try to tell the OP what to buy or what not to ... I have seen the OP try to tell the community that they shouldn't spend money on knives that he can buy the same thing for $10.00 ... and trying to tell the community that $10.00 is as good quality as the orginal.

Well the sadest part of it all is how the OP just doesn't get these knife makers and designer spend alot of time to come up new ideas and spend lots of time and money to develope a high quality product.

And he seems to think its ok to not only take credit for a knives design which is someone elses ... but yet for someone to profit off the theft of an idea or design.

These companies invest alot of money into doing it the right way ... and individual makers invest hours and hours of hard work and their own money to earn a living at this ... and somehow the OP can't understand what is wrong about clones fakes or as he puts it a homage to certain knives.

And if he his feelings get hurt for people standing up for what's right ... then in this instance I'm all for him getting butt hurt ...the designers and makers and even big companies deserve better then low lifes trying to profit and take credit for others work.

And he encourages people to buy these knives and sadly some new people getting into knives fall into it and buy something expecting a great knife and end up with a piece of cheap garbage and then because they don't know better drag good companies and good makers names through the mud.

It's just sad to say ... and it takes alot to really piss me off ... but BS like this reaches that level.

If you want to buy $5 and $10 clone knives go for it ... but do not come here trying to sell them or trying to tell well informed people nonsense and cry when they put you in your place.

And I hope someone sells you a car that"s a clone of a good quality car and it fails and leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere ... then come tell us how that car was just as good as the real model ... while you're at it have a big cup of "grow the hell up".

Saying a few open minded people agree with you ... and all those that don't are a mindless zombie hoarde that can't think for themselves. Because they don't agree with you.
 
When I see cheap clones are as good as somebodies high quality knife posts-troll comes to mind, and we pretty much always bite. I think we are getting set up.
 
Normally I would agree with you Peter ... and I usually avoid it all ... but I've seen to many new comers to the forums fall for the OPs BS ... and sadly seen some leave the forums feeling swindled.

OP, your wasting your time viewing that forum as there are not a lot of POS fakes there. The very busy owner of this forum took his valuable time to address your baseless claim about your prior account being the playground for some rogue mod. The least you can do is get your sorry a$$ over here and thank him for looking into it.

It is our business when you bring it into our community. This forum has a stated policy on garbage clones. If you spend five minutes looking around here you will see that policy backed up by the quality members here. If you don't agree with the forum's policy, sorry. You can always go elsewhere. Plenty of crap places on the internet where shady people discus their shaddieness. If you can't handle the flack you know you will get here for posting about thief knife manufactures, then don't. The Op is here just to troll and has said as much. His trolling has not worked and now he is so butthurt he is lashing out at the mods and the community. Defending him makes you look foolish.

Cool, if you subscribe to that philosophy, stop telling me what is and isn't my business and how to live my life. :)

Oh, yeah. The pocket clip. Highly innovative idea on Spyderco's part:

Nut if it was such a lazy idea, how were they the first to think of it?
I think likening a pocket knife with a clip to a pen with one weakens the argument against Ganzo

It somewhat sounds (correct me if I'm wrong) like you're excusing other companies copying Spyderco's intellectual property since it was an easy idea but holding that what Ganzo did was worse.

I'm not saying anything about Ganzo--that's a different conversation. Rather just a comment that there existed plenty of prior art for use of pocket clips for devices that go in pockets, and that, as far as I'm concerned, Spyderco had no patent right to the pocket clip. I'm pretty sure that they didn't get a patent for that, did they?
