Ronin, i refered to my trackand field stuff for a reason, people seem to think that if you are not Spec Op, you dont know stress. Did i mention that in tyhe events i do, if you are about .5 second off either way, people can get killed? Why do you think the hammer is banned in many states?? Going home and sulk? Funny. considering i kicked the vast majority of the peoples ass with no coaching, and little time practicing, i was very happy. I also beat the kid who placed 5th the year before with a sprained ankle. i am not suling i didnt medal, because i went there and showed many of the guys what i can do. Whats worth more than a medal? Respect of your peers.
Look at YOUR holier than thou attitude, Ronin. And since I do not know if these guys r reps or actual strider guys, since they havent responded, i dont know that they did serve or not.
When people are in the public eye, and behaving like this, they open themselves up to the comments. Maybe im the first one with some balls who isnt afraid to say something.
Ronin, YOU havent earned the right to judge me either, so STFU. go back to the strider forum, pop a beer and have fun. Dont tell other people what they can or cannot do, and dont judge other people.
All you people with your real op talk can jsut leave. The issue of whether its strider or reps hasnt been solved yet, so u have no idea if they are ops or not. If you cant take honest criticism, dont get you panties in a bunch. Dont go whining because some people, actually many, disagree with your favorite knife company actions in public. if they want to do this stuff in public, so be it, but also let it be known that some people dont put up with this garbage. Obviously, the Strider guys still havent shown up to discuss this matter, but their boys from the forum have shown up to try to bash and flame me, and it aint working guys. I doubt that EVERYONE at the Timonium show was "an old buddy" and that is an explaination for their actions. they were immature and showed a lack of respect, IMHO. If you dont like that, you can BITE ME.
this has nothing to do with popularity. i voiced my opion of what i saw, they werent just talking to buddies, unless the whole show was their buddy. if you cant stand to hear someone have a LEGIT complaint on someone, and you feel you must insult, GROW UP. Attitude isnt really the problem, its their immaturity and lack of respect.
Frac, i apologize for the post taking this turn. i feel that how the people of the company act in public can be a pro or con, and i voiced my opinion. you asked for pros and cons. I was willing to leave it at that, but then other people started to get on my back about it, so i responded to them. I get sick and tired of people acting like little babies and spoiled brats, thinking they can do whatever they want and not get called on it, and when they do, they get others to fight their battles for them. Others here couldnt handle criticism, and jumped all over my back, even when it wasnt aimed at themselves. I am merely defending myself and POV from the people here, who obviously have nothing better to do with their lives that ridicule people. As of now, i will stop posting to this thread. If anyone wishes to continue it further, email me.
while the Strider guys were pillaging small villages, offering animal sacrifices and barbecuing endangered animals....)
