There's an old adage, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." And that is the best policy. In fact, here at bf.c, we discourage any mention of any other knife forum at all; this way there can never be any accusation of any "bashing" going on.
Unfortunately, on the Internet (and in life I'm general) a lot of people seem to have trouble distinguishing themselves. If you can't make yourself taller, then you can cut down everyone else and hope that that makes you look taller in comparison. Here at bf.c, we prefer to try to distinguish ourselves and not to engage in cutting others down. It is unfortunate that some other sites don't seem to take this approach. But, that is the way it is. We prefer not to stoop to that level and are so pedantic about that goal as to simply expunge any mention of any other knife forum at all. Maybe this is a bit overboard on our part, but one can't argue that it doesn't work. If there is no mention of any other knife forum, then there can be no question of any motive in discussing other forums. To avoid infections, surgeons maintain a "sterile field." Similarly, to avoid the all-to-common tendancy to bash, we prefer a sterile field.
