Dear 12 Year Olds

[Doc4570]

Dear 12 year olds,
Please knock it off.
(No offense meant to the 12 year olds who admit to being 12 year olds
and act accordingly)
This is a forum for men who are interested in collecting knives.
(No offense meant to the women members)
You may not know this, but a man is not judged by how outraged he can be.
- If a man sold you a knife and said it would be delivered in 3 days, do not put
him in this forum on the 4th day.
- If a man has a knife for sale for $400 and you offer him $80, do not put him in this forum
for not answering your e-mail.
- If you bid on a knife, do not drag a man's reputation through the mud because you did not win.
We do not believe that you are all Police Officers, Correction Officers and CIA special operatives.
Even a CIA/kill-for-hire/ex-Navy SEAL/former Green Beret/Mecong Delta sniper knows about mortgage rates.
We have all been where you are now.
I remember when my whole collection was a Puma Hunter's Pal and a few non-descript Swiss Army knives.
I really wanted a Jimmy Lile "Rambo" knife.
We will accept and help you as you are.
We do not believe you are "mature" because you are incredibly "cranky".

I hope I'm not terribly out-of-line here
Respectfully
Doc

Here here, well said. Hell, that was good enough that, with your permission, I might include it in the Buying / Selling / Trading FAQ's I'll be putting up (eventually)
