Who am I?
I am an opinionated person posting my opinion in sincere hopes I am dead wrong.
I am clear, and it should be clear that I am cynical, very very cynical. Furthermore, I am clear and it should be clear that I don't believe this guy and would not believe him if his tongue came notarized and again I hope I am wrong (and I have no problem admitting it when I am since it does happen

)
I suppose the OP could have just left negative feedback and that be the end or just post his side and then we could all just read it without comment or chime in and post a "thank you" and nothing else saving our opinion or comments until we are the one personally aggrieved by this guy or another sca.........guy
Or I can feel horrible, and like a heel when the young man explains to me how he was still in a position to wheel and deal August 24th but was out of State (having difficulty shipping 2 other knives probably in one of those States that have no USPS and further prohibit FedEx or UPS)
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=668886
told the OP the knife shipped already, have no contact
privately and then post how terrible the past "few weeks" have been
but was about to ship until that bigmouth asswhole Ira posted and now Chris can go pound sand (insert emoticon of choice here).
So allow me to apologize in advance;
I am sorry, so sorry for ranting often about being only as good as your word. I also am sorry, so sorry, so ver very sorry for using some of my life's difficulties as the barometer for fufilling one's side of a deal. I have no right to compare my life or to use the trials, tribulations and tragedies as a gauge to measure when to slam someone for being late or not delivering because from 2000 to 2009 both my parents died, my father-in law died, my 54 year old best man at my wedding dropped dead, my two most favorite dogs have died, a very dear close friend's son was killed in 9/11 and to add insult another close friend, schoolmate and Victory Engine #4 (1973-75) was killed at a Fire/building collapse in Astoria Queens on father's day, 2001 while as member of Rescue 4 NYFD. Oh, and my health issues (and resulting demon baby troll issue) as a result of a minor injury and the countless surgeries from 2001-2009 that include my favorite years of 2006 and 2007 when I was hospitalized for about a week every six weeks............
and through it all I never screwed up one deal, left one person hanging on a trade, failed to send money or the item on a sale, did not actually ship the knife or payment
when I said I did, failed or forget to return a knife or money if the other party was not happy and never once forgot how to dial a phone, ask someone to dial a phone, never forgot how to E-mail or ask someone to E-mail, facebook, spacebook, myspace, twitter, skype, pony express, smoke signal (Damn, here comes the rant again!!!


) so that the lines of communication stayed open enough to prevent a thread from being started on GB&U.
And I am not alone!!!!! There are probably 10,000 others here or no longer with us (insert salute here for the Departed) who also battled personal demons, suffered illness injury or both, maybe even had a penis injury (Covering vulgarity of course ), the loss of family or friends, divorce (includes the standard financial ruin) that have managed to keep the lines of communication open, kept the other party happy, delivered payment or product and if they saqid something shipped it infact did ship!!! (Oh, I forgot) And never once needed their wife, husband, Mother, father, Aunt, Uncle or Brother (a biggie here on BFC) to post a bullshiit excuse why nothing has arrived in the mail.
In Conclusion
So to Existance; if you plan on
not shipping because I said some terribly unfair, untrue, rotten or uncalled for comments please reconsider. I would be more than happy to pay the cost of shipping and although my cat just died I can and will paypal the shipping costs ASAP and a user knife as a symbol of peace.
Of course if my initial opinion was correct the only "peace" you'll get from me comes from a pine tree.
Now you
all know why my friends (all 1 of them) call me.....................
WAIT

a minute, they
DON'T call me
