Forums troops and bullying

I'm just pointing out, you essentially insulted Bill first.

Lever knives maybe. But Italian stilettos like Picklock Pat?

Dear Bladeforums, I, Quiet, am the WORLD'S FOREMOST EXPERT on the history of the Hot Dog. I demand immediate respect, and I'm going to go condescend to all other tube-shaped baloney makers and call their products kit hot dogs. This is a carefully calculated move to flex on others, and I expect that my expertise will be immediately apparent. BUY MY BOOKS.

I believe this statement because I can see your name, and your profile picture is on the book jacket

Other people claiming to have written books haven't provided a name or picture, so it's very hard to know if they exist or not. Until then, it's just another anonymous internet user trolling a respected knifemaker who has posted thousands of images of his work, provided tons of knowledge to the forum, and pays to support the forum.

I’m just pointing out I’m not just someone here to cause problems. I like to discuss knives. That’s all

You're not "just" someone here to cause problems. Does that imply that causing problems is part of your repertoire? Because, so far, in my experience that would be accurate.

If you "like to discuss knives, that's all"...that would be absolutely fine.

You have been given excellent advice here by our members.

Ignore, either by using the capabilities of the software, or your own willpower, those who you find objectionable in word or deed.

Address only the information provided in posts and not the poster. We are not here to point fingers at one another.

You have reported somewhere between ten and a billion posts since last night. We, (the staff), have addressed the matter with the parties involved and told everyone to go about their business in an adult manner from this point forward.

You are not satisfied, apparently, and feel you are due some special consideration.

The special consideration you will receive is this:

Go back to discussing knives and not our members. If you cannot do that, the special consideration you will receive is losing your privileges on this site, up to and including being banned from it.

This is not what I want to see happen...but if you insist on going down this road, I can virtually assure you that it will be the result.

Do you think it's worth continuing this caterwauling? (Hint: I don't.)

Calm down, have a nice glass of Italian red to go with the automatics you apparently love, and enjoy the day.

Or don't. The choice is yours.

Sounds good and I’ll sure put 99% of the folks in this thread on ignore too. Pretty so you’ll the the only guy here I can see post from. Lol

“…Address only the information provided in posts and not the poster. We are not here to point fingers at one another….”

That’s is what 99% of every poster in the thread has done….

That would be a shame, but that particular choice is yours to make. I assure you, my posts are only occasionally entertaining...but some of them can be worth reading.

I fervently hope this will put the matter to bed.

Let's move on.

Thread closed.

Since you refuse to take a hint and continue to report every post which disagrees with you as an attack, I have banned you for one week. Use that time to decide if you still want to be a member of this community. If not, we can make it permanent.

If so, come back and be a productive member and stop wasting the staff's time with petty reports on posts with which you have decided to take umbrage. We don't have time for these stupid games.

Your choice. See you in a week. Or not.
