I was conned and want to apologize to all here.

And that is exactly what you did in this thread acted on heresay and assumptions when you posted. This thread was an apology on my part for recommending Ann/Vlad.


I feel that some folks were made comfortable in dealing with her afterward. That is not a good thing at all. These folks now have knives in their collections that came from a rotten source that has stolen from people I know and I have have helped them profit from those actions. This is not something I can take lightly at all.

Gig and I got together today on the phone after he had compiled everything. I banned her and then posted this apology.

That is why I was so pissed off at you.

Whether you are a "Mod" or not, I do not know. Notwithstanding our differance of opinions in this thread, your first verbal attack to me in a PM, and subsequent postings on this thread does not give you the right to "Ban" me, like this is the Gestapo.

Further why does everyone get so uptight when the jerk-it emoticon is used. Isn't it there to use just like the smiley face, am I subject to be "Banned" becuase of that emoticon or the fact that "you" were pissed off this time of day ??
 
Tread lightly when dissing Bastid (or Gus), He is probably THE most respected member of this great place. Do the math or the homework--he would not fall into the 'most' category. :thumbup:

Coop

Good advice to follow LRJ35A:D
 
You were subject to be banned for what you wrote in a thread that was an apology. If I ever see you post another jerk-it in a thread where someone is apologizing you will be banned, you can bet on it and you are welcome to call me any names you wish.




I still don't understand your turnaround towards Ann Dem when you stated you read the threads (you were linked to Gig's information long before Rat gave it to you.).

I read several postings from that thread a few days ago, but apparently post #138 and subsequent were written later, the ones I read were mainly heresay & assumptions
 
When I saw the evidence I banned her and apologized.

If you can not see how a jerk-it in my apology came across as firing the first shot I can not explain it any further to you except do not do it again.

My comments were not based on hearsay and assumptions. I knew some of what Gig posted long before it became public knowledge here. However, I decided to wait until I could find more proof before going after ann_dem. Gig contacted me and showed me what he had discovered and it was much more than I had found. I was asked to keep it quiet until Gig had all his apples in a row and was ready to post it here. That was something I was more than happy to do. The important thing was to out ann_dem as the lowlife pond scum that she/he is, and Gig did a marvelous job of that.
 
...Bastid...Yer not only making me put on the pounds with all yer "SPAM" recipes, you've also possibly saved me a lot of money to use to enter into a "Weight Loss" :eek: program...Thanks Bastid and Gig for all the work you've put into this...:thumbup:...an amazing amount of work had to go into this...
 
Gus, you need never apologize. it sucks big time when folks as fine as you get conned, scammed, bullshiited in this manner.

You are a gentleman's gentleman and if I had the means I would fly to Israel and cram a 2x4 so far up Vlad's butt it would stick out of Ann's mouth. Then reinsert it while telling him/them/her that this one's for you!!!

Is Vlad and ann one in the same? Yeah, SCUMBAGS..........................

I agree 100% and am just happy that you and Gig brought this to our attention before anyone else got involved!
Thank you very much!
 
I have posted about this on other knife forums. I am banned from USN, so hopefully someone else can get those folks up to speed.
 
Maybe Ken Onion needs to send the Posse to Israel and see vlad-Ann. The next thing we'll hear about is this POS on some other Foreign knife Forum selling one of a kind Onions.


While there is no evidence to suggest or link Vlad to the theft of ken's knife I dont't give a flying F***. Street Justice can at times be fun, therapeutic, and absolutelty justified.

Vlad has screwed enough folks, I have a 2X4 with his name on it!!!!

at least you WERE a member. i cant even set up an account. it keeps kicking me back to the home page and rejecting my password. i keep asking for email confirmation, but havent gotten one yet.
 
Gus listen up,you don't owe any of us an apology.You handled the initial problem just like you have always handled the shit around here.Level headed ,with tact and as fair as you could from the info you had at hand.This place is way better off with you here doing what you do.O.K. that's about as touchy feely as I like to get now,go slam a goat my friend.
 
O.K., I'm a little confused about what "banned" means. Has Ann_Dem been banned from Bladeforums altogether, or just this particular forum? I ask because I'm seeing new posts in the for sale by individual forum. Somebody? Anybody?
 
WOW... what a 180 from not so long ago.

I have to apologize to some here. After doing alot of reading now, there is some good that comes out of TGB&U.
 
They are banned from all of the site as all thieves should be.

We are working on the for sale threads
 
Bastid, you are one of the most decent people at BF. You've done nothing wrong that requires an apology. You acted in good faith, and that's all any of us can, and should do.
 
He is banned from posting at Bladeforums. He can still read most of the forums, including this one and the Exchange forums, but can't post anywhere. Any posts you're seeing must have been posted before he was banned. We're cleaning up active sales threads now to make sure he doesn't abuse Bladeforums to sell any more stolen goods.

I was fooled too and I am pretty mad about it.

By the way he started accounts with several more false identities today. Watch the Plank Log in Bladeforums Service & Support....
