ComradeWang, Is my Post count indicative of something that I am not aware of? I registered SEPTEMBER 1999, is that not interesting to YOU? Because I do not have 833 posts, my opinion is invalid? Were your 1st 100 posts invalid? Does my voice count only after I reach 800 posts. Your real WISE there, comrade Chang Wang.

What does a low post count have to do with my opinions? Is there a connection that I missing Wang Chang? Explain the connection.

Not listing my e-mail address is an option, o'wise one. But I will give it you NOW, so that you can CANCEL the "cross burning", o'wizard. Mr. 833 posts, my e-mail address is or826@yahoo.com

Knock yourself out, why you need it? Why you can't talk in the open? Who knows chang wang.

Should I stay quiet till I pass the 800 post mark, master? How about if I just reach the 500 mark?

Since you are so desperate to e-mail me.

Mail away..............momo

The only thing that is interesting is your complex about "post counts" and "e-mail address's".

 
What entertainment! And just getting in from a long day of work... Brian, where' s the butter?

Heheh, I'll second that Nakano2. Just can;t figure out why people have to lose it here so often. I'll have to say, sometimes these flames DO get entertaining, even if a bit tragic.
 

People would not lose it, if they were not provoked, instigated, pushed and FLAMED.

Anybody should be able to speak without being attacked. Most people that are attacked will defend themselves.

Don't attack another, that simple.

Then nobody will lose it.
 
Harikari, at no point did I attack you. You lost it without much provocation at all. Now chill out a bit. The reason why I pointed out your low-post count and no listed e-mail was because recently, I've seen some people with the same low-posts and no e-mail listing come and slander Brian@DiscountKnives with no proof. Please list your experiences with him if you have any negative ones. Why would you say his 10% pricing policy is a gimmick? Because you misread it? Not very fair if you ask me!

Yeah, so why do you do it?

So why are you attacking those who are speaking? Oh, because they're speaking about you. Free speech works in both directions, hypocrite. Grow up.

Most people who are "attacked" usually started out attacking someone else.
"Boo-hoo-hoo, poor little me! I was just here minding my own business, badmouthing someone else, when this big meanie came along and. . ."

Did you lose something? Hey, if anybody finds a clue, I think it belongs to Harikari - he seems to have lost his. (Yeah, I know he probably never had one to begin with)
 

Are you trying to raise some Havoc, again?

I was commenting on someone elses calculations, I was not attacking any poster in that thread. Like YOU are doing right NOW. Two other posters took shots at me and I returned fire. Is that enough HAVOC for you.

 
Harikari was kind enough to post his email. Further issues of decorum would be best debated privately, yes?

PS BTW, Brian/Discount Knives is no gimmick. Point to a legit lower price/shipping total, and he'll beat it by 10%. I've used it; do as others have described above.

Stop raising havoc around here, okay HAVOC?

I was commenting on some other posters calculations. READ it at least ONCE.
 
Harikari, the point isn't that you attacked a poster. You flamed DiscountKnives by emphasizing that the 10% price policy was a "gimmick" because you couldn't read it and check the math. And don't even point to the previous sentence and whine about poor little you being flamed, because it's true that you didn't check the math and started bashing on DiscountKnives with absolutely nothing to back you up...

about their 10% cheaper promise and never get a reply, what is the story?


It's a gimmick. That's why there is NO reply. Just buy the PUMA at the cheaper source
already. So what's the problem.....

Yeah, whatever. It isn't a gimmick, as many of us have already seen it to be real. Are you calling us all liars? Also, I checked with Brian. He said no e-mail was received from EDGE! Are you also calling Brian a liar? It seems a lot of people are lying except you, right? Obviously, you are telling the truth because we're all mean and are all instigating trouble and pushing poor you and flaming you. Awwww...

Meaning, you are saving 6.82% PERCENT

Not 10% percent.

$110.00 x 6.82% = $7.50 your savings

Meaning, it IS a gimmick........

-Harikari
Click to expand...

Very good! 6.82% of $110 is indeed $7.50. Now how does this apply to the situation? It doesn't. Why? Because the savings isn't $7.50, it's $11. So you save 10%. The comparison is between shipped price from their competitor and shipped price from Brian. It would seem that this is very important, because some stores charge about $7 shipping, whereas Brian charges $3.50. Besides, it is the shipped price that truly counts. How else are you going to get the knife? Don't tell me you are going to print it out of your printer! Maybe he'll fax the knife to you. Or... maybe he'll e-mail you your knife! Better yet, if he throws it really hard, maybe it will arrive at your doorstep!

That's right! You can always just make fun of my name! That is certainly going to solve the dispute.

Just because I'm bothering to speak to you doesn't necessarily mean I have a learning disability.

As the good Comrade has already pointed out, your first post in this thread was an attack on someone. Have someone READ it back to you if it is giving you trouble. Your comments on another illiterate's erroneous calculations were pretty funny too. You don't catch the obvious mistake and then pat yourself on the back for being right, when in fact you're completely wrong.

While I know how threads like this can degenerate into big piles of useless crap, a few posts to counterpoint the dullard are necessary. Besides, smacking around a dummy can be both fun and entertaining if done by the right person.
 
Two full pages of non-sense. Brian should be amused, to say the least. I personally have had ZERO problems with Brian and Company. Can some-one break down this 10% thing so it's easily understood?

We don't like to censor posts or ban members here at Bladeforums so I'm trying another approach: I've started a new thread for Harikari to criticize other members and for other members to criticize him: http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000986.html Please confine ALL such criticisms to that thread so you won't be cluttering up on-topic threads and the people who are interested in knife dealers won't have to sort through a lot of off-topic stuff to find the information they're after.

I really cannot believe the crap that I'm reading! I feel like I'm back in grade school, especially reading what HariKari wrote about Commrade Chang.

It reminded me of a little Brat kid!

As for the topic at hand (or the supposed topic)
I have ordered from discountknives about a half dozen times.
The prices were (with the exception noted below) far below the adveritised prices of other sites.
I found a lower price (marginal difference) at a different site on a product, he lowered his price accordingly. (by 10%) Period. no problems.
The one time there was a mistake in an order Brian offered to exchange the mistaken product for the correct product, I declined (gave the "wrong" knife to my brother and he loved it.)
The major complaint that most customers have with Brian is his lack of communication with his customers. I have experienced this with everey order. When one order did not arrive after several weeks I emailed Brian three times, he answered none, except for an auto response to my order. I tried to call the "always busy phone" and the "always busy international phone" about a jillion times. I finally asked the operator to check the lines, the operator (Ameritech) advised me that there was no conversation on either line and they were probably "off the hook".
I then wrote Brian an email indicating my dissatisfaction with his service, and pointed out that it blatantly counterdicted his claims (card) attached to each order.
Brian did respond to this, rather than an apology or explanation, he cancelled my order and advised me to look for another company to fill my needs.
I have come to realize that the even though "full service" online sites like www.chaicutlery.com and www.proedgeknives.com
don't always offer the "absolute" lowest prices, they do offer a far higher degree of service (and you can talk to a real, live, person.) That high level of service may come with a small increase in price, but it is a price well worth paying. As I have indicated I have found Murray at www.proedgeknives.com to be the best online dealer for my needs (your needs may, of course, be different)
One practice that I'd like to discourage however is availing yourself of the service of "full service" online dealer i.e. taking their valuable time and energy looking for information and finding a knife to suit your specific needs, only to make the actual purchase from a "discount dealer."
I hope that this information is useful to some and offensive to none.
Please be kind to one another,

I deleted this post and emailed Harikari a copy of it with suggestions for editing to abide by the rules.

It wasn't any worse than his previous posts, but we've had enough of this. I'm making an exception for the special "Pure Entertainment" thread I started for him, but except for that special thread the normal rules about personal attacks apply.

I just had to add my thoughts on the subject.
I recently ordered a Magnum Camp from Brian. I did the whole online order thing because his price was UNBEATABLE, believe me, I checked everywhere. I was prepared to wait the recommended time as stated in the reply to my order.

Imagine my surprise when it srrived just three days later, and on a Saturday.

Brian, if you read this, keep up the good work. I look forward to doing business with you again.
