Look what someone found

Mr. Molstad,

Clearly you have not looked at the CS web site. No "cooler heads" have prevailed. The same intent to damage is still there. It's just a matter of some parties not wanting the liability of exposure...... so links have been removed, stuff has been edited, etc. You are incredibly optimistic if you think there is anything altruistic going on there, but that's not very realistic Sir. People are trying to cover their butts at this point, or at least be in a postition to throw someone else under the bus when the time comes.

Michelle,
From some of your posts it seems that you are part of or privy to some Legal action taking place.
I think in another thread you mentioned that the wheels were in motion behind the scenes or something like that.
Can you share with us what this process may be?
 
Im posting about the future I hope to see Michelle.

I believe in the concept of allowing people to change .
The moment we start to go nuts over small changes to what a person may have posted on a forum in the past, thats the moment we might as well give up attempting to change their minds in the future too...

But if we notice that some posts on a forum, or text on a website have slightly changed, we should know that this is a sign that there atleast is movement in the direction of the person.
If we allow it , if we dont make a big deal over the smaller first changes in position, then we help along down the path everyone who also is stuck to past positions via their past postings.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they sall be called the sons of God...

People should have the chance to go back and change, remove, and edit past websites and posts on the internet to better reflect what they feel now...and not just be forever stuck with text that might have been writen in anger, (or drunkeness) and does no longer truly reflect what a person now feels is what he wants people to know and remember about himself.

Allowing people the chance to change their past posts, actually also allows them to change their current views.
Not allowing people to change their past posts without being called on the carpet over it, only serves to glue people to their past views with no point in concidering to change them.

This is the concept that I believe is important if you have the aim of bringing people to the point of being able to change their minds, perhaps even to forgive past errors of others.
If I dont have another chance to post here today, then what I have copied above is what gives the heart of what i would have said today anyway.

Ah yes, more speculation from Michelle. :thumbup: "If" the time comes, it will be a very interesting time indeed. Past that, I'm still not seeing anything that rebuts my arguments or proves me wrong. Sorry.
 
A lawsuit being a "very interesting time" Kevin, how about a VERY EXPENSIVE TIME irrespective of who wins........

At least Mick would have to disclose any and all "Black Op" involvements if they do exist.

And all the truth will finally be uncovered and disclosed....................

This is an excerpt from something I posted on another site. I am not giving legal advice, I am not a lawyer, I am just basing the tactics on corporate tactics used through out history:

a lot of people are upset about what Cold Steel has up on their website right now, saying it is in very bad taste and a direct attack on you. They are right, but I think they are missing the real reason it is up there. All the threads on places like Blade Forums can say what they want it is an open discussion forum, yet a posting on Cold Steels web site is official and can be attacked legally. This is an old tactic used by businesses for ages. If the person or company attacked can’t or won’t fight the charges leveled against them then they must be guilty and other companies and people take note of this. Most companies used to do this in print knowing the other company couldn’t afford a drawn out legal battle. I think in this Cold Steel screwed up because Strider is a very successful company and as its president you have ample reason and resources to bring this to a close in the courts. It should be easy for you to refute the charges leveled against you. It just takes obtaining copies of records and having witnesses’ attest to their validity. There are no patents or copyrights involved; it is a simple case of slander or liable. Cold Steel set this trap nicely, now lets see it spring closed on them. Please do as others suggested in other places and sue the hell out of them, it will clear your name once and for all and put all the people sitting on the fence clearly on your side.

As I said it is not legal advice, just my ideas on why Cold Steel posted what they did and how I think Mick should answer it.

I agree this is the best way to put a stop to the accusations and speculations. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that lawsuit though...

Ain't that the truth. The only pertinent question with respect to any speculation out there about impending litigation seems to be: Does SKI have more to gain than lose by pursuing such a course of action?

Only time will tell but, at this point, I'm thinking . . . "more to lose".
 
So, what you are saying is should Mick Strider remain silent and take no action against Cold steel everything LT wrote is therefore true?
I don't know but if someone wrote something as damning as Cold Steel wrote and I was the topic and the truth would prove that I was the victim of Libel I would be posting my evidence and filing suit (in no particular order!!!)

That is not what I said. It would be perceived as truth by a lot of people and businesses because there is a preconceived notion in this country that if you are wronged you stand up and fight against the wrong. This tactic was used very well by people like Jim Fisk and the Railroad and manufacturing tycoons to put the little guys out of business. They couldn’t afford the fight so buckled under. In this case Strider Knives is a going concern with numerous military contracts and a backlog of customer orders for their knives. Mick as president of the company, I would think would want to fight this with everything he had as it not only detracts from him but also the other owners, officers and stockholders of the company as well as eventually possibly affecting his customer and supply base.

Military contracts will shrink or dry up once this war is over, look at Viet Nam, how much we downsized our forces and equipment tables for a recent example. I am sure Mick is looking to the future and trying to figure out how to profitably convert his manufacturing from a military based commodity to a general population commodity so as not to have to down size. If he elects not to clear this up it will only snowball and come up at the most inconvenient times as he tries to grow his business through mass civilian sales to compensate for the natural down turn in military contracts once the war ends. This is my 2 cents on the whole affair and represents my views only.

I agree, Ira, if - IF - I had attorneys saying there existed an actionable cause with respect to defamation and IF those attorneys could assure me that filing suit wouldn't result in further scrutiny during discovery than I cared the matter or myself be subjected to.

As a general principle, however, I'd have to agree with those who feel that silence in the face of such public allegations implies a certain degree of tacit agreement (resignation) over the validity of the allegation(s).
 
I have a good idea. Why not just drop the whole issue, all the speculations, and let the parties that are actually involved get it settled among themselves. This could drag on forever.

No. ;)


As for what you may have "heard" I look like, I probably don't look like that much anymore. I cut all my (very red) hair off a few months back and donated it to Locks of Love. So I'm probably not all that attractive... and it's doubtful I fall into the category of "deadly". Lastly, my temper is usually VERY relaxed... until or unless I see a screw-job being done on someone who doesn't deserve it. My ire gets even more aggravated when the people doing the screw-job claim to be doing it out of "pure motives", when from what I keep witnessing, that is the OPPOSIT of the truth.

Take care.

Read INSIDE DELTA FORCE> The convicted felon they get to teach the Delta troopers IS:\

MICK STRIDER!!! And who gives a damn. I know plenty of freinds who are convicted felons. Are they bad people? Hell no. The government can make any one of you a convicted felon right now or throw you in a mental institution, or kill you. They dont give a damn. A felon is a peice of paper the govt. will hand to anyone. Hell, they lead our troops into battles they are too old and decrepit to fight. Many soldiers dont care to fight some wars the paper pushers try and make them do, but they HAVE to. The govt murders more people than you could ever count, but not one will get their "FELONY CONVICTION". Plus the best soldiers come from the brig. Doubt me? Come visit me and we'll test it out.
