Lynn Thompson, Conquering the World, One Continent at a Time!

[3Guardsmen]

Now that would be an entertaining video.

I'd pay twice what they're asking to see that video!

Yup. a blowhard using a blowgun would be truly funny to see. I bet Lynn is good at blowing things too..........................

LOL Wolfmann! Just call him L. Blowgun. Doesn't sound quite as good as J. Lightening, but it works.

good god! How the hell did he manage to squeeze into an economy seat and come invade us....

I'm guessing he sailed over in his boat made of Grivory and Polypropylene, which also doubles as an excellent self defense weapon against wales.

I'm not so sure.
I think Wales is on the other side of the Anglosphere from Oz.

I wouldn't mind going on a big game hunt, bring an old double and do it right. But...125+ kills in 30 days, I think the term for that is "micropenis".

Good one, Esav!

Lynn needs a gun, WTF?????

The world renowned Martial artist can't kill a fallow deer with a roundhouse kick and can't drop a red deer with a left hook?

A cape buffalo may require a combo or two but he is LYNN THOMPSON, the world's baddest badass

now hold on, i thought he only needed a CS "russian SPETZNAZ" shovel, the haircomb stabby stealth thingy, a skull tipped walking stick, a blow gun (he loves blowing things dont he?), a "bad" ax, and a plastic "mutherfucking BROOKLYNN bitch!" bat to kill a lil fallow deer.....????????

definitely overcompensating......one might ask if he ate all that meat and used all those hides? I doubt it.....

So... Why is it that you guys Hate Lynn Thompson so much?

Is his Manliness too much for you?
Isn't the Fact that he Hunts, Designs Knives and Studies Martial Arts as well as Runs his own Company make him just the kind of Guy that most of you guys would normally Idolize?
Has he somehow Personally Wronged you guy in some way?
Is the Fact that his Company produces Quality products at Affordable prices some sort of crime against humanity (or maybe just the knife world?)
I honestly don't understand why everyone has to badmouth Lynn Thompson!
If the same things were said about Sal, or any of the other company owners then people would be up in arms and there would be retribution.
Yet, when the Subject is Lynn Thompson, everyone joins in... Even the Moderators. :thumbdn:
You guys should take a look at yourselves.

Yup, that's all there is to it -- his Manliness is too much for us.

 

[roughedges]

Tomahawk is the guy who has been trolling the spyderco forums of late. Seems to me like he's branching out now.

Yes. I equate "manliness" with spandex, and real men make me mad!

Isn't the Fact that he Hunts, Designs Knives and Studies Martial Arts as well as Runs his own Company make him just the kind of Guy that most of you guys would normally Idolize?

No, but the fact that he knows how to use proper capitalization, unlike you, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I take a look at myself every single day, and I don't look good in spandex!

He's also the OP in this thread, and he just mentioned Sal's name. Kinda makes you wonder what his motives were in starting it to begin with, knowing what kind of reception Cold Steel usually gets here.

[Tomahawk23]

Look... I understand that you guys LOVE Spyderco, and thats perfectly fine with me.
I dont have a problem with Sal or Spyderco!
I am not trolling anywhere.
I posted this because I thought it was interesting.
I, among other people, think Lynn Thompson is a great guy... this post was for them. Not for you guy to come and start trouble. I keep my personal feeling about Sal to myself, unlike you guys. It seems to me that you guys are the ones Trolling here.
Honestly, what has Lynn Thompson done to you guys that has made you guys want to jump all over someone who likes Cold Steel or admires Lynn Thompson?

I honestly thought you started this thread as a joke, and I think other people may have as well. Since it is now clear that I was wrong about that, I'll bow out of your thread.

THIS IS BLADEFORUMS !!!

We come here to feast, to fight, and to figure out who to mock next.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him ... what am I, a sycophant?

You posted a product for us to admire. Some of us don't admire it.
That's what the forums are for, to express our opinions too.
You don't get to decide whose opinions get posted.

And knock off this "Hate Lynn Thompson so much" business.
We don't hate him. We love him. He's more fun than Homer Simpson
and he knows it. Why do you think his ads are so over the top?

That was my take as well. "Look out Chuck Norris there's a new sheriff in town", along with a link to a $40 video. How is that not humorous?

Jesus Christ- here we go again.

Yea Tomahawk, it's ok to abuse LT or anything related to CS her on this forum. It is ok to question his manhood and even his sexual preference here (yea- i caught the "blow" line). It is ok to ridicule anyone who actually likes CS or LT as an uneducated moron. But, god forbid you do the same back to them. That's a stoning offense here.

LT is a knife knut. LT is a shooting and gun gnut. He is also a big game hunter. He spends tens of thousands of dollars on his annual safaris and if he wants to shoot more than a deer or two- well he's paid for the right to do so. I know many ranchers in places like Australia are thrilled to have feral donkeys and kangaroos removed from their land. They are a pest and it is perfectly legal to do so. I know that in many cases on his African hunts- most of the meat was donated to local villages who were very appreciative of the gesture.

LT spends a lot of money helping to keep hunting, shooting, and martial arts economies running, more than most of you will ever see. He loves his passions greatly and does a lot to keep them strong. While other knife makers and manufacturers are out playing golf on weekends, he is shooting, hunting, training, and knife fighting.

I've seen dozens of "big game hunting" videos that all have rather graphic footage and titles. There is an entire subculture of people who like those videos and that type of hunting. You guys don't? Fine. You don't like LT? again, fine. But how about taking the discourse a little higher than small penis and fat jokes. Or is that the best you guys can do?

I wonder how many of you have either met or spoken to LT. If you did, and there are several posts here of folks who have, you might be surprised to find him a very friendly guy who is passionate about his life and what he does.

But, I guess it is just easier to make fun of him, huh?

i dont care for him as he comes off to me as a pompous arrogant jerk who doesnt have the ability or desire to design any of his own stuff anymore so he copies others designs.

other than that and him being a little heavy to take seriously as a H2H expert i suppose he's "ok".

 

[Esav Benyamin]

Why is the pro-Thompson crowd so paranoid about anyone criticizing anything about Cold Steel? Why do you lump all criticism together as if each of us said everything you don't like?

The same back at you DngrRuss1 -- "But, god forbid you do the same back to them." You've got your opinion and others here have theirs. You may feel outnumbered. What, should some of the "antis" go away to make the fight fair?

Bladeforums has knife knuts and hunters. We should wonder why when Lynn Thompson sells knives and goes hunting that so few are impressed. It's unfortunate, but once it becomes a matter of choosing sides, people don't bother considering the other side's viewpoint any more.

Maybe your own over the top defense reminds people about what they don't like in LT -- which is why you were accused of being LT at one time. You are definitely not the best kind of defender he might have.
