I do very much remember that. In fact, that was kind of the point. I took a shot at you. You questioned my integrity and essentially called me a liar, so I took a cheap shot at you. I was also reprimanded and chastised by mods and other members for it. I also apologized for said remarks.
This actually validates my point about LT. When said comments are made about him its all laughs and chuckles here with no one reprimanding.
A rationale dislike of a company or its members is fine. Many here have stated a rational point of view displaying such. I step in and comment when said hatred goes beyond rational and either misinforms or is just insulting.
And Ren, as for the Strider thing- LT did something brash and bold. He knew going in that he would make a lot of people mad when he did so. But I do know that he has received a lot more positive response then negative from folks from the average knife buyer to real "operators". Most of them did not know the details until LT put it out there, since the knife mags were busy calling Strider a Rock Star instead of what he is. LT put himself out there because he thought it was the right thing to do- asking himself the question, "if not me- then who? If not now- then when?"
Ren, your hatred seems actually fairly rational. I know that I will never change your mind, and I will not even try. Irrational to me is "I hate the company, so I'll make fun of the owner's weight. I hate the company, so I will question the owner's sexuality. I hate the company, so I will imply that the owner has a small penis." Now, really, can't you at least acknowledge that as a rational point itself?
I am not here to pick a fight with anyone. I just think that another side needs to be heard when the name calling and misinformation flies around here.
