So you are saying that the statements I've directly quoted about Mick Strider claiming he is a combat vet are not direct quotations of him? Are you saying that his settlement with Osman isn't indeed the truth?
By all means, provide something to back up your statement.
I have read everything here and on some other sites and come to my own conclusions. I would imagine that others will do the same. Weather you support Mick Strider or believe him a dirtbag will be a personal decission based on what you believe.
Debate is good even heated debate. Since I have nothing more to add to this thread I won't be posting in it anymore unless asked something dirictly.

sparkles,
i disproved that anybody in this thread threatened your buisness.
my only other comments have been how this thread could of had been conducted better and in a more adult manner and fashion.
i believe in the past being the past. we may know of what one did in the past but it is how they carry themselves into the future that matter to me.
from all accounts mick has paid his dues to society and to his friends and family.
nothing mattters more than these three.
not you , not me, not cars or boats

Not another high tech lynching!!! I thought Justice Clarence Thomas' was the last one.
Most of that cut and paste nonsense was authored by Middle Earthman himself.
Dude nailed himself to the cross. That's not martyrdom, it's suicide. :jerkit:
A little fraud stamped into each one out the door.
Sure there direct qoutations as far as I know, I did not spend the last 30 years glued to Mick. I was busy with my own life. What Mick did is between him and GOD. The rest is just senseless Internet bravado.
We have entered that circle of endlessness.

Hawksbill,
Is your memory that poor? Or are you just bringing 1SKS and saying others won't buy there either for no reason at all.
As for how someone carries themselves into the future, and the past being the past, I find it incredible that you are saying this when such outrageous claims were made less than 1 week ago.

Well, that settles that.
"threaten" versus "may consider"
and i dare say by my not spending $ is a threat to your busness as well
EDIT:
i mean honestly, i even preface it with "and since you can make speculative comments, i guess i will as well:"
i say that it is speculation.

No one else here spent the last 30 years glued to Mick. So what do they know. 30 years of a mans life compressed in to two pages on the internet. Boy thats conclusive. Thats the final word.
I will say it again Witch hunt.

When I said "that settles that", I was speaking of the fact that you did not have any evidence to contradict Spark, who asked you if you did after you stated, "I see a bunch of cut and paste nonsense". Are you aware you failed to prove your point and back up your claim of "nonsense"?

I will now ask you, since you purport yourself to be "in the know" (you did say "witch hunt", right?), the same questions I asked at the beginning of this thread:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4353814&postcount=18
"So, what is the truth exactly? Strider was the real deal, has medals, and was wounded in combat? Strider never told anyone he was deployed and was wounded in combat? Strider never saw combat and wasn't a Ranger? Strider worked as a privately (or Govenment) contracted Merc? Strider was offered a plea-deal to serve as a Ranger in Somalia? Was the allocution letter in the TAG suit true? Was it bogus? Did Strider recently imply he wrote/signed it to just make it go away? Where has anything been "admitted to" and "apologized for"? What is the truth, and who will tell it?
Regards,
3G"
Can you answer?

What a f*cking scumbag!!!
I have a serious problem with assclowns who pose as "former Special Ops" soldiers, and have hospitalized several.
If a guy commits a felony some years ago, makes restitution, and attempts to live a clean life . . . IMHO he should get a pass (dependant upon nature of offense). HOWEVER, this assclown has made no attempt to clean his life up. Indeed, his life seems to be based upon a foundation of LIES . . . which is now rapidly crumbling. He LIES to his wife, LIES to his customers, LIES to his business associates, LIES to the guvmint . . . and LIES to HIMSELF.
His business is ruined. His reputation is ruined. He has become a joke and a pariah. And . . . it is now public knowledge that he has violated Federal Law by being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Truth is, I never really knew or cared much about him or his knives until reading this thread just now.
I almost feel sorry for him . . . but, truth be told, he done it to himself.
Mick, if you're reading these words, here is my advice to you . . . immediately empty out your bank accounts and begin investing in top quality single malt scotch.
It's all over.

Here I am a supporter of BFC paying $25 a year and I sell rarely, post photos rarely, and use PM's rarely so guys like Maddog can become a Knifemaker member here for Gratis. All Maddog had to do was further sell Mick down the river. All this time I was paying because BFC needed folks like me to keep this place going, how silly of me. If I had known one could get a five year free membership by simply digging up Internet proof that discredits a Knife maker and I too could get a five year freebie I would have never become a paying member here and donated the $25 yearly to a more worthy cause.
**Edited to add that Mr. McClung's refusal to slink down to snake level to assist a guy that has made it a point to really, REALLY dislike the McClungs is reason number 1 that I do not believe on it's face everything I read on the net. McClung's response to Spark considering the bad blood between the two based on all I have read leads me to believe there is a limit to how low one will go to hurt another.
Keep it quiet for "Opsec purposes", huh?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
