I've read those posts, and you both looked like two bickering children. It didn't give me a favorable impression of the actions of Mr. Strider OR you.
You are entitled to your opinion. I notice you certainly aren't castigating Mick Strider on a regular basis. I'll also point out I handled myself a lot more politely and with a lot more patience. Furthermore, you're definition of "bickering children" is pretty humorous. But that's neither here nor there. This thread is about Mick, not me.
Could you post those posts, please? I've tried to read everything on this matter, but haven't read where he called you a cocksucker, or where he "actively tried to bring down BFC". Sounds like an overstatement, to me.
I'd suggest you reread the archives.
Check the threads "Attn Spark" "This site sucks!" and others. Do your own homework.
Notice that he's not interested in calling, and he's too impatient to figure out how to actually use the software.
I recall reading MAYBE two posts where he spoke ill of you, and accused you of not answering PM's. I wouldn't call that "all weekend".
It started on 2-13 and ended on 2-19, conveniently while I was at SHOT. He whipped up a public spectacle, instead of contacting me privately. His cronies decided to encourage people to head for greener pastures. Hm, maybe I should question Mick's motives.
No, I question your MOTIVES. Are THEY honorable? The sneakiness by which you mounted this "attack" suggests to me otherwise.
My motives are clearly explained, repeatedly, throughout this thread. Getting my ducks in a row before I make a public statement is good sense, especially with regards to lawsuits. If you don't like it, you can bravely step up and ID yourself there, buckaroo. Otherwise I'm going to question your motives because you are starting to sound like a shill.
His forum rarely has more than a handful of people. He didn't state this in a press release, but in a personal, low traffic forum. The Alexa ranking of his site currently is 733,345. Yours is 58,722. I doubt that less than one tenth of a percent of Strider's customers read his forum. How would that serve to "pump him up"?
His motives are a mystery to me man, why would he lie about being sent to Somalia? Why would he carjack someone? Why go AWOL? These are bizarre actions for someone who touts honor. Yet here we are.
There are a lot of things that don't add up about his claims, but there are just as many regarding your motives.
Fortunately you can actually question me, I'm not hiding and making tough guy talk about killing people with hammers like a punk.
I think it all boils down to "his attempt to bring down BFC". That's known as a "grudge".
That's your opinion. Funny how I waited 4 years, and waited another 4 days after he made such spurious claims to actually
spring into action with my nefarious plans. Heck, I must have been just biding my time, collecting all of this evidence, waiting and waiting praying for Mick Strider to screw up. Heck, I just ignored the whole Mad Dog / Mick Strider blowout because I was hoping they'd kill each other and it'd be a battle royale with men in fatigues dueling with knives!
You know, instead of just living my life and ignoring his posing and posturing and not giving a damn about him and his cronies. It wasn't until I saw a 30 page thread on Cold Steel that I even had an interest on this, though. But if you have evidence otherwise,
back up your statements.
In the meantime, you keep on trying to shift the blame there. It's almost, nah, who am I kidding. It's obviously not working.
attorney he would have sent a subpoena to the U.S. Government for the DD-214 as soon as discovery was opened....The objective is to win the case and prove your facts, not get caught up in meaningless motions.
