Mike Turber...are you the Forum "Gestapo"?

Originally posted by Howling Moose:
- However, the notion that buying a blade at a reasonable price (and RETAIL, gentlemen, for ANY production blade is really "UN-reasonable") with a motive of marketing it back higher (say 25%) doesn't MAKE you a dealer necessarily...or 90% of the people selling on the Forum would be classified as such. How many times have any of you (me too) gone to a gun/blade show and found "a bargain or two" and turned it for a profit so we could buy that "real slick Custom job" we'd been want'n?, HMMM

- Then by this previous definition, are you a dealer too?

Moose: If paying retail for a production blade is considered to be UN-REASONABLE, why are you asking $179.00 for a Busse Basic #3 on eBay?

Discount Knives plainly lists RETAIL as $138.00 for a Basic #3.

Maybe I just don't understand...

I don't know if "Good, Bad, and Ugly" would be a good place for this ugly thing, but the lock-transfer function hasn't worked right lately, so I'll just lock it.

And, unfortunately, the post at the top of this thread is an hardly unique as a case of "invective inflation," like the use of the F-word as if it was just a punctuation mark. If "Gestapo" is used to describe an administrative decision that one finds annoying, what term should we now use to describe hellish crimes by a police state?

Perhaps someone would like to discuss the usages of shock-language over in Community.
