No More Spyderco For Me!

Wow? What a tuff crowd! I had no idea that so many people have stock in spyderco! Forgive my trespassing, forgive my spelling, forgive me for telling people in a knife forum My personal experience and I have numerous knives from high and low end companies
 
Did you ever give Spyderco the benefit of the doubt that they may have never received your email?? Do you know how much spam is blasted into public email addresses everyday? Let me tell you, I work for Newgrounds.com and have public email addresses avaiable for our users to contact me. I had over 2,000 spam emails over the weekend. Sometimes the spam blocking scripts filter out legit email. Maybe you had something in your email that got flagged as spam. Who knows. Or maybe they get so much email and spam they can't find what's legit inbetween the hundreds of Viagra ads.

Like everyone else said, Sal frequents the Spyderco forum on here. If that's not personal attention from a company I don't know what is. Should he come over and cook your f'ing dinner for you to make you happy?
 
Stock in Spyderco? No. Just good taste. You're a comically ignorant person. More and more I think this is either a joke or a really sorry attempt to slander Spyderco.

You make us sound unreasonable, and yet you abandon an incredible company when they don't release all of their information about a knife that isn't released yet. I bet the people at Spyderco will starve without your loyal support. I can see it now...Sal enters his home from a long unrewarding day at his profitless business to some Ramen noodles sitting cold on his counter. I bet you really have them scared. You were their sole source of income, and do you really expect them to be able to find customers who understand when they can't answer every single frigging e-mail, and ones who might consider that their inquery into an unreleased knife may go unanswered because they're busy answering e-mails about warranties and franchising? I doubt it. Nobody could be that sensible :rolleyes:

Not really, the place is generally quite tolerant and easygoing. Much more than any other forum I've seen on the net.

Last I heard they are a privately owned company. Nobody owns stock in Spyderco.

forgive me for telling people in a knife forum My personal experience

The problem comes when your personal experience is presented in an inflammatory way, especially when it is against what is far and away the most communicative and customer-oriented manufacturer in the industry. Combine this with the fact that you could have had any conceivable question you had about the balisong answered right here in either the Balisong forum or the Spyderco forum, and people are bound to take a dim view of it.

There may be a few exceptions, but generally nobody cares how many knives you own or which end they may represent. If you calm down and stick around you will learn this pretty quick.
 
I apologize to everyone, spyderco and everyone who has had the greatest experience in dealing with spyderco and its owner! But as far as all the grammar and personal attacks on my person don't hide behind a knife or your computer!
 
Hide behind our computers? Oh,we're sorry. Forgive us, we should have IP address tracked you, found your family, skinned them alive, hid them in clever places where you would discover them going about your daily life, and then while you're in jail for your own protection, knocked a guard unconscious, have one of us wear his uniform, come down to your cell in your sleep, and castrated you with dull gas-station Spyderco imitations.

Dumbass.

Besides, it's pretty easy to sit their in your lumpy computer chair flaming a company for something as trivial as an unanswered e-mail.
 
No need for the name calling by either of you IMHO--this isn't W & C.

Independent,

The guys and gals take a little afront to your first post on the forum having a negative connotation (against one of the more respected knifemakers didn't help--especially without what most would consider warranted "proof" or reason). Take a step back, realize that this board isn't like alot of other forums out there and you'll learn alot if you stick around.

If you want to turn this around and contribute, bite your tongue in this particular thread and come out slowly (biting your tongue and not making rebuttals in a thread gone bad only hurts for a little while). If not, enjoy your short stay :D

I would just like to say that independent is not reflective of all Florida residents..:)
 
I promise you! You would never call me a dumbass in person you kook!

Mmhmm...

Anyways...

The namecalling stems from my hatred of people who are quick to give people bad reputations.
 
I haven't heard an apology yet, so I guess this guy still stands by his original statement and never do business with Spyderco again. I'd hate to be the restaurant that serves this guy a cup of cold soup! :eek:
 
I have never owned a Spyderco product, though I have been considering buying one due to this forum. I therefore feel I am pretty objective on the Company. To make an evaluation of a product or a manufacturer based on a few non-returned E-mails seems to indicate that you were predisposed to be hostile toward them. Maybe I am reading something into your reply that is not there.... I think your first post might have been more effective if you had tried asking for information on contacting Spyderco instead of launching into a rant about the company. I hope you will be able to gain as much from participating in this forum as I feel I do. Most of the participants are really helpful (and even a few of those will occasionally regress into grade school insults.) From what I have read you reap what you sow on this forum. Being polite and respectful of others (including companies)is generally returned in kind.

That's just my opinion.

Wow, junior high response to a silly comment. At least you say you recognized that your response was not high level.

This is a really good group of people - many good comments regarding a really fine company - learn from the people here.

Sal spends more time on this forum than you realize, and has asked many times for the input of the members of the "knife community" that gather here.

Yeah you sure did . I think you should have asked about spyderco and how you could best reach them . I would think befor you post the next time. Ask more questions and less insults and you will do ok .
 
Most of the folks are pretty awesome in the way they have handled this.

Independant, join us, check out the Spyderco Forum. I think you will find that they are as responsive to their customers as they can be. Over time I think you will change your mind.

There have been too many times where someone has popped in to hype this or bash that and leave, so don't take things so seriously. Relax and enjoy this place. Even if you don't change your mind, you can always sell your Spidies pretty quick here. :D

Dammit, Bastid!...Don't you know that only "Gold members" are allowed to sell their Spydies here at BladeForums?, or ARE you trying to lead "independent" down the wrong path?.:D.
