Sometimes you can be right,... but still be wrong.

i would like to apologize for making personal insults, in defense of a friend, here. joe mundt thank you for the good advice. i am just one person who enjoys knives as a hobby and have no financial stake in this and as i see here there are those who represent this industry with honor and respect and those who try to do their best making a good business from it. what started as a good thread about the organization turned into side issues of the business and how the abs excludes dealers. i do see the points made and i can only say i am learning a lot about how things go in the real world, hearing everyone speaking so candidly. peoples feelings have been hurt and some have been maligned, some who deserved it and some who didn't. i can only apologize to those good members here who have long worked to preserve something decent about all of this. rogerp,keith montgomery most notably. i did receive infractions for my insults, by the moderators, which i hope they will also do for those others who have shown no class. the only hot air i have left is to agree with architects statement how there is an increasing trend for knife magazines to sell knives as some form of entertainment, in regards to knife testing. there has been one writer at Blade who has had his fiance melissa become a major focus of his articles month after month.

Just trying to understand your last sentence, can you clear that one up, is it intended as a bad thing or good thing that Kim has his "wife to be" helping him out?

Thanks
Spencer

Hi Dickie,

Since the topic of this thread is Carolyn Hughes' editorial, what are your thoughts on what she had to say?

In particular, do you agree with her generalized description of forum participants as clueless wannabe authorities?

Do you agree with her suggestion that the content of forums discussions is largely "garbage" which must be sifted through to locate the substance "if any is there"?

Do you believe that someone who states that they refuse "to read anything on any forum" has any credibility in making such statements?

Hi Dickie,

Still waiting on your answers.

Spencer,
Why do it, in every article for what is it, six months? ..yeah, as a reader of Blade, at first it was fine but started agitating my sense of science of knife testing. it becomes more entertainment than substance, where she gets attacked by a snake in the last issue. I just don't see the point i guess.

these forums represent a strange mix thrown together in one big soup. i do understand the notion there should be some recognized points of view. No one here has to earn the right to speak, for example, on any matter. it becomes this giant soapbox where every opinion is heard. freedom of speech for all, a glorious thing that has it's own problems. i could serve as an example.. who am i? a guy named David.

that's practically all it takes, access to a computer and a point of view. the one common thing, a shared interest, highly deverse views of what it is. more acknowedgment of credentials might help weed through the jungle of ideas.. if it matters.
