Huh? Are you asking for the opinions of those who don't have any information to base their opinions on?

You know some people who have read it all will probably vote in your poll anyway....
 
Oops, sorry. I want them to state an opinion. I am unclear.

I should have said, make your statement without having to enter the dialogue and risk getting your emotions out of joint or something like that.


Thank you for pointing that out.
 
Actually, I am clearer than I thought. The link accusing DD is on the first page. The rest is the historic declarations from both side.

Everybody votes! It is a free thread. No thugs at our polls.
We even have security to protect the downtrodden.

I think Britney should get professional help and quit dissing Dr. Phil!!
 
Sigh. oops again.

I thought you meant non-contributors as in not posting in the priamry thread.
Now I get it.

Well, in that case, we will get a representation of what the paying membership of BF thinks.

Sorry to those that can not vote.
(You could always upgrade)

Now I will be accused of running a BF fundraiser, lol.

I don't understand the first part of this choice. Do you mean the knives spontaneously set themselves upright with no visible means of support, or do you have to stab them through a 2 x 4 first?

As a point of information, do I have to buy them regardless of any controversy or can I bypass this purchase due to exorbitant price?
 
As a midnightsupermoderator, I am pretty sure you can do whatever you like.

I only had rom for 10 options and did not want to do 2 polls. Trust me, I had a longer list of comments.

I didn't read the Strider thread, and I don't have a strong opinion about Strider knives or the company per se. I've owned a couple, they were very good knives. I'm not sure the price is justified though, when you look at what else you can get for half as much.

I'm in this hobby for the knives, not the personalities. My understanding is that Ernie Emerson is a very estimable person, and I've seen enough around these forums to believe Mick Strider has not conducted himself in an honorable fashion in his business (in terms of lying about his background) and his life (as far as being a felon). That said, I'd rather have a strider SnG than an Emerson Commander because I think it's a better knife.
 
I think what yanks alot of peoples chains about strider knives is that whole over the top image they apparently invented out of two seperately low speed high drag hitches in the service.

Lots of guys without service records make completely competent hard use knives that folks in the services wear with pride. Guess the strider crew were too legendary in their own minds to just be humble civilian makers. Maybe strider knives is an elaborite practical joke on the real special forces guys out there?

Look at us now, we get asked to train these suckers!!!

Man, just go read the sk archive here! It reads like Sgt. Slaughter doing nightmare grinds when he isn't busy saving the free world as Billy Badass.

Now it turns out that Tom Berenger has more USMC sniper kills than does Dwyer. Hell, even Billy Zane has a couple for the Company.

At least Berenger can act while keeping a firm wall between fantasy and reality.:D

strider is apparently all hat and no cattle and if there is a resistence to the truth, it can only come fom people wondering if they'll ever get back the full amount they overspent in the first place.

I'd hate to be positioned heavily in striders and hoping the market will go up. It's gotta be like record collectors hoping that autographed Milli Vanilli albums will sell for hundreds on ebay.
