CJ "I hope I was not too cold/harsh in my opine" not at all ! i think our similar past histories means if we could sit down and have a chat, we'd find a lot of things we agree on. like "personal accountability", etc.
i love knives and i love BF and spend lots of enjoyable time here. plus the knowledge learned adds relevance to the knives in my collection.
but i sense there may be some dislike, or avoidance, of serious topics by some BF members. if so, why ? BF is THE forum to discuss and share our knowledge and experiences relating to knives. is only superficiality or tongue-in-cheek permissible ? i hope not, for knife collecting affects us all in many and different ways. i see no benefit from limitations as long as it is dialogue rather than strictly monologue.
