response peaceful jeffrey sharpmaker/freehand comment
- Thread starter book
- Start date
book, peacefuljefferey has been (rightfully) called out here for being kind of snotty towards other people, but I have to agree with him on this one. jefferey sometime lacks tact in his delivery. 
Perhaps I can put it a bit more gently: Putting a little effort into structuring your thoughts and punctuating your posts shows respect for the rest of us, and will garner a better response rate. If it is easy for the rest of us to read and understand, more people will take the time to read and respond.
Also, taking a whole new thread to address a petty disagreement is generally considered "bad form", and will not make you any friends among the members or the moderators.
For my part, I will say that I dulled every knife I tried to sharpen on freehand stones. I just could never get or maintain the correct angle. I LOVE the Sharpmaker. I'm sure another method could get them sharper, but the sharpmaker gets my knives plenty sharp enough for me. I use plastic as a test medium. The plastic jackets that magazines sometimes come in is good. If a blade drags, it is not sharp. With the sharpmaker, I can get them so they slice through just on their own weight, without pressure.

i also side with RH. i find it bizarre that somehow, your comeback to jeffrey warrants proper punctuation and gramar, but not your original posts. please take a handful of extra seconds to type clearly, using periods and commas when necessary. i will commend you, however. your retort was much easier on the eyes!

book, your anger at peacefuljeffrey's inexcusable lack of tact in making a valid point is understandable. You would be best served by making a distinction between him and yourself by not following in kind.
