A lot of people don't take Reddit seriously, so it's probably that.
It probably is, and I understand them. Reddit at times is pretty unintelligent. A quick look through my website, database, or posts would put that thought to rest. All of my testing is done properly, my machine(s) are calibrated, verification blocks are being used. I know what I’m doing, and have been doing it for most of my adult life. I work in an accredited independent metallurgical test lab, and perform more Rockwell testing than I can count. Literally tens of thousands of samples every year. I perform audits for the likes of BHT, Boeing, Sikorsky, Bombardier, Grumman, etc. I’ve had numerous attempts at discrediting my work, and I’m honestly tired of coming home after working on aerospace parts for major companies, just to be discredited by guys using Google AI and 3 minutes of “research”. It gets tiring, and it’s extremely annoying at times. Sorry if I sound PO’d, at this point I don’t know how to respond to this type of thing.
Hey Larrin! I am actually not sure where he got the idea that I was using superficial on blades from. I have tested a few razor blades out of curiosity and made little posts about them. But no knife blades have been tested with superficial, however I absolutely have the ability to do so.
I am normally very polite, and will definitely be polite going forward. My general attitude about this project has been very positive, as can be seen on Reddit with my posts. I also am not super interested in this platform, so if I get banned, so be it. I won’t lose any sleep over it. Being discredited out of the blue definitely ticked me off, and I reacted as I felt necessary. I will apologize to the supermod in question if he chooses to extend an olive branch of sorts, but not until then. If this platform is interested in my testing, then I will begin posting here as well. Thanks dude!
Let's get past the drama. No one is threatening to ban you...we are all interested in facts. If you are civil in your discourse, there will be no issues here.
Sounds good to me. I will make a thread (when I figure out how this site works, lol) and post my website and whatnot for the forum to see. Sorry for the early morning drama, I felt attacked for no reason.
Funny enough, I had this question yesterday over on Reddit. I’ve actually had several people say they were sending me a CRK…then not send it. Something about those CRK’s makes people nervous to send em my way
. I’m sure I’ll get a few eventually though.
That was my mistake. I was just going by one instance of Hinderer & it was mostly aimed at Strider's low score. My apologies.
Thank you! We’ll see about sticking around. I’m very much so not a fan of the overreaching moderators. Reddit has been good to me so far, by letting me post my results without interfering mods. So we’ll see!Welcome to the forum, stick around, post some info. Plenty of interested people, that would like to see it.
I don't disagree.
Dude, please chill. BF isn't the unmonitored playground that Reddit is, which is a large part of why many of the Reddit folks can't handle it here. Immaturity isn't tolerated like there. Act like a grownup and all will be fine. There is a set of rules, just follow them and you will not run afoul of the mods. Nobody will have any issues with your data, but again, keep the emotions out of it.
Noted! I appreciate the input
