Then why did you say it is difficult. 
.
Okay, I can see you want to stick at semantics.
You finally found something you can pick at, and that I find so boring as to be not worth discussing.
Maybe it will not be hard for him at all.
That make you happy?
Maybe his standards will match or exceed yours, and maybe they won't. Pass judgement on him before or after you find out, makes no difference to me either way.
Yes you would have higher standards than I do if you gave the person you wronged (intentionally or not) multiples of their money back. Yes I consider that a good thing.
So then I would be better than you, were I to do that? Why not just raise yourself to my standards, and be equal? Why not just do everything you possibly can to begin with, and then some? How much is enough?
Quite a few you have stated in on uncertain terms exacly what 8 legged needs to do, based I presume, on what they would do, or would like to think they would do.
That's pointless, and has no bearing at all on what 8 legged needs to do. He'll do whatever he feels he needs to do, or he won't. YOu can't force him to do anything.
In posting that do you not see that you contradict your statement that it would be difficult. Seems pretty clear to me.
No, it's not a contradiction at all. If you can't understand it, I obviously can't explain it.
There is no set standard for every single person, for every single situation. It's just not that black & white, and certainly not in this situation.
What he might have done at the beginning can indeed be different than what he will do now.
People do change, their perceptions change, and most of the time they move on.
Now about question number two above? You know the one about posting your agenda in threads that already have traffic and controversy. I can respect the fact that you do not want to see people piled on for no reason. (I do not have respect for the way you post that agenda).
What is it with this "agenda" you think I have? I ignored it until now, but really, what is it you are trying to say here?
I have no agenda, no ulterior motive, and no hidden meanings. I say exactly what I mean, and if you do not understand it then say so and I'll probably try to explain it better.
I see the usual people piling on someone, repeating after each other like parrots, and I make it clear that I do not agree.
That's not an agenda.
I also think it is good when someone is not straight forward in a deal that it becomes known
Yes, I do to. That is why I acknowledged that this forum does serve a purpose.
It is human nature for that type of thing to be condemned by the victim and friends. You paint the picture at first that it is a massive B.F. problem then expand it to other forums.
No, it's you and one other who are saying I make it out to be a massive problem.
If it were indeed a massive problem, I would be posting quite a bit more than I do now. That much at least should be obvious, and without question.
Trouble is that you make the problem bigger than it is. (In short, it is there, it is not as big as you make it out to be, by where you post your thoughts you inflate the perception in others.
Yes, most people are so dumb it would never occur to them, unless of course I plant the idea in their heads. Just more pathetic morons, like the ones who emailed me?
And again the irony..you condemn me for making sweeping generalizations about large groups of people, and then there you are doing it yourself.
How do you work all that out?
Question is again. Why do you do it? (Please do not deny that you do the results have been too obvious no matter what the intention is.)
Are you serious? How many times do have I have to explain why I post, before the simple concept is grasped?
I post for the same reason ppl post crap like, "me too", or "I could not have said it better myself", or anything else along those lines...because I feel the need to make my opinion known, and to point out how lame someone is being.
I post for the same reason you continue posting in this thread.
People don't mind nastiness, as long as everyone is clear on who to be nasty to, and it's not them on the recieving end.
Take a look at the recent Strider threads to see how that works.
Like I said, bladeforums is, for the most part, a great place, and one of the better forums on the net, but it's not perfect, it never will be, but that's no reason to try to ignore what's wrong with it and just make out like it's no big deal.
That is except for a certain point. In fact some unscrupulous sellers, by that I mean unprincipled lowlife (interject favorite derragatory adjective here), advertised the clones, illegal knockoffs of registered or patented designs, in their titles using the copyrighted name of the original. But to my knowlage did not claim the knife to be an original. But, in this instance a clone, illegal knockoffs of registered or patented designs, of a Boker was not sold as a Boker. A Boker was advertised and a Boker was recieved. The only error was, as I understand it, the country in which the knife was produced.
