"flowery bullsh*t"
RWS, do you really think that this guy would do an about face like that? From the beginning he manipulated (with words) the listing, the original post (with BS words) and now the conclusion (with more BS words). I consider you a brother RWS and believe me would like to think that we've made a difference in a young mans outlook in life but believe me his guy never made the CALL, he has and always been fxcking with our heads because he can.
Dino, if what you're saying is true, all I can say is wow. I'm glad you got your money back.
Spyfan must be one f'd up dude. Scary stuff.
This is a continuation of the original thread decidedly too longwinded as determined by the OP here:

.....with the beads of sweat falling off the cheeks, the weight of rusty, thick links connecting the anvil to the ankles with the label printed "Banhammer" emblazoned with silver, what once was a large gait has now become a tiny meager side-step. As the seagulls' sh-t is shaken off the face of the weary soul, he recognizes it wasn't the shouts of the pirates behind him which take turns waving their swords (some damascus and others S30V) pushing centimeter by centimenter not-so-gently penetrating the flesh of the back through the torn clothes. Nor was it the smell of gunpowder mixed with the spewing of sea spray wafting under the nose. It wasn't the thwank of the plank or the binding of hands but rather something entirely different. It was the ever so quick glances at a lifeboat being exposed in and out of the fog even for only a moment below. Then gone again and the dark waters suddenly look more darker than had previously. The thought of sinking into the cold blackness only to watch the last bit of bubbles rising up as fish swim by signifying one's last moments. And so the memories replay, the veil slightly lifted as the eye patch suddenly became transparent. What is revealed to the sea-farer is what was there all along in plain sight. What once was thought to be a Pirate ship with skulls and crossbones decorating every flag is now transformed into what it was evermore, a Naval ship. A naval ship with a code of ethics, honor, and integrity. Perhaps even understanding and forgiveness.
Mr. Kalaitzidis,
I would like to offer you a sincere apology on behalf of myself for the part I played in resulting where this transaction went awry. I won't clutter up this thread with re-stating my mistakes but please know that I take responsibility for my part in the matter. I never had any intention, ever, when the listing was placed or afterwards to decieve, "swindle", "scam" or what-have-you by untintentionally listing or not listing something. Not to you personally or any other potential buyer. All this talk of honor on my part and yet I would postpone the initiation of displaying it until the next transaction? How then could it be true honor. It was true "pretzel logic". So with everything said, I would also like to set this right and do the right thing. Not for the sake of redemption from inofficial banishment on the Exchange nor for any chance to preserve a reputation. Reputation, shmaattion! The change of heart symbolically expressed in the intro above came from a true realization of being true to one's self. I couldn't be happy with my self if I didn't step up and do the right thing, regardless if I felt mistreated initially. I hope we both learned a little something for this in that we both had a hand in how it turned out (my argueably more than you). Nonetheless I already expressed my views about it in the previous post so my peace is said. Regardless, the more proper course of action honoring the Forum Policy Rules and in a sense, the blade community as a whole, would have been to offer a refund in the beginning when you first requested (ahweeem demanded'it. In all honesty, I can understand how you were just reacting possibly to what you believed was someone trying to "swindle" you. Maybe you have been swindled in the past as I have once.
By now you should be getting an e-mail saying funds are being deposited into your account (or something to that nature). Also some extra money was sent to cover the return shipping of the knife to me as well. I hope you accept my apology. I would like to apologize to those new or even longwithstanding members who viewed this thread and somehow as a result of it had any additional hint of doubt as to the security of buying and selling on Bladeforums. Is it the most safe and secure forum with the most trustworthy, honorable members? Not sure, but from my past good experiences, they have been nothing but positive. Best of Luck and I wish no ill' will.
Regards,

My first thought was to wait and not reply to the thread until confirmation from Dino. When SPY singled me out as the person who helped him change his mind I guess my common sense attitude ( yeah right, common sense :jerkitwas to give him the pos the benefit of the doubt and respond in kind before Dino could confirm Spy's about face.
I feel like a total naive dick for trusting this pos for even one second, forget the fact that I wasn't smart enough to see through his bs and then proudly posted an "attaboy" for him......f**k me, I swear
