So it's ok to insult a decorated Marine Sniper who served honorably in Vietnam just because he is endorsing a knife? What he is doing may not agree with you, but it in no way calls for him being called a whore.
I do not see where Chuck M's past accomplishments are being called into question in any way. They speak for themselves as far as I am concerned. And do you really mean to imply that this has anything to do with "endorsing a knife".
What I read being called into question is his association with a poser and a now proven poser.
Granted, he may not have known about Duane and time will tell whether or not he will / does sever the endorsement of two posers.
And just in general..... past accomplishments, no matter who you are or what they were.... do not give someone a "pass" or "get out of jail free" card for future choices.
What he does or doesn't do is not my concern.... so whether or not it agrees with me is not in question. FTR, I never called hin a whore. That would not be my choice of words.
I have no idea what Mr. Mahwinny's relationship is with Strider Knives is, so I cannot venture a guess in describing their business relationship. I don't know if his knife endorsement is done to help a friend or for purely financial reasons.
Me either..... ????

Websters ?
I think we can rule out the #1 & #2 definitions, as such this only leaves definition #3. In my opinion, I don't think he is an unscrupulous or venal person just because he endorses a Strider knife.
OK... that's your opinion and you are surely entitiled to it.
I neither condemn or condone Duane Dwyer. I only know a small amount of the story & I don't think it is my place to judge his actions.
I totally condemn what he has done.... no question about it.
But hey, I don't "judge" him either ...cause like you... it isn't my place. That is what the Legal System will be doing... we shall see how it treats him .... most likely.
My complaint here has mostly been with Tamishigiri/Lance. He clearly has an agenda to hurt Strider Knives & anyone who is associated or supports them. He's not here to make posts about the "Truth" he is here to inflict harm. The fact that his posts may contain truth is circumspect to his chance to revel in any Strider Knives misfortune. Right now there are a lot of people hurt over all these accusations & Lance seems to be enjoying their misery.
Whoaaa, BACK UP. You have no way of knowing what his "agenda" may or may not be.... you sir, are only speculating because what he says does not agree with you. It makes no difference who brought this up nor for what reason. None of that changes what the Facts are.
Whether or not Lannce is enjoying himself has nothing to do with it either... so why bring it up?
