I realize that you have no choice but to make this claim. No intelligent person would do otherwise, since an outright admission would create all sorts of difficulties for you. Can I buy a Strider from your knife store?
You mistake that I'm excusing Mick Strider and Duane Dwyer. I'm not. Mick deserves what he gets. Duane probably, but the necessary lines are only half drawn to show me that he did not do what he has claimed.
I'm simply pointing out that the group of you continue on with your childish back and forth, one minute recommending the the FBI be contacted based on internet posts supposedly made by a felon who may or may not have had his firearms rights restored, the next grandstanding about integrity and business ethics using the full power of UBB's formatting features, so that the end product looks like it was pasted together from random newspaper clippings.
I just don't believe you've had much impact on Strider's sales. The Tactical Forums threads have been going on for years. The one you started here should have gotten the word out well before Blade. I just don't see evidence of people turning away from their product.
As for my being new here, and who started what thread: a single human can operate more than one account here. I don't know any of you from a can of paint, you could all be the same person for all I know.
Wow, you are just chock full of trolling, aren't you?
What's going to be your next tactic, I wonder? Perhaps you'll say I'm jealous of his success?
You seem to have this difficulty reconciling the facts with what you "know" - after all, you "knew" I did this in order to "impact right around Blade '07" despite my not even being involved in the discussions that brought all of this to a head. After all, I wasn't involved in the threads on Tactical Forums, or the "Cold Steel Rip Off" one until page 30, and even then until after Michelle urged people to dig for themselves.
So, again, you are just trying to scapegoat me for whatever woes people have.
Remember this?

You obviously want to harm their business and you've failed every time you've tried.
You obviously have the wrong person, Mister. I haven't called for a boycott, said people shouldn't buy Strider Knives, or anything else that could "harm their business". I've already illustrated a number of fairly simple things I could do if that was even my remotest intent. That doesn't mean I can't call a liar a liar though. By and large I've stayed out of Strider Squabbles, even to the point where Strider Knives still had a forum here for a year after I was no longer a dealer for them. So please, pretty please, if you are going to make wild accusations, at least make them hold a slight amount of water.
I do have to laugh at your act, though. Yeah, we're really supposed to believe that you are just some uninterested third party, who just happens to have followed this since (in your words) I "outed" Mick, and uses terms like Striderettes (I completely forgot about that one, thanks for reminding me), and that I don't sell Striders in my store.
Folks, it's a rare treat when you get to see the miracle of character assassination in direct action. You see, 711432 doesn't have to back up anything he says. He doesn't need to offer proof. Anonymous allegations, proclamations and innuendo is all that's needed.
Sure, you aren't "excusing" Mick and Duane. Your only purpose here is to take shots at their detractors. You'd be more effective if you weren't so transparent.
for rage. Your second was to try and deliberately associate calling bullshit on Mick's lies (and now probably Duane's as well) with an assault on the Strider Knife Company.
