But because Strider lied about his military service he is seen as the damn devil.
This isn't accurate.
Strider lied about his military service, combat experience, firearms, and a host of other topics for a period of almost a decade. He used these lies to advance his designs as if they were superior, based on this fictional experience. He traded on the blood & deaths of actual veterans to push his agenda. He pushed his massive amount of experience in special operations when in reality he was a discharged private E-1 who went AWOL.
He slandered / libeled other veterans repeatedly, to the point where he got sued & had to admit that he was a liar in court documents.
Magazine articles stated that he was overseas doing secret squirrel work when reality he was serving time in the federal pen for carjacking.
When called out by a competitor, Strider straight up lied and said he was supposed to be sentenced to Somalia (which is where I had enough and stepped in).
When called on lies, his first reaction was not to be honest and stop, but to continue lying.
His cronies have spread all sorts of additional stories trying to discredit anyone who dares question the BS stories; and even have tried to get people fired from their jobs. Let me repeat that: instead of holding a liar accountable for his actions, groupies tried to get
people fired from their jobs because they dared question Strider's BS. His cronies have been very handy at "spreading the word" to gain publicity or provide bona-fides where no actual history exists. Not surprisingly, several of these cronies & vouchers have now turned out to be fakers themselves, including his partner Duane Dwyer, the "verified" Marine Corps Scout / Sniper with "combat kills" who was actually a Digital Data Technician in the Marines. Fakes vouching for fakes vouching for fakes, getting articles written and spreading lies across the country.
This isn't just "oh he told a tall tale and big deal". This a pattern of behavior that has gone on for years, with a network of people engaging in dishonest and unethical behavior, willingly & otherwise. If you don't understand how bad this is, I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know why Cliff was banned I've read some of his articles at Cutlery Science and he seems to be a very knowledgable fella... one might even say an expert. Hope it wasn't because he dare say Strider was worth a look. But never the less I considered the info and was grateful for it.
This is a hilariously sad attempt to make me look like a bad guy because Cliff got banned for something unrelated. Cliff got banned, quite frankly, because he decided to talk a bunch of crap about this site that had no basis in reality. That's it. You'd be better served by not trying to blameshift and dirty up people you disagree with, and instead focusing on the topics at hand.
