Ball washing is to give excessive flattery to one's
boss, or to be a suck up. It originated in golf.

Conspiracies abound!I think you know
I've explained myself twice. It's ok if you don't understand.I tried to give you a chance to explain it. Your backpedaling isn't going well. Not that it matters... the choir will sing your praises here. So it doesn't matter.
I would say I am no follower. I have little interest in the models SK! is producing at the moment. And I've yet to defend any wrong they've done to anyone. Troll? again very subjective... seems to come down to what room you're in. You could accurately call me self-serving. I did get what I paid for. It's up to everyone else to handle their own business.
Again, I've not diminished anyone's loss at the hands of SK!. Nor have I defended any wrong they've done. And I've stated repeatedly that anyone done harm by SK! has every right to be unhappy and seek to be made whole. Your "ball washing" comment is certainly what we are discussing at the moment. But it's only one of many like it from the choir.
Now see... that's all I was asking. Thanks.
As far as trolls go, Infi-Del Fet and the other Abject whatever are horrible at it. I was waiting for a real zinger, Never happened.
Fet a del and Abject, don't quit your knife making job.
And I disagree with that assessment. Seems "Trolling" can be very subjective.
Since they’ll never abandon the cash cow of the preorder, the only correct answer is “never”.Side bet, how many pages will we hit before Survive actually makes good on all their preorders?
There are no wrong answers.
Then why not stick to those places where your feelings are less likely to get hurt?Right... get out of your church. It's really just some of the opinion forums that shelter such poison pills and hurt BF's rep. The Exchange is just fine. And plenty of the Maker Manufacturer boards are just dandy.
That's what I thought.
So S!K is just fine and dandy because you had to threaten a charge back to get your knife? That doesn't track.Correct. I left myself some form of protection. Everyone should always do that. As a result I was either going to get my money or my purchase. And I got my purchase. Took longer than I'd like. But I got it.
You are confused. My feelings aren’t hurt. But I certainly would be guilty of trolling had I displayed some of the behavior so readily available from the choir in this thread. I’m just pointing it out.Then why not stick to those places where your feelings are less likely to get hurt?
That's what I thought.

The fact that you and that other tool think any of what they do is OK is just beyond the spirit of BF. We are a knife community looking out for each other. I'd never let a friend give a scammer a damn penny if I could help it. You turds are encouraging it because you were able to strongarm product out of them.
The weed doesn't just relax your body, but your logic and morals as well.

I can agree there. Make smart choices and protect yourself. Part of that is researching small companies and finding threads like this to see it's not a smart choice.Yes I know… I’m no True Scotsman. You guys like to put words in people’s mouth. I’ve never said once that anything SK! Does is “OK”. With the exception of having made a few knives I really like. I’m ok with that. Perhaps others should protect themselves when making purchases as I did. That way if things don’t go well… there’s a safety net.
And what's the crap with " I got mine, it's on other people that order to figure out how to get their stuff" ... For real? Paying for an item IS the thing you're supposed to do as a customer. Figuring out how to get what you paid for will never be acceptable. Act as irreverent as you want about it, but you are objectively wrong.
The funny part here is that you don’t even support S!K, you just want what they can provide you. You’re here just to bark about your big fat empty stance. what a joke.Wrong… is a very subjective term.
