Update on 9" Talonite review and more advice please!

Fair point! BTW anyone who want to have another go at me (again), think about that before launching more attacks. Paracelcus has warned you once (na na, na naa naaaa!)

Try not to take me to seriously, I don`t and I am always right.

Ummm, General, I think I warned you once too
smile.gif


Let the arguement, fight, whatever it was...go.

Nobody cares anymore. Move on. Find something else to talk about. And please don't mention Me or quote me anymore. I am not on Anybodies side. I'm an equal opportunity offender and enforcer of fair play. But fair play can be rough sometimes.

Don't taunt the boys on the playground expecting the Big Dog to come running to help you. I might just stomp on You for fun

General,
Kinda pushing your luck a little? It's a gone issue. Get on with your life.

I am a moderator on the Shop Forum. On any other forum I will continue to give my opinion and say what's on my mind. You and others constantly bring up the Moderator thing. What's the point?

I even got called a goderator one time
biggrin.gif


 
>>Try not to take me to seriously, I don`t and I am always right.

SIR,ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT?
if i misunderstood you,then ignore this,because it will probably only piss you off.

well,im certainly not any genius,but you are NOT always right.no one is.
i was actually agreeing with your standpoint until i saw this remark.no kind of knife is better than a free knife. this remark is the exact kind of thing that pisses me off.

in the words of tim herman-"you are wrong"

Ohhhhh... GENERAL!
I am SO happy you decided to stay!
I ADMIRE you, OH SO MUCH!

Normally, guys that have huge egos really tuen me off, but there's something about YOU that makes me need to wring out my panties.
<giggle-giggle>

Are you married? If so, are you willing to cheat? While I'd usually say that I'm just in it for the sex, I'm afraid that YOU would truly win my heart and I'd follow you through the fires of hell itself to be in the shadow of your greatness!!!

Love,
Lorena

PS - Don't forgive those that ought to know better. Let them squirm in the dirt like the general Wannabes that they truly are.

I think I love you, I really do!
<Kiss-kiss-tongue-kiss-slurp-suck-ooohhhhhhhh>
 
nice try at goading ppl general but i am through with you and your nonsense

forgive this....(_|_)
 
Dear Private General,

1. I am a Moderator, and therefore, I am blessed with intelligence far beyond that of any mere "member" here at BFC.

2. My IQ hasn't been tested in weeks, but last time, it was 173. I'm quite sure it is higher now due to the fact that I've mind melded with a sperm whale that graduated from Harvard. Harvard is a high school in Boston, or so she said.

3. Your initial request for knives to test was silly. There's not a single member here that wouldn't want knives to test for themselves, and many of them are more qualified than you (and dare I say, MYSELF!

4. You're a tad arrogant. And when I say "tad", I mean emormous. That works in Rugby and hopscotch, but here, it can make people not feel like they wanna snuggle up with you.... even if they're freezing to death in an igloo with no roof, and need you to share body heat.

5. Your condescension (that's the American spelling, leave it alone) is slightly annoying. Kissing arse first, then whining about them after is a thinly veiled trick best left to politicians and democrats.

6. "Apologising" for people who've complained about your posts is not necessary. If those people wanted to be apologised for, they'd azk.

7. Pretending that you and the Illustrious Parcel-Post are arsehole buddies is a childish act, and fools nobody. Parcel-LostnFound is my protege, as well as man servant. When crises arise, he and I don our capes and go forth into the night (if it is indeed night time, otherwise, we go forth into the day, which isn't quite so dramatic) and take care of business. Rumors regarding our sexual behavior are (mostly) 100% FALSE

8. As for Tom backing out of your "deal", my guess is that he realized he was dealing with someone who, as we say in Nevada, "doesn't have both nukes in the silo". To think that one of your tests would involve throwing a blade at a moving car, and calling the blade "Garbage" when it doesn't fly back at you like a boomerang, is not beyond the realm of possibility. As they say, "Genius is next to insanity", and I should know!

9. When thumbing your nose at someone, the proper term to use is "Nyah-nyah Nyah-nyah nyah". I'm surprised that you didn't know that.

10. While we Moderators, Administrators, Movers and Shakers here at BFC encourage people to post their thoughts, ideas, questions and answers, perhaps it would be best if you somehow adjust your posts. Unplugging your keyboard is one way, or, if you feel the need to boast about your intellectual prowess again, you go outside and chew some grass instead. This will save some members here from feeling the need to shove large shards of glass in their eyes, as well as getting you and your head back on the ground.

Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to not hearing from you again.

Hugs, kisses and primal growls, I remain,
VG

That...is TOO funny. I do believe I've just ruptured something
biggrin.gif


General, LIGHTEN UP. The world doesn't revolve around Bladeforums, and people can say what they want. So you tooted your horn, and some people didn't like the tune. So what? Words are just words. Nothing to get bent out of shape over. Don't expect a bunch of grown men to apologize or explain themselves for sharing their personal feelings or views. That's what a forum is for. If you don't want input, then you're in the wrong place. Look around, there's both positive and negative in almost every topic, but it's the original poster that usually sets the tone. Being overly sensitive won't get you far with this crowd.

Sounds like you might get a new girlfriend out of the deal, though

I just spent the last 30 minutes (wasted) reading the Busse thread and this one. Kind of like a train wreck I suppose.

Then, just when I'm nearing the end and ready to add my 2 cents, VG adds my 2 cents in his million dollar fashion that I can only dream of....

Geez. I sent the General a private email after his "I'm glad this has died down" post letting him know I didn't appreciate his little "lecture". The General has claimed in previous posts he is ready to put the whole issue behind him and then he posts this crap, whining about not receiving apologies!
rolleyes.gif


So, you want an apology General? All I can say is I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ever heard of you and replied to any of your idiotic posts. There. You happy now?
rolleyes.gif
I've never been a fan of personal attacks on this forum but lately I've been stooping to lower levels and I'm not too proud of it. So I apologize to others out there (not you, General), especially Paracelsus, for rolling in the mud, but the unbelievable anal temerity of your crap calls for drastic measures. If you want to run your mouth, don't be surprised that there are others who want to stick a sock in it. You've gotten what you deserve. You had a chance to put this behind you and you didn't. You no doubt feel emboldened for a variety of reasons, but General, you obviously made a tactical mistake.

BTW, could you give us a schedule or just an inkling of how much longer you will continue whining? Or will this go in perpetuity?

BTW, VG rules!!!!!
biggrin.gif
I think we should all take up a collection to send VG to England [or is it Wales?] so he can sit down face-to-face with the General and iron out any remaining issues.

Jeff

A set of standards would be general information only. It should include just basic information.
Maybe Rockwell hardness of the blade in general, Blade grind type, flat, hollow, convex, tanto. So on and so on.

As you and everyone can see who the here folks who are hollaring the loudest.
wink.gif


This needs to be done for general public information. The information should be gathered from knifemakers, heat treaters,
And testers who can be trusted for a real NON BIASED opinion.

If we could just start with one basic database of information about knife blade materials as a beginning, the database would grow from that . All we need is a start.

Cliff has a good point. But it does not apply here.
Two knifemakers will have two opinions and make the knife in two different ways.
They will perform different to a degree.

The answer is:
The database is not about knifemakers and how they make knives.
It would be about (common) blade materials in general for now. Thats the difference. It should include some comments about how the material in question performs certain tasks as a blade material in general. There would be NO names attached to the comments.

Testing

As for companies sending knives to testers.
I think unbiased opinions are great as long as the person says nothing about the tests in public without permission. This would stop testers branding a product. This way respect for the product can be gained from real information. Changes in the products performance would be between the company and the tester. This would stop the chest swelling and BS lies that point folks to the products that are BS.

General comments:

I dont review any knives for anyone. But If I purchased a kinfe or was asked to be involved for my opinion, I feel that I can express how I used it (normal) and what I found about the product. This is totally different than receiving a free knife if you tell lies about performance. The other thing is that if you dont have a way of testing the product with the instruments required it might be a good idea to keep my mouth shut.
There are folks that know how to measure and check everything you state.

VG ---- Man I just fell off my chair!!!!!!!!
LMAO!

Hehehehehe! Well you all took me to seriously! I was responding to the ever so kind warning from Hoodoo, thanks for that. If I am disapointed with some, ah well thats my problem. If you cannot see the JOKE in my post, well... ok perhaps it is not best to joke about that... I have moved on, I was being irrelevent and light hearted about it.
biggrin.gif
Come on guys live and let live! I won`t mention it again if you won`t... deal?

Paracelcus I was not trying to get 'fresh' (I think that is the right term?). Warning taken to heart. My post was pointless and a bit of fun, call it a parting shot at myself as well as others.

Well just let me duck before the rounds come flying my way

General,
I think knife testing by consumers is a great
idea. I also think free knives are a great idea. I have viewed your extensive collection, and would like you to send it to me, along with Nemo's Sebenza so that I can test some knives myself.
I don't have very good qualifications though, my grades in school were not very good and my shoe size is bigger than my IQ.
I did work at the Animal Shelter one summer and learned to shovel poop real good.
Could you also send a blank check along with those knives (I'd like to experiment with sharpening devices too).
Thank you for contributing to my learning experience.
I remain,
Chad

Hoodoo it is a Garlic and Silver combo. Lithium was not enough for me, you see the Lupus Garu in me was to strong for anything else. Well the Sebenza works as well. I tried many things, but humble pie still tastes bitter! What your fav poison?
