Why all the MANTIS Hate???

When you start talking about a knife company sending you confidential emails and coming to the conclusion that your militia has a traitor, I would recommend that you stop and ask yourself one question: how the hell is anyone supposed to take this stuff seriously?

Answer: you can't and, by extension, no one's going to take your knives seriously either.
 
I've been out of BF for a while. Is Mantis the new Dark Ops and Cold Steel? In the words of an English television policeman, "What's all this then?"
 
At this point it doesn't matter if mantis knives are the greatest thing sliced bread or the greatest thing for slicing bread, their spamanation campaign combined with the continued goofiness of some of their proponents (just what is going down and where anyway?) has pretty much made them a laughing stock on this board. Where is all the hate coming from? Well, it's pretty much coming from the brain of Mr. West who brought it upon himself. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity... but they just might be wrong.

I think your first post in this thread, combined with your post count and join date shows otherwise.

Methinks you need to look up the word "contradict".

A fellow Ron White fan!

Getting the popcorn....
 
Yeah the owner is real cool sending out spammers to forums. A class act.:barf: typical of the type of behavior found in the knife world.:eek:

Now there is a person I could look up to and a company I want to support.:barf:

How many knife companies do you know of, where the owner and CEO of the company will take the time to deal with you personally? This guy will talk to any of his customers about anything, he's a really great guy.

I actually know quite a few, and guys like Sal Glesser (Spyderco's President & Founder), as one example, obviously doesn't feel the need to call himself "the Colonel," give fans of his company goofy names like "the Spyderco Minutemen," and organize spam campaigns on the forums. Instead, Sal (and others mind you) actually participates in forum discussions. Oh, by the way, I've never seen or heard of Sal calling anyone a "loser," unlike what one of our members said he was called by your General, the "really great guy." ;)

For some reason, when you guys talk abouth your "militia," an image like this comes to mind:

So, if I ever look in my rear-view mirror and see this:

Exactly the response I expected from a bunch of mall ninjas. Talk trash all you want. That's all you can do.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA .... Look, someone from the "Manti Militia" is accusing others of being "mall ninjas"! This post gets my vote for best unintended humor of the week.
 
3G you are killing me, I gotta stop laughing!!!

The day it happened:

When it goes down, where will you be
will you have a Mantis and a pink Humvee
Will Jared West command you, will he be your leader
wearin 5.11's and a white wife beater
will your boots be polished, all nice and spit shined
will you whip out your Mantis when you save mankind
Mall Ninjas are bad, a bunch of trash talkin pests
There will be bloodshed when they meet Jared West
When it all goes down on that fateful day
will you have a Mantis and a pink Segway
and when the dust does settle, what a day to remember
all will sign up to be Militia members...........

Boom, chuga, luga, boom, mantis moo
