You know I have not been a member for long here and nor have I posted much, but I have read much. I will be honest and say that I like Cold Steel products not because of what they say, but because I own them and have used them. After reading this thread and a few others I see how fake this forum and few of its members are.
Many of you criticize Lynn Thompson for his advertising methods saying he lacks class, but I see that much of the people posting here are no different. Such hierocracy...
I also read a lot of anger posts rather than criticism post which leads me to believe bladeforums and few old school members have other agendas.
I have read many great posts on this forum, but at the same time I don't see this forum being legit in many ways.
I originally joined this forum because I genuinely wanted to discuss knives and my passion for them. I think bladeforums originally started out with good intentions and genuine passion for knives, but over time it has moved away from that.
I think it's tragic that few old school haters have really taken the joy out of knives.
I know that many of you will find this post offensive and my apologies for that. At the same time I really would like to thank the most of you for your posts, I really enjoyed reading them. As for me I see that I do not belong in this community, for my hobbies and passion is in judging knives not people.
And yes I will join Cold Steel forums, Spyderco forums, Benchmade Forums, Busse forums, Knife Test forums, knives.com etc.
