Guys - Let's not forget that this IS the ScrapYard, where mutual respect is expected and afforded to all Dogs, including the Owners! Dan has simply asked to be treated fairly and given the chance to resolve any problems BEFORE it is posted on the forums, thereby causing unwarranted concerns. WE expect to be treated fairly, shouldn't he?!?
Vic -Horn Dog- meant no harm in his review, although he should have contacted Dan first. We all enjoy and appreciate his testing and reviews, including Dan. When I spoke with Vic on the phone he said that he regretted ever posting about his HC, and that he tried to explain that he abused his blade. I met Vic at Blade last year, and I can tell you that he is a man of his word!
As far as being banned is concerned, neither ColdOne or I approach the subject lightly. We both try to take at least 24 hours - a "cooling off" period, before we take any actions, and even then we consult each other about the problem involved. The only person I banned was the result of his cussing me out after I warned him about using the forum and private messages to berate and bad-mouth fellow forumites. That guy has a REAL problem! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
From now on, let's all remember that mutual respect is appreciated and expected here. If anyone has a problem with a knife, give Dan a chance to take care of it first! Most of us have expressed our appreciation for Dan's approach to business - "Superior performance to price ratio". Let us show him the respect he deserves! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom
