I think everybody needs to get out more instead of spitting fury into the PC over a simple little email, haven't you got more important things to think about? My god, the man didn't murder anybody. I get loads of spam, who knows where they get my address, quite frankly I don't care - I hit delete or filter them out, problem solved. I didn't get spammed by bushcraftmag because I read the rules and entered the competition. The level this has got to is absurd.

Perhaps if Simon had contacted Tony directly offering up his side of the argument Tony would have allowed it to be published on the forum, rather than posting a thread which was, as has been pointed out, filled with far more advertising than any other commercial company is allowed on this forum he didnt see fit to do that. At the time he posted the thread there was no open discussion of the Bushcraft magazine on this forum as Tony had locked it when accusations of spam first started to be made!

To be fair i dont think the post was there to advertise, just to put his side over, the links were to the info he was refering to.

?Mostly, people get KFd or ignored if I'm getting wound up with their approach. I tend to respond rapidly to postings. Things degenerate into a slanging match. Easiest thing to do is not respond to postings that annoy you at the time.
Easiest way of doing that is to use the provided facilities.
You tell folk so they know why they don't get a response. As I said earlier, as far as I know spoony's a good guy. He's interested in bushcraft, is involved with trying to get some woodland for people to practice bushcraft in, and posts here and on another well-regarded bushcraft site. For these things, I admire him.
He seemed to be suggesting that the reason for the fuss is competition between bushcraft organisations. I felt sensitive about this, because I posted the start of this thread. Why? Because I felt the reply on British Blades smacked of someone trying to muzzle a bit of debate... and I didn't like it. I have no other motives, veiled or otherwise. I felt inferences were being drawn that were unfair.
I don't suppose he'll cry 'cos some sad Highlander doesn't want to see his posts for a bit
Maybe the purpose was not to promote the magazine, but it is still far more publicity than other companies are allowed. However, I think those who would have been potential customers before this business should be informed so perhaps a message on his website???

I agree that we should get out more and do stuff, well put mate!
BUT Nevertheless I hate these suckers trying to make money out of everything and now we even got people spamming us with Bushcraft related matters.
For a year now I could see people coming and going here to the forum to make money and it creates everytime problems. I am surly not involving myself with such a Magazine.
Its funny, already in the bible we find people trying to make money with stuff other people love. Didnt the otherwise peacefull Jesus got out the belt and beat the crap out of them. (If I remember right...LOL) Well, I guess we should line up beating the **** out of the next guy trying to make a cheap buck on us and trying to threaten us with the law. What a bull_**** I am sick of it.
cheers

OK we all said some stuff, bottom line is i dont think the guy deserved the slagging off he got here. Whether right or wrong, lets get back on track, and use this site for what its here for. Bushcraft. No hard feelings you orrible lot.
Don't forget all the publicity the magazine is now getting through being ranted and raved about in this thread...ScottC said:

Well said Spoony, this thread isn't really going anywhere. I might add a comment in a bit but for now I'll close it.

I agree with you completely. The whole issue had moved on and "almost" died a death, but then Tony and I recieved emails threatening us with legal action and demanding that all posts referring to "spam" be removed from BB and BcUK.
Kind of bought it back to the boil.
