LOl posts like that make me laugh......

Not with you; at you......

Can I do roll eyes now?

Pick on, slate, slag off, and generaly attempt to belittle as much as you like. Shows how pathetic this got really.

Believe me; I've faced far much worse and without a keyboard protection screen.

NLW you are trolling. Give it up and give everyone a break.

I'm halfway tempted to remove some posts and keep the thread just as a tidy introduction of the new forum.
It doesn't need this aggro associated with it from day one.

I don't know your name, I only know you as Nolightweight,and from your previous comment you are masculine..........a He.

It appears you have a problem tonight.
Please take it elsewhere.

This thread was to introduce a new forum, it would be appreciated if it could be returned to that intention.

I agree. It would be appreciated if it was to return to that intention.

I wish them very well.

PS No problems here. Didn't see one in the first place.

They banned one top US dealer because his name was Stabber and wouldn't change it - even though his name is Stabber!? His website is Stabber and he is known throughout the world of knife as Stabber...but they still banned him wit no discussion....is that a good reason?

I think it is yes (there was discussion, he was given the opportunity to pick a different name, but he refused), but we are not really here to criticise BritishBlades moderating policies are we? On the point of banning people, perhaps ...and I'm trying to ask (of anyone in a position to give an authoritative answer) this as nicely as possible ...you could explain to me why Ron Labella, owner of Jerzee Devil, was banned earlier? He made a perfectly reasonable post asking why content had been stolen from his knife forum and used on this new site? He had his posts deleted and was immediately banned. There were at least six other people banned for asking the same question. Not for being rude, or argumentative, but simply for asking why intellectual property was being ripped off.

I was going to join myself and ask the very same question with regards to BritishBlades (the whole site is a blatant BB rip-off), but obviously, my feet wouldn't touch the ground.

:rolleyes:

So it seems every forum on any subject I join has 'politics' and agro.

Of all them I thought bushcraft would be a place of happyness !

All the forums need to be careful.

We had a strong group of like minded people over the forums with similar interests. The foundations of what was built is being pecked away at by somebody or something and eventually the whole shebang going to come crashing down around your ears with the bushcraft and knife using groups fragmented. What we have won't come back.

Now, it is a fact that someone has it in for knives it is also a fact that when a group is strong and organised it has the ability to fend off petty attacks and restrictions by just the voice of the people. The people have the power and always have had.

There has been a concerted effort by certain government agencies to break down that strength and unity going on for a long time and for numerous things. These people are known as shills. I believe there are some on this forum and BB and all the other forums where there is strength and unity. It is a threat to what they want, they corrupt and cause tension. it has been happening more and more on here and elsewhere because we the people fall for it and bite. When the real attack on knives comes there will be nothing to stop it because we will all be arguing over whos copied who or whos said this and that and before you know it........BANG no more bushcraft or BB or UK blades or BCL. What the hell you all going to do when its too late? Jack **** thats what because the time for fight has long passed and were all sunk.

A quote that seems to be taking effect here.

"and many strokes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the hardest timbered oak"

Stand together people in the interest of keeping what we have. If you want to keep it that is. So what if we bicker a bit, as long as we are together for what we believe in then there is still room for disagreements on a personal level. Thats life. But do not lose the way.

Ok let me just get this straight in my head, there are, dark/secret governmental forces called 'shills' on this and other forums whose aim is to cause discord and division, and thus keep ‘us’ from uniting?

Very true. Just look at the huge knife industry action that swung into action when there were threats of new restrictive knife legislation in the US - a massive effort was taken and huge popular support given which looks like it will succeed.

What do we do when we are faced with the same restrictive legislation? Preach to the converted here and on other related forums and do little else. Of course there are those who will write to their MP's, sign pettitions etc. but I would guess it is less than 10% of the knife community that bother.

Where ever you get more than one person, you will get conflict - thats ust human nature. But there should be a collective strength and unity around the camp fire that transcends that and if we can capture it we will all be the better for it.

'Shills' are nothing new, they've been around for a very long time. Another name is 'plants'. Basically someone who pretends to having nothing to do with a seller or organisation and through manipulation gets others to act or do things. Think of market stalls or the wild west movies you may have saw where someone is selling a potion that cures baldness, someone in the crowd claims it worked for them, that person is really the sellers assistant or something. They'd be called a shill. Nothing sinister about it. As to the statement that the government has them working in forums is a different question. Personally I'd have thought they'd have more important things to do, besides why bother when rampant paranoia does the same job...:p (Not saying anyone here is, btw, just pointing out the obvious)
