Holy crap, i was gone for a day or 2 and came back to all this.
First, PLEASE leave this forum up, i enjoy it a lot, had it not been for this forum here at BF, i never would have ended up becoming a Strider convert, never would have bought 4 Strider folders with more, hopefully to come, USN may be a good place, but its definitely not the place new knife nuts, or casual knife nuts go to. BF gives Strider far more exposure and keeps them in the relative mainstream, and in turn, keeps demand for Strider knives high. Dont let one troll ruin this for those of us who really like it here. Like others have said, we're all adults, if the occasional troll rears its head, so what? We make fun of him and when we're done, ignore him and he goes away. It would be horrible if Swensen succeeded in his goals of hurting Strider's business, which i feel surely will be the case if Strider has no presence on BF.
Just my opinion, but i really hope this forum stays right here. And the last thing i want is Swensen to derive any further satisfaction from his trolling which he surely will if he succeeds in getting Strider off BF.
