I guess you are referring to my post I made because fishin1635 followed mine with a post. I was never mentioned in this thread previously and have never been labeled a flipper by name anyway. I only spoke up because of the comments about people that primarily use the exchange and don't participate in the other sub-forums. I don't sell knives on ebay or AAPK. I have resold knives on the exchange just as many of you have as well. I was only trying to shed some light on why some of the newer members here, like myself (1yr) came to find the exchange very helpful in acquiring knives that are hard to find otherwise. If you don't want to sell to me, that's fine and if I am put on some members "do not sell to" list, then that's fine with me also. I can't control what others think or do. I didn't just find this thread, but when it changed from flipping to changing the rules to not allow newer members the opportunity to use the exchange unless active in other areas, I gave a different opinion. But I guess that is discouraged here.
This just comes off as "I want to be able to buy up knives from Bladeforums without being a contributing member of the community, and don't like the turn this is taking where it's being suggested that people should actually be contributing members of this forum before they can snap up a bunch of knives, especially worrying since a senior admin of this board already refused to sell to me in a public fashion since I tried to call him out on it and got smacked instead."
Run on sentences, distasteful but useful in some cases.
