Ok guys, as for now, i am going to stop participating in the PIF thread.
I had said originally to a couple members, if the dive knives dont move in a week, i will replace them with something else. I will post up something else as promised when the week is up if they havent been claimed. Ive enjoyed my time with you all, and have made some good friends. I feel lucky. Its been a blast, and I thank you for that.
I may have a couple other PIFs to post up as well, as a farwell.
Sincerely,
Sharp & Fiery
Please dont do this on account of my tirade. I am not mad at you, but i am mad about some things I see on here.
I have been on this site awhile, and I have seen some graet things, and some shitty ones.
I believe my caution at jumping in was misinterpreted as shit stirring.
This will sound crazy but I am pretty sensitive and I am over thinking the balance of the trade, I would feel shitty if someone thought I had taken advantage.
Maybe I just cant wrap my mind around this, and I didnt mean to scorch a good guy, and by all accounts sharp and furry is a great guy.
I didnt, and never do suffer the perception of being called out, and I reacted.
It was late for me and I had been pming a couple guys about some issues then I read sharps post.
I am sorry i flipped, if you guys want me out of the thread I will stand back and observe, I am more of a sharpening, steel, custom knife guy on here.
I have upset the apple cart here a bit, maybe I cant handle this and should go back to my vanadium cave and shut the fuck up.
I like helping guys that deserve it, or could use a boost, but I have dealt with many weasels in my line of business and a fox in the hen house creates a lot of damage in a hurry
Bottom line, sharp and fiery if I pissed you off that badly I will cease posting in this thread, it intrigued me, and it still does but I dont have to be here.
I will say, Mike has been doing a great job with this thread, and was nice enough to hook me up with a membership,
and he has patiently explained stuff to me more than once.
I would never have met him if I didnt peek at this thread, and he is a good egg.
There are very few long timers on this thread, maybe they are staying away from the drama, but it interests me and I promise I will post up a knife soon, One knife.....
Am I sorry? Yes, my anger was a bit misdirected, would I do it again, oh hell yeah, in a second.
That is it, I am gonna drag my entitled ass off to look at the wonderful custom fix blades offered by our talented makers.
