I don't care if you stay or leave. You do need to stop wasting bandwidth by posting so many erroneous topics. It is like you are just posting to post.

That's it. I vote you should just leave a.s.a.p.

Expect me to ignore you from now on.

Just take slow deep breaths.
Your posts seem to indicate that your trying to live your whole life in just a few minutes. Just slow it down a touch.

A wise man once said that if you have something important but controversial to say, say it tomorrow. If it is really is important, it will still be important tomorrow (unless the message is "your house is on fire <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> ).
This bit of advice has saved me much embarisment in the past.

Ya'all ever heard of freedom of speech, very unique concept!

Yog,

You are right, wise words. Thanks. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

At the end of it all, the kid will decide whether he stays or leaves but, since akbell mentions freedom of speech, I think krazie or anyone else, for that matter, should not overexercise their freedom of speech just to flame others in this forum.

Remember the Caleb incident a few weeks back. He overexercised his own freedom of speech, and many of us decided to ignore and outcast him. Personal freedom ends where you step on someone else's personal freedom, and when you become offensive to others.

Now back to Spyderco business. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

... Well put Marauder, Yog and Kahz.
kurtis... Maybe the name "krazie"kurtis says it all. Hopefully not! Maybe you will mature and learn to only post interesting posts and not respond to posts when you have nothing to offer. The choice is yours to stay or leave... as it is our choice to pay attention to you or ignore you. If you choose to stay, take some of the advice above and guess what... we'll both enjoy it.

Kurtis,

The fact that you even asked the question is an indication that you understand the your quickness to jump into the forum doesn't always produce desired results.

Please stay on the forum and continue to exchange and learn. I only wish I were smart enough to say what Yog said.

This forum is for all who love knives (and in particular, but not restricted to Spyderco knives.

You'll probably have better than fifty years to make your thought known.

"Take a deep breath..."

Everyone on the forum is assumed to be a good person. As a result, they all deserve to be treated with coutesy and respect. You should expect no less for yourself.

One way or the other, you pay for your tools!

Stay and learn, read old topics, read new ones, often you will learn more from listening than speaking(or writing), I was on various forums for months before I started posting, picked up the etiquette and rules of the road first. Gadfly gives good advice.
