Chloe, are you a wannabe actor/ress practicing being a character you like here in the home of the high performance cutlery? Even the name "Chloe" makes me think you are someone playing dress up . If you want to talk knives you can certainly do so without trying to play with people. Humans weren't placed on the earth for your amusements. We have people from all stages of life here including well off, older types, some with problems health or other world and the one current thread is they aren't here to be toyed with. Your stay will be a brief one if that is why you are here.
So, stop being "deaconess" or "princess", or whatever else and try being just plain you. You will find you get help and answers a **** of a lot easier. There is a vast amount of collective knowledge to tap into about many things. There's not much you can't do here but manipulation is one that closes doors faster than anything else I've ever seen. Even faster than plain rudeness.
Of course that's that way in the real world too. I suppose that's why folks come online to play. No problem when done at the places designed for that but imagine a small town hardware store where people come to get away and talk tools and stuff.
How much fun can that be for a kid?
Heh!
Mr. Mastiff,
I Don't think I have manipulated anyone here, in fact I know it because I don't practice things like that, it is something I don't like, however I know it when I see it as it is done to me all the time. You would not believe how some men treat myself and other women, it is awful and no fun!
Mr mastiff, why can't I participate in as you say 'tools like a hardware store?' Also, I have never been rude, I was a cheerleader, we are trained to be nice, but the Deacon Posted scary, to a girl photos. At first he scared me. Mastiff, I think you are doing all the things you tell me I did? Which I didn't.
Also, I am a real person, too, and I am just being myself here, because I like it here. I am not a "Princess" as you say, but calling myself Deaconess is all in fun, plus I wish the Deacon will help me learn about my new little hobby. Really, I am a good person, I have never, ever taken any drugs, or pills...just booze and that is from my college days, the worst thing I do is carry a knife in NYC past Tammany hall where all these silly laws and foolishness get it's roots.
At first the Deacon scared me with that gun photo, I thought he was mad at me but, he may be able to look like a big mean brute, however, he has to be a nice man with such a cute little doggie!! And, by the way he is a rather good looking man.
You see I talk a lot, I know that. Dad tells us we are ditzy and dingy, that would be myself and my younger sister, Crystal, she is 22, and attends Wellesley like I did.
I recently gave her some Spyderco's in the colors she likes...now she is hooked too. Last night she had a look at the Deacon and stated she wanted to be the Deaconess, well, I said "No way!" That is my nickname, I am the Deaconess.
So, she agreed to register as Crystal on the forum and she will be Deaconess Crystal, and I will remain Deaconess Chloe.
We really want to have the Deacon take us both by the hand in order for him to dance us through the vast knowledge he has on all things about these knives. To be arm in arm, skip us around all the pages of the forum so we may learn about the metal, sharpening the blades up, those cute little star crossed screws that the knives are kept together with and the plastic material of the colorful pretty handles.
I think I have all the colors of the Lady Bug, Delica, Endura, Man Bug (Gotta love that name)! Crystal has some of them, too.
I also have bright orange Military in G10, whatever that is, (See we need help) a bright orange G10 Manix, another G10 Manix in a beautiful bright pretty blue and a real pretty pink! A cute Dragonfly in a cheerful yellow, and many more.
Maybe you are not used to having any girls around here? Oh, And speaking of Manipulation, just last week at the hotel, the Asst. Manager came running after me yelling miss, oh miss, he was waving a yardstick and tried to measure my dress from the hem down my leg! He said that is too much short and we have standards here. Well, he got my 4" heel stomped on his cheap loafers,and I grabbed him by his tie, and told him he was in big trouble. I have never done anything like that before! The body guard Dad has for us, Vinny, took him aside and fixed his tie, and mindset. He later called to tell me he was sorry. I accepted, then told him you don't go around trying to measure girls' skirts and dresses. He could have wound up at Rikers Island.
The other time I was manipulated was in my junior year at Wellesley. You see, dad is a gun collector, so, I did a paper on the second amendment. One afternoon I was called into the Dean of the history dept., and he asked why I choose the topic I did? My answer was the first amendment allows me to. Then the dean stood up, pointed to the door yelling get out! They don't like firearms at Wellesley. So I have been in those positions, and I never have done that kind of thing to others.
So my sister and I just love these little knives and want to have a new hobby, build a collection and just have fun. We thank all here who would be willing to answer any questions.
We need more bandages here we get cut from these things.
Like, do you think the Deacon will come back here to help his new little friends? We hope so! we like him...he looks like a real man! Also, from what people say he knows everything about Spyderco. Is he the owner of Spyderco? or is it William Henry? I'm confused.
OH! I love the adorable little spider on the knives, he is so cute!! I want to get everything with the little spider on it like hats, t-shirts, stickers well, everything.
Does the Spyderco Spider have a name? He needs a cute name he does have a name, right?
That's all for now,
Thank you Deacon!
Luv, your friends,
Deaconesses Chloe and Crystal
