Gentlemen,
today I have had this post reported to me, meaning that the person concerned does not think that some of the posts on this thread are relevant to knives. I had not previously followed this thread but today I was obliged to and I have to agree. There quite often is a lot of lighthearted banter on the threads and that is all to the good, it promotes a sense of comradeship because after all if you cannot rip the urine out of your mates, who can you, and I am as guilty as the next. However there are times when it strays over the line and this is one of them, so now it stops.
I don't care who started it, and I do not want to see any attempts at clearing your own name or placing the blame on anybody else posted on here. Bear in mind that running this web site is not our wage paying employment, we do it because we like stalking and we like being able to give stalkers, new and established the chance to share their knowledge etc. So I can do without wasting my time playing referee, please behave as responsible grown ups and don't get the ref involved.
Malcolm has asked you nicely and now I am being blunt about it, stop it, remember that as referees we do have red cards.
John.
