while i understand your tack, your original statement WAS automatically criticising him without finding out what his "reason" is for owning this knife. it was a blanket statement. all i was saying, and am saying, is that before blanket statements are made, it is prudent to ask questions before committing to the statement.
You are fighting the wrong fight, cheeterbo.

1) This is the internet, specifically a message board on the internet. More specifically a weapons section of a message board on the internet. People come here to discuss weapons. Part of discussion is expressing one's opinion and/or stance. There is zero requirement to inquire as to anyone else's stance prior to stating your own. I will not change my opinion simply because you, or anyone else, dislikes it.

2) I went back and specifically reread every post I've made in this thread. Not a one of em had any direct criticism of the initial poster. If you want to find criticism directed at the poster hidden within criticism of the knife, it is your problem, not mine, as it is unintended. I'm pretty damned straightforward when it comes to these things. If I have an opinion, I don't tend to dance around it.

my point, opinion, post, was that i don't feel anyone needs a reason to own anything if they have the opportunity. you are most certainly entitled to your view, i simply differ.
Where, precisely, did I say that someone "needs a reason to own" anything? Point it out to me. I said, at one point, that I couldn't think of a reason as to why I would own it, but that's the only instance. How about you go back and reread what I posted for the content, instead of what you assume to be the implied message.
