totally agree - perhaps those who have left a feedback can refrain from leaving further feedback. I'm shared mine so i'll move on too.OK, after taking a moment I decided not to do any active post moderation, because I find this quote quite fitting:
"... I will not drag myself in to this anymore , people know who I am and people know you ..."
I would STRONGLY suggest this thread steers clear off any personal attacks or insults. Keep it focused on your experience with Kev and choose your words wisely. I can fend off rest of the mod team only as long.

Wow. I had forgotten about this. A kid in high school used to yell this at people randomly
You need Jesus.
Lol, I'm pretty sure you're taking the piss here, but Kev overthins every knife. Basically he's destroying every knife that comes to him with no thought of preserving the geometry, grind or profile.Kev is one of the best sharpeners (and polishers) in the USA, maybe the world.. And really well connected in the knife world. I also consider him a friend.
kev has refinished two knives of mine, both were pretty much new and unsharpened, and both came back vastly improved in all aspects. I don’t know if destroyed is the right word, altering maybe, because that’s what people are paying him to do.Lol, I'm pretty sure you're taking the piss here, but Kev overthins every knife.

My impression is that mods can wear their responsibilities in comfort the majority of the time. It is participation in a hobby and community they enjoy. A minority of time is spent making judgement calls on thread/posts in relation to the forum rules. This not relaxing for them... it is work. They have other commitments/passions in life and are fallible like the rest of us. I have sympathy for them if they fall on the conservative side of a judgement and shut a thread down. It is easier for them. It can be mildly entertaining to read through posts in a flame war... but it sounds awfully like work if you expect them to read through it with proper context and decide who is 'right'.My personal view as a mod:
I don't want to steer the discussion of topic, but just to clarify - it is sometimes not easy to find the balance on what content to pull offline. The reason with the previous threads was that it was seen more of a personal personal conflict rather than issue with a business. If this thread stays clear off personal attacks or slander, then you may as well find it here tomorrow.
I've personally handled every knife in Kev's personal kit, and this statement is unequivocally false. Kevin was an essential part of Joe Schrum's, Halcyon Forge, developing the geometry his knives now have, which is some of the best in the world.Lol, I'm pretty sure you're taking the piss here, but Kev overthins every knife.

Did you actually read the OP? @soigne_west's point is that after he posted a sort of lukewarm review on Yelp for the bar, the bartender left him threatening emails and abusive voice messages....I actually don't get what the OPs point is. If I go to a bar, ask the bartender to give me a beer and they just look at me and carry on, I don't crap talk the bar like it's the worse place ever or say "hey you, give me attention so I can have a beer". If you do, good luck with that bartender helping you.
We could go all day with these...
You hang out at better bars than some of us then"Fuuck off" and "I'll fuuck you up" are different things.
Sharing is caring, and can help deter future bad behavior.
Besides, let's just put it this way, if the OP just got a straight answer of "No" then we all wouldn't be having this convo? I'm sure he did cause this all sounds outta wack
Like do you walk into a busybMcDonald's and tell the manager, "give me a hamburger"..."I'm busy helping this other customer"... "I want it now".
GFL with that if you want to have a hamburger
He said in passing something about the bar to another consumer of alcohol. Bartender got wind of the conversation and threatened the first person.I actually don't get what the OPs point is. If I go to a bar, ask the bartender to give me a beer and they just look at me and carry on, I don't crap talk the bar like it's the worse place ever or say "hey you, give me attention so I can have a beer".

I have the screenshots.Wait, I'm confused. Are you saying you're sure OP got a response when OP stated he didn't? What's your source on this?
