it's a discussion forum. I'm discussing. if you don't like what I'm saying there's an ignore function; I highly recommend you make use of it. I myself use it as a convenient shortcut to ignore what you write in the knife-centric parts of the forum where I dont personally value what you have to say on that subject. it's not even personal just don't share your perspective on knives.
but at the end of the day, I'd like to see KKF be a place that better represents the wide variety of folks who want to get into the hobby. I think the refusal to engage in the why behind why this place has seen such decline since I first joined is itself contributing to it. I'd love to see some folks who don't look like myself, or maybe more accurately my dad, hanging around and discussing knives and especially JNats. something that will never happen if folks don't wise up to how their actions contribute to that.
and you know, if that's how it's gonna go, OK I can accept that. but no, I do not think I am keen to let the folks doing that act like theyve done nothing to contribute to it do so without comment.
same as my line in the flipper thread; if you are thinking about doing something that might get you criticized, you either need to accept that criticism or not do it.
