This forum has ALWAYS been really good about NOT slandering or taking shots at people... there is NO place for it.
I understand and respect that people have been placed into a bad spot over this turn of events. I am sorry they have been.
But really, nobody knows what Rick's situation is so it would probably be best if the content here stays "positive". We don't need to see anyone's personal communication with the Shop or need to be subjected to running someone down who is not in a position to defend himself.
I REALLY feel as a group this forum is better than that.

I locked the Shop Knews thread and told everyone I did not mind if the subject was carried on and talked about on our open forum, which has been the case. However: If any more direct quotes are posted on here, and I don't give a shit by WHO, with regards to shop information, without consent, this one will be locked and the poster will be issued a temporary "BAN" (& I don't ban anybody) followed by a permanent ban if another post of such manner is posted. Are we clear?! Capt. Chris
Well said James I don’t want to sound insensitive I’m sure I would not be happy either But under the circumstance lets See what the damage is and who has claimed what loss Then once they can be verified Let’s do a Rick Ward Build knife with the benefit going to clear Rich’s name I would pay $20 to buy a chance to win a knife and clear this up There is more to it than Rick’s name It’s the Randall name Sharpi It is this forums name
It’s the name of the accuser the name of all who judge him And all that don’t stand for him
This is a very good point Mike, and one I have been bitching about since the inception of this site. Anyone, I repeat, anyone can come on here and stir trouble, take a couple of snipes. and no one knows who they are.
rick prolly has access to an ip address, but so what? None of the reputable websites, chat sites, or whatever allow anonymity the way this site does.
A fatal flaw IMO and possibly a reason participation is low.
