Weird how I've bought a dozen or so knives off here for a few years and the only introduction I made was just as I started to sell. so apparently some or all are respecting the rules while I accept being an example that tried what I never should have.... And for what its worth (not stating for a pitiful excuse- just the honest truth) 2 main reasons for early retirement after 16 years in our beloved ARMY - First, after a point blank gunshot wound where I held 20 something feet of my own intestines for a half hour as I 'm telling people HOW to keep me alive (BTW, 98% of people shot as I was die within 3-5 minutes. I was a Medic so I knew what to do). The Scar after losing 27 feet on guts healed after 6 months (happy not having a colstomy 'shit bag' ). But what NEVER heals from such life threatening violent trauma is the psychological aspect.... I have never been the same since although I try my best to always "Be All I Can Be' as if I can beat the problem that PTSD has aged me another 20 years & continually destroying me. This is MY problem; nobody elses. 2nd reason not serving anymore is as I said "Be all I can be' was the motto when I joined. What is it now? Many of use with 15+ iyears agree that the unwritten motto in the Army today is "every man for himself." I might be wrong, but I could swear I mentioned to bear with me because I dont comprehend/execute as well as others with equal experience. I'm just thankful that now I'm given a little support/help to understand HOW I made the mention of no more selling at all on this site. I willingly want to prove I never intended to to be such a fuck up pissing everybody else off and close account. Because I didnt pull quality security checks with whoever interacted with me and then not requesting/recommending the powers that be on this site to ban them, I failed to be a decent member here. Just think it would've been MUCH easier & setting a better example to 'suspend' account with specific reason/warning-- My bad, Thatwould only benefit me & not the forum. I never expect anyone to understand how life only gets worse & the body deteriorates faster after severe trauma, but if (and I never hope anything bad happens to anybody) if say your kidneys start shutting down, acquire alzheimers, lose a leg from a motorcycle accident, etc but if so, I truly hope you are able to handle the adjustment better than me. Oh yeah, If I was trying to disrespect Jimmy I would have been rather clear so the intent of disrespect would be known. I am so disabled that I asked to know/understand my mistakes; I can stand tall accountable for my actions trying to be a better person learnig from my mistakes. You all will be happier now that the mistakes wont happen from me.. I'd like to suggest that a PM telling to make an introduction Would help the idiots like myself understand how wrong not checking that somebody else has proper clearance to reply to. There is a difference between disrespecting & not comprehending.....

First off, thank you for your service. That being said, there's no reason for you to leave. I don't see how you've bought dozens of knives here over the years, when you only signed on to the forum in March. If you did so it was not within our means to make sure you posted a proper introduction.
Your issues started here:
Warclops & Warslammer
It looks like both will go to Russia anyway

You're buyer appeared as if he won the battle without an intro, so did I. Then in your own words in this post you stated "It's looking like you will get the Cupid as not much serious interest in the entire set"

All this even after those buyers were warned repeatedly to post an introduction. I actually explained to you why we have these rules here, and it appeared as if you have ignored them, which is fine, a sale is a sale. But if it goes astray you're on your own.

As far as sending a PM to everyone to post their intro, as I have said many times, Reading is Fundimental. It's posted at the top of the for sale forum, and at the top of the main forum section as well. 90 percent of your posts here have been on the for sale forum, so I can only assume you came here to sell. Nothing wrong with that, but if we ask you to respect our rules, is that such a bad thing? If you see a buyer who hasn't introduced himself, maybe YOU can send him a PM and tell him to do so, or you won't do business with him. We are not here to police every for sale post, the members here need to do their due diligence as well.
Anyway this has already taken up entirely too much of both our time. If you decide to leave the Forum, that is your choice, but do not think you were the first guy that has fallen into a similar situation, because you're not. And you will NOT be the reason for the closure of any for sale threads.
