Thanks for the open dialogue and understanding.

I remain a full blooded capitalist willing and able to use the free market as I see fit. Censorship doesn't suit my style and is not what I expect in a free society.

Please close this thread also, before I reply to a post you make, Gugii.

I must say, before I leave, that I never understood or believed in the xenophobic attitude or protectionist angle that I had heard about the board's moderators. That belief if changing.

You can be quite sure that this post will most likely be locked and then deleted. Such a shame that free speech is under threat.

Stay sharp and mistrust those in power.

Oh, come now.
It's Friday, have a beer and chill out:)
Seeing as you are from my parts of the world, perhaps I can help somehow?
I've hung around here for a wee bit, and them pesky Americans has kinda grown on me;)

Lol didn't wanna be the first to touch this, but I'll take a beer. Just read the drama inducing post what's the issue? Couldn't advertising be more clearly stated?

As much as you want to claim a freedom of speech, first and foremost you must abide by the terms and conditions that you agreed to when you opened your account.

Play the victim card as much as you like, but that is not going to change the fact that you violated the terms of the site and instead of considering a change in your behavior you come with an attitude of an entitlement and some strange accusations.

Obviously this community is doing pretty well without your participation, which can't be said about your attempts to profit from this hobby.

We're like a fungus...:beer1:

"The owners of Straight Razor Place Forum reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any content item for any reason."

Seems pretty straight forward to me. We may not all like or agree with the rules but we aren't the ones that carry the burden of maintaining or paying for this place. To me that gives them the right to run it however they wish and if it is mismanaged they would have to pay the consequences by losing their members. That will not happen, I'm sure because I am not going anywhere over anything similar to this topic and I think that many others may be of a like mind.

I, for one, am just very grateful that such a vast wealth of knowledge has been put at my fingerprints free of charge and without any input of labor on my part. Many thanks to all the SRP family and more importantly to the SRP staff for the thankless job that they have to perform.

I should clarify the issue.

The OP violated the very clear rules about marketing and solicitations, and was notified about this in a private message with a reminder about the rules and asking him to not do that in the future. He chose to respond publicly by starting this thread.

Now, we do not air dirty laundry, but when somebody has such a desire to show their skidmarks there is a point that I'd rather leave them to their own devices than having SRP be falsely accused of doing nefarious things.

Gugi does that mean we can count you in on the Friday beer train? Any post that mentions skid marks in casual conversation deserves a like also.

Sorry, I'm working my way through a bottle of rosso di montalcino :)

And I'm enjoying the evening with the company of a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail. We are apparently a well rounded bunch... :beer1:

When you go into someone's house you play by their rules. I don't know the particulars of what upset you but I can only assume it's you that has a problem. With a calm clear head any problem can be worked out in a peaceful way. It's merely a matter of understanding each other really.

I read the closed thread; don't take it as a personal thing. Did you PM the Mod who closed it, before you dropped 2 words (that I had to look up in the dictionary) that set a negative tone to this thread? :shrug:

Free speech is relative; relative to where you are, when you speak.
It's been that way since the beginning of time.

Enjoy your razors & your business,,,that's all that matters.

I propose that all civil members of SRP just self lock out now. Why feed a fire and controversy that has no end other than to just fade away ?

BYE NOW :<0)

Bahahaha!! Well then, why not walk into a Apple store and start pushing PCs until your kicked out! Don't forget to scream bomb as you leave!!

Damn you spend the night sanding a Brunoblade and miss all the fun LOL

I'm closing this thread for now. The OP has made his feelings clear and it seems ungentlemanly to kick him on his way out.
