If any of you have any interest in following the DPx Gear HEST folder you can go to the Black Flag Cafe forum. Apparently this is the forum RYP is hanging out in now that he is no longer on BF.

RYP owns that forum and if there's anything I've learned about personalities like his - they don't get better on their own turf.

well i read that supposedly only 8 people returned their blades. i got confirmation that they received mine yesterday and should be getting me my refund tomorrow.

that forum posted above is full of a lot of dumb asses. i seriously have to ask as i was always curious. he is a journalist and goes to some ****ty places. he doesn't fight the fight he just reports about it. why does he think he is such a bad ass. i just don't get it. either way he definitely needs to try and not be so stuck on himself and i am personally glad i returned my knife.

 

[tradertator]

RYP is definitely his own worst enemy. God only knows how much he has hurt his reputation with his BF shenanigans.

 

[swatdoc]

Just figured out this was all about "The" Robert Young Pelton. Sounds like his notoriety kinda went to his head a little--OK, a lot!! A journalist/author turned knife maker. Hmmm....

Yes, most of the people there are RYP as* kissers.

I myself canceled my order of 12 regular run versions and I know another dealer that canceled his order...not sure how many he had on order, but thats well over 8.

 

[grunt soldier]

i think the 8 he mentioned were the LE versions. it appears from over there that people are still liking the knives and some people still attempting to buy them. don't get me wrong the knife was solid, good materials, and well put together (minus the tip issue) but no one should act the way he did especially towards his customers. its sad really cause if he would have just kept doing the right thing saying we are fixing it, ect and kept his mouth shut he would have had a good following on bladeforums. now he has totally screwed that up

How evil would it be to get Lynn Thompson to make a knockoff of RYP's knife and sell it at half price?

it might be the one case of cold steel selling something for what it's worth.

Can I get the "Cliff's Notes" version of the story? I read a ton of pages but everybody talks about how RYP had deleted things....

All I get from it is that he posted peoples semi personal information on the web. What started the crap that caused him to post a persons info on the web?

Heck, just tell me what page to start on...

Thanks INGO

Sensing Cold Steel non-love in INGO. I'll have to figure out the story behind this.

I read the BF thread until I got bored with it. Obviously all the guy had to do was just say "sorry brother, my bad". What a missed opportunity for that company.

not too hard to figure out just search through the cutting edge forum. but I won't go into detail here as to distract from this thread.

 

[cubby]

this is teh hilarious thing about the internet. it can do a few things to people. for the most part it begins hero worship, and the cool guy club. you see THAT guy who has/makes/does what you want or enjoy. then they become untouchable. THEN that "hero" does a few things. some of the time, they turn into a MORE egotistical moron like this example. a case of letting your "fans" make you think you are way WAY more awesome then you are. or that you are untouchable, and somehow better than them.

and its all over the internet. car makers, computer geeks, fantasy football owners... you name it. there are name droppers and fanboys. its unavoidable. its all about how that person reacts to their "fame" and attention.

it doesn't matter if its Barrack Obama, Payton Manning, Jeff Randall, Lynn Thompson. a person is a person. its reminding them, and ourselves, that which dictates reactions.

Awesome. Thanks man. Normally I'm the type that reads every post before I ever speak, but this one was an exception. I've had a few more important things going on, but for some reason just couldn't live without knowing more about this. Thanks again.
