The issue is that one moderator is unilaterally shutting down threads in an attempt to punish a large community of Atwood fans into submission...these are Atwood fans who use the EDCF threads to monitor activity. Sometimes these shut-downs are initiated when newbies innocently post a happy "Got one!" The moderator over-reacts, shuts down the thread, and we all pay the price. That's what's got us old timers unhappy...the punative shut-downs and the fact that even those who play by the new rules, suffer. Also it is a guessing game as to what is allowed in a post, and what isn't. I have stopped posting for fear of getting arbitrarily banned, which has happened to others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-73047889504179005872008-01-31T13:31:00.000-05:002008-01-31T13:31:00.000-05:00Sweet "one of a kind" section you added.

They seem pretty straightforward to me. I wonder what all the fuss is about.

Now I read the rules for posting on the new official thread and found them strict yet reasonable. I even asked the mod to leave some of the "wrong" comments on the thread or just plain out edit them since , it got a little bit incoherent after he deleted the comments and closed the thread. I didnt get any ban warnings, and he agreed to pen up the thread again..

There's a thread on availiblitiy of your work and when I purchased one of your tools (I was Very lucky!) I posted that I was a new lucky owner of your work and anounnced that they are still availible in stock. Well the thread was locked up within minutes, and moderator's reason to locking it up clued into my post being the third strike on disregauarding the rules of the thread of the Original post. It was my mistake so I sent an apology to the mod and the thread was reactivated later on that day.<BR/><BR/>Alot of posts pop up when your tools become "In Stock" and I can see why EDCF would want to avoid the clutter of all this.<BR/><BR/>It is difficult to avoid posting about availiblity of your tools though given the nature of your works of art, limited quantity and the good nature of our fellow EDC'ers wanting others to know about it to share the wealth.<BR/><BR/>-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-83760478643909833152008-01-28T11:22:00.000-05:002008-01-28T11:22:00.000-05:00so peter, i had a splashed bt in my cart, but had ...so peter, i had a splashed bt in my cart, but had to resist... bank account was near the bottom!! lol, so whats on the menu for this week, need to know if i need to put my son up on ebay, hear 8 year old kids are fetching good bids these days!! lmao!!s4biturbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161041828598082207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-7940372433278626802008-01-28T10:35:00.000-05:002008-01-28T10:35:00.000-05:00Resistance is futile! :DResistance is futile! :DPeter Atwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246505554623368895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-1368422306974079232008-01-28T09:16:00.000-05:002008-01-28T09:16:00.000-05:00In a matter of days I've been fortunate enough to ...In a matter of days I've been fortunate enough to get my hands on a bike tool <I>and</I> a stonewashed bermuda triangle. <BR/><BR/>Peter, I remain in awe of your tool-crafting talents. <BR/><BR/>I really wish I could resist fiddling around with this bermuda triangle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-60185891844142321632008-01-26T16:10:00.000-05:002008-01-26T16:10:00.000-05:00Yes, it is fun to spin on your fingers.

Got two findings here. First, it's effective. In other words, it's mean. It didn't take much force to put a nice clean rectangular hole on the board. I am convinced that it's going to hurt if the sufferer is something that can feel. Second, it's comfortable to use. I tried to hit harder on the cardboard and my fingers didn't really feel a thing. I was kinda thinking that the fingers might hurt when using the BT to punch things. Although I didn't punch a really hard object, the card board has proven enough for me. Peter, the Bermuda Triangle IS a winner.

He locked the availability thread again after a new member with only about a dozen posts made a comment in it. The long standing members seem to get it, but the new members who haven't got a feel for the forum and how it runs are being treated like hardened criminals for their simple enthusiasm, and everyone is getting punished for their innocent mistakes. I've been a member for a few months, thanks to finding the site via Peter, but I feel like I'm living in a police state while I'm online there.

We really can't discuss this on EDCF...the rules at EDCF state that if you openly question a moderator, you will be banned. (Wow.) At one point I politely requested that some posts, with useful or interesting information, be allowed to remain, and was warned that I would be banned for making that request, as it was seen as questioning authority. (Wow.) Whereas most forums are democratic and egalitarian, EDCF is...currently otherwise. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks Peter for allowing us to vent. Back on topic, love the stone-wash finish, and would be interested to know how that's accomplished. Can I stonewash some of my tools by tossing them in a tumbler with some rocks? Or more complicated than that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
