"Tappy tappy" people Dale? I thought blacksmithing events were for like minded people not similarly skilled people. Not the type of thing I thought would be written by someone who claims to be a forum moderator! Ian Link to comment

So you are blaming the wrong person for that term. If it offends you, you should try to make sure you aim your complaints at the correct person. Link to comment

And I don't have the Tee shirt which says "worlds greatest blacksmith" either so who am I to talk. Don't be to hard on the big fella though, he's getting old you know, he's been flat out looking after his grandson. We may have to make room around the hammer soon for him to get his zimmer frame in there. Phil Link to comment

I worked hard an I did learn about much more than the blade work I was interesed in. If people like us are not good enough for you. Why should any of us want to come to your hammer in for more up close and persponal abuse? Clearly I am not alone in this feeling. Dale and Ianr have both commented they are offended by the atttitude of tappy-tappy-smiths and the not-a-real-smith comments also. Yes I earned my masters electrical, Yes I get upset when I see non licensed people taking my work, I understand being upset. but I do not run around yelling at them for trying to make a living from it or even side money as long as the work is to code. It seems more than a few of us wish you would cease doing it to us about smithing also. If you dont like how we learned to smith, that is fine. You can either offer ways to improve, as this forum is intended, or find a better way to release your frustrations. You do need to think about what you want from IFI because we will always have a lot more there than only licensed experts here. Just my personal feeling about this and not a formal statement of IFI policy. Link to comment
IanR Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 · Hidden by Glenn, October 14, 2014 - cleaning up the topic to keep it on subject Hidden by Glenn, October 14, 2014 - cleaning up the topic to keep it on subject Well, I must apologise, I seem to have opened up a can of worms. I am not familiar with any of the things that are causing Mr Sells grief, I have attended the last 5 Get Hammereds and I have always found Moony be welcoming and very informative. I merely commented on what Dale had wrote, I don't participate in chat and can only comment on what was written in black and white. Ian Mr Sells mearly corrected your aim. It was clear you were acting offended at the term tappy tappy smiths when you thought it was Dale. If your statement was only to poke a stick at Dale then we may have a more serious problem here.

I have my work all over the world. I have a Master Blacksith Certificate (made it meself). I don't take offense at hobby comments, but I would like to think no one would call me a tappy tappy (as big as I am and hard as I hit), but then each to his own. And don't forget the beer. Cheers, mates :)(had to add my 2 cents) Link to comment

To those concerned , I wonder if you have ever had a dream , a dream that " if " it happened would lift you out of a world of pain ( mental & physical ) only to see it vanish before your eyes . As a human I have feelings & without thinking posted it not caring at the time , just because I am a IFI Moderator does not mean I am a mindless bot unable to have any form of emoticons . Yes I posted it , did I expect the response it has gotten , no . If I had of known it would have blown out like this I would have kept my mouth shut . Once again I will not be going to MOONY'S Get HAMMERED this year . And to those going have fun & enjoy yourselves . As far as this subject goes it is CLOSED , please only post about the event at MOONY'S . Dale Russell / Moderator86 Link to comment
