Can’t say I understand this thread at all.

Naming anyone with a negative connotation will result in a lynch mob regardless of whom it is.

It’s just the nature of the beast. Anyone that’s been here for some time knows this.

Three sides to every story. I’ve met Kenny on multiple occasions and, although he has some zany ideas, I’ve never known him to be hurtful or malignant.

I feel like I've got to chime in here. I'm of Doc's and a couple of others opinions here. I have met Kenny and have texted with him on many occasions. While sometimes its hard to understand where hes coming from or going to, he's helped me out several times with problems that I've experienced.
I dont monitor every thread in this forum, so I cant say anything about the alledged wrong doing. What I can say is that communication is the key to EVERYTHING in life and if I were to violate any rule of this forum it falls upon the membership to call me out in private. And if I continue to do it then the mods have a decision to make. I dont know if anyones contacted him in private.
Dont tell me about what I did 4 years ago, that is long past. I know I've done some stuff that I wish I could take back but cant. But if its Terry Landrum that that is what its all about, from what I've heard about Terry its probably a good thing that he didnt contribute to his raffle. Like some of the stuff thats gone on here, long time members will know what I'm talking about. Thats why we very seldom have raffles anymore.
But hes not ripped anybody off or pretended to be who he wasnt.
Instead of bringing it up in public, has anyone, a builder, reached out to him to let him know what is expected from a builders standpoint? As was stated before, there are all kinds of builders out there, and some of the builders that had problems did business with many of the members on here. I being one of them.
Many of the worlds greatest inventions started out as zany ideas, Tesla is an example. If that is what hes guilty of then so be it.
The mods have a tough job sometimes, but they've got to weigh all the facts before making any decision. They cant make it on emotion.
With that being said, fair is fair if everythings been checked off.

I've been traveling for work and haven't been on OPE much over the last month or so.

How would one find the NSP thread referenced in here a few times? I searched and didn't see it in this section. Another sub-forum maybe?

It's really just this simple.

Kenny has never shown any of us a saw that he ported, either in pictures, video, or in person. I'm not going to allow him to troll for port work on this forum without having seen any examples of his work.

If you guys can't understand that after all the stuff we as a group have seen over the years, then I'm not sure its possible to enlighten you.

Some of you guys.....no, most of you guys who are questioning the reason I'm set on either seeing examples of Kenny's work, or not allowing him to sell here are the same ones who took Jason Stratton's side when I tried to show you that he was a crook. Trusting souls you are I suppose. Personally, I'm more of a skeptic.

Those are some hateful words Randy. I'm at a loss for words.. Never thought that I'd be attacked that way.

Every single time shifty behavior has been called out on this forum I've taken the heat over it. Same thing every time. The case is laid out, and those who can't come to grips with the facts at hand accuse me of attempting to destroy someone's reputation. I've endured this over and over, yet like a fool, I stand up again and again and point out what I see.

And somehow you feel attacked.

That's cool.

Yes I did until the evidence presented swayed my opinion. Then I began to see a little bit clearer. You have got to take into consideration that most people arent privy to the information that you are. I dont live and breathe this forum nor am I a builder. I spent alot of money with him . And I appreciate the members, sawmikazee, that found out what he was all about and the many that came to the rescue to right his wrongs. But I've still got a 661 that was done by him that is a strong saw. And that was the last one he built for me. But you aint going to form my opinion and what I state to beleive is fact. I form my own opinions on my own experiences. Period. It takes evidence. I asked one simple question: has anybody contacted him in private to discuss? Have you ever done something that was *f-worded up to realize later that it was wrong? I know the answer to that question. Probably more times then you want to admit. Have I done anything to harm anybody intentionally on this forum? Stating ones opinion is just that. Opinions can change. Did I hit a nerve to elicit that response. I thought that the purpose of this forum was to be civil and bring disagreements offline. Evidently I was wrong. You wont hear from me again on this topic.

Lightning Performance is active on the forum just now (e.g. https://opeforum.com/threads/whats-on-your-bench.80/page-1549#post-1273270 ) - hard to imagine that he didn't see this thread. Being silent about it is... suspicious?
Did you read his whole long a$$ post? He saw it and is aware from what I read. Randy has asked multiple times for proof of work. I don’t see what’s so hard to understand about Randy’s position if you’ve read a few pages of posts.

Absolutely.

I have explained this in detail over and over, only to have more and more of you guys pile on my motive for doing so.

Plainly I'm not immune to feeling attacked.

I've even considered leaving the forum and just letting you fellas have it to do with as you see fit.....but I'm too damn hardheaded to quit.

So....here it is for those of you who have a hard time understanding.

Either Kenny shows some detailed examples of his work, or he ain't selling anything on this forum.

Period.

I don't know about others here, but I think this is a fair ask.

People are a strange lot. There is no way to predict how they will react to anything.

Personally, I've moved thru several stages of emotion over this. Where I'm at right now is pure bullheadedness. I'm gonna stand my ground and let the chips fall where they may.

I just read this whole thread and agree, with Randy's perspective on this. I also read Kenny's post on the bench and liked it before finding this thread. If I saw this thread first, I wouldn't have liked it.
I did like it because I genuinely like Kenny. He posted to me credentials on the peeps involved with the sale of my Rattlered purchase. Got me ''off the pot" and into that sale. I love that saw.

Kenny, you could or could not have the skills.
If ya do ya just need to start advertising.

From my perspective, it's pretty simple, Kenny talks a lot of Chit.
The many times he's been called out on it, it's either crickets or some crap about how he doesn't have to prove anything to anybody.
As such, I don't see why anyone who hasn't had dealings with him would have a reason to trust his work...
Duh...
