    This a hobby or pasttime for some of us and we carry Bics also. But, we enjoy starting fires using other methods of ignition.

    Hey, I have an idea. I'll start a thread on archery and you can post just use a gun. How about I start a thread on wild edibles and you post that I should just go to the grocery store.

    The people with the foresight to post such sage advise as using a Bic lighter in a thread like this... Oh, never mind.

    I just can't believe you guys can't see how LAME replies like that really are!
    Well, for one thing you've miss quoted me as saying that I prefer the Bic as my ONLY method of starting a fire as I never said that or even suggested that it was my only method. For those that get offended by statements like this, I'll bet that there are hundreds of folks on here that are smart enough to know that it was said only in jest, its all part of having fun with the hobby. But folks like you take things wrong and then launch personal attacks even when the comment wasn't even made to you in the first place. The LAME comments are the ones that come from folks that sit around waiting to hijack someone elses comment and make more out of it than it really is. My appolgies to you and anyone else if I offended you, its just that I figured everyone here was adult enough to know how to take a joke - guess I was wrong huh ?

    Everybody has been around long enough to know that personal attacks are verbotin. Please don't let any ill feelings spark (see what I did) similar comments in other threads.

    This thread is closed. Who would of thought a fire starting thread would ignite (see....I did it again) such passion.

    The reason I quoted this post - as you can see the member has been banned - is that creating a new screen name to make a comment is rather childish. Pleas remember - one account per person.
