Axes and Cold steel weapons

[Ryastar]

OGKingsBounty92,

Before you get into a big rant like that, you really should check to see if you are actually right. Iron is, as you correctly pointed out, an element, and yes steel is an alloy. However, I'm pretty sure (though your terrible grammar and clearly low level of intelligence make you difficult to understand) that you just went on a long rant about how steel was never used for the things that Stegsongrapes suggested they were. Too bad it was. Steel is an alloy, made mostly of iron (gasp!) with a small amount of carbon as well. This made it stronger and easier to work with compared to iron. Meaning that it is perfectly reasonable that the pickaxe head would be made of steel rather than iron, and as for lances, they always have metal tips on them (otherwise they would be useless against anyone with armour) and that metal would be steel, since it is stronger and easier to work with than iron.

The only good point of your argument is the comment about yams in his ears. That made me laugh. Too bad the rest was a combo of stupidity, groundless insults, and general incoherence.

I am in shock! I have never seen such an insane, disgusting, a**hole rant such as this here! I thought the KB forums were free of such classless antics. Look, this is just ridiculous, if you have something to say, say it reasonably and nicely. How many times have people on this forum answered your questions and helped you out? And this is the sort of behavior we get in response to a rather silly and trivial disagreement about METALS?

I'm sorry that Stepsongrapes had this directed at him, but at least now we know the personality of OGKingsBounty. Next time you ask a question or for help, do you want the same sort of attitude back at you?

Finally, just because you deserve it: lances ARE steel-tipped. That is in fact the most common form of a lance, You'd be hard-pressed to find any other kind except ones just made for practicing. In fact, lances are by DEFINITION steel-tipped:

And any pickaxe that's not CRAP in quality is going to be made of steel as well. So not only was your post crass and arrogant, you were completely wrong. So go educate yourself first and leave the attitude at the door.

NERD RAGE!!?@!

I'm shaking in my boots (steel-tipped, ya know).

Attitude and ignorance, together. A wonderful combination.
