Here we go again with yet ANOTHER TM HELMET OWNER. God almighty, you guys are just incessant.
At this point, I would have liked to call people's attention to a pattern here as a warning to newcomers.
Past 20+ page threads show SithLord's runaway train myopia, supposition and self-conflicting statements. In general, after finally losing a discussion, he waits 3-6 months for the dust to settle and for people to forget the details of the debate before starting a new thread. Then the new thread devolves into 20+ pages of erroneous and misleading comparisons, exploitation of images, etc. Some threads even start out seemingly innocently by him saying he's not stating anything as fact but is simply thinking out loud and is curious.
I don't need you to psychoanalyze me Mac. You are so insulting and condescending. I don't see anywhere here that I am losing all I see are TM owners complaining, baiting me, and providing no photographic evidence to back up their claims. Nor do they even address details I show clearly on the original ANH as being also on their TM to PROVE that is is ANH as they so wish it to be.
At the end of all threads, what is revealed time and again is a psychopathic obsession to promote his possessions above that of others, and it should be noted that many major arguments took place prior to or concurrent to a private run of his masks, and that it was vital for buyers to believe in the superiority of their investments.
No, this always devolves because I get asked WHY I THINK THE TD IS EARLY or WHY I THINK THE TM IS ESB AND NOT ANH. I make every fricken effort to address those questions in a reasonable manner! And I get your stupid posts about how I am behaving?
And what kind of nonsense are you talking about? How many TM masks were sold and how many TM owners are in MY THREAD messing around with my attempt to make a simple lineage?
Also characteristic of SithLord in the past has been his covering his tracks through, for example, removing all posted images which renders past threads of limited use whereupon newcomers cannot learn of his past performance to understand his present motivations.
I remove them because I'm sick of your nonsense. I can easily put them all back Mac and in case you didn't notice I've done that in a few major threads on TPD. But I also had problems with my image host which is HUGE and was slowed down by the volume of images I host.
And I invite anyone to go back and read anything I've posted and judge me by that. But if you are going to insult me based on what I've tried to contribute to the Vader community then I really don't care what you think because you do nothing constructive with your posts except try to insult me! When the F did I do that to you Mac? When do I try to insult you in your endless threads about sculpting or reworking a helmet? I don't put you down in your threads so what are you doing here to me?
Newcomers don't have the time to look back and track what was said and done, and the enormity of what he says is difficult to wade through without images. They thus don't know his failed track record. They have to rely on long-timers who remember sufficiently... but they themselves have to fight an ever-changing story.
ANYONE HERE IS FREE TO ASK ME ANYTHING AND I WILL EXPLAIN IT. I stand by everything I've ever posted in the past. I take responsibility for what I post and I take every effort to be clear and up front about what I am explaining about anything in regard to Vader and you guys always turn it into a circus claiming I have an agenda or something ridiculous like that.
Failed track record? About what? Honestly, if you really want to go there, then I will pull out all the stops on the TM vs TD vs SL arguments we've had before on TPD. If that's what you want.
Take this for example: Simple things like "Why did you say the SL had no grill marks when you first acquired the SL... only now to state it has grill marks when leveraging it to a greater height of prestige and recognition?" But that question is evaded and then drowned out with defiance and intimidation, distracting the core issue with oodles of grainy closeups that are subject to interpretation.
Jeez, Mac, I answered the question!!!
POST #348 READ IT AGAIN FOR PETE'S SAKE!

Well the question would be, did the original ANH mask have the grills in it when the ILM mold was taken and the answer is yes.
But on the SL it is extremely difficult to make them out because of the amount of material covering them. So anyone looking at them wouldn't be able to tell there were grills, but the original did have them. The grills would look nothing like what you see on the UK side of the lineage as they were almost completely covered up as opposed to material just oozing through the grill to fill it.
THE SL ANH HAS THE GRILLS BUT THEY ARE OBSCURED OK. HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND ENGLISH FOR YOU MAC.
I seldom agree with Qui-Gonzalez, nor am I friends with him, but as SL has lumped me together with him - after asking Gonz to give SL a chance in the "What is GINO's ANH" thread, I don't have to look at the AA/SDS thread but at so many prior The Prop Den threads in which this ego, insecurity and insanity has been allowed to run amok and ruin the hobby for everyone.
Funny you refer to me as SL here but Thomas in all our PMs. You are so two-faced. You are so friendly in PMs with me and respectful but on the forum it is like WTF?
Anyone can go back in the SDS threads here and read what I wrote! Honest to God! How did I ruin the hobby Mac? What is your bloody problem?
Anyone can see what I've discussed at length about the SDS helmets and about the case in great detail. And I was right about the case. I was right about the fact it would go to the UK. I was right that the judge in the UK would consider it a design and not a work of art. So? I WAS RIGHT MAC. But you weren't even there for the discussions so stop being so patronizing when you were not EVEN THERE IN THE DISCUSSIONS. Do you know how stupid you look in referring back to my history and YOU WERE NOT EVEN THERE.
People should not confuse arrogant, haughty defiance for truth. It's merely assuming a superior posture to defend against an inferior supposition.
If I've done the research, and I can document what I've found, that is presenting my findings. Simple. If I am confident about that, I will try to show why as best I can. I have been nothing but up front and reasonable about that, but all I get is insults from people like you who don't take the effort to study the details. When do I say anything personal about you Mac? And how many times do you call me myopic? When do I call you something or insult you like that can you point it out for me? If I do, it is in response to your posts about me which are unkind and only serve to bait and do nothing to further this thread or offer anything in regard to substantive refutation of what I SHOW IN CLEAR HIGH MAGNIFICATION IMAGES.
This is the individual who has made factual statements on behalf of Brian Muir who apparently had to participate online - and even address the misinformation in his book.
I introduced Brian to the RPF. I introduced Brian to the Prop Den when you guys were trying to figure out if it was really him. How many times did I post something here about information that I got from Brian long before any of you knew him and you guys would do the same thing....question me and try to insult me.
Oh really? What information did Brian address in his book. I would like to know.
So let me repost this and ask SithLord WHY the discrepancy between what he originally said versus what he's saying at present:
God. You don't read do you?

Funny, you used to say that the grills had been removed from the helmet prior to molding it for the SL mold.
Please tell me when did I say that? I never said that Carsten.
And.
GO BACK AND READ IT.
If find it so offensive and insulting that I HAVE TO REPEAT SOMETHING I ALREADY POSTED.
So, SithLord, why don't you actually answer the question rather than lash out at people? I mean, it must be down-putting to have invested $6,000 in the SL but knowing that a 20th Century has grill marks where the SL does not. Why don't you actually answer the question instead of daring me to show some TM feature or to answer your taunts?
"B.S.?" You're too predictable. I'm done here.
Why do you TM owners continue to be so insecure you have to mention how much I paid for the SL? And it was $6300 for your information Mac.
Oh, I'm so depressed, my $6300 mask doesn't have grills and my $250 20th Century mask does! Oh woah as me! Boo-hoo hoo! :cry
Give me a break. The TD has the grills, so did the original mask when the ILM mold was taken. So does the VP ANH for that matter and the TM doesn't. So go cry about that.
