Oh yes and mods since the Moog was right about AA after all, you ought to invite him back.
Well it takes a thief to know a thief, but this is a definite vote against having someone like him back in.

The only thing I think of when people say "Bring Moogy back" is the last round of shenanigans we had with the last round of open registration and how many prior sock puppets he has had. Again, goes to discussing banned members.Well it takes a thief to know a thief, but this is a definite vote against having someone like him back in.

BS. The deals were broken and that's when the backstabbing began. The attempts at deals were made, fact. Their motto seems to be if you are not with us, you are against us. There is no room in this hobby for another ultra-accurate TK helmet. If BA started making copies of his helmet do you think the same anti-SDS group would welcome him with open arms? Give me a break.
All valid questions, but his motives were insinuated from the beginning without proof. And if he made the originals, how could it be a recast?
I followed it even before it came onto the RPF. So you saw inaccuracies, big deal. You seem to forget the efforts made to help AA improve the helmets all courtesy of RPF members who gave themselves a pat on the back at the time.
No, they were looking for something to incriminate AA, anything. And they found it and took it to LFL. So we can all be thankful for their foresight and contribution to the hobby. I think I'll do the same for the TK helmets makers here.
Ya right. You have no idea the kinds of principles I was trying to defend here on behalf of the hobby. And I was defending AA long before it was found out that TE had betrayed the hobby, and you still support someone like TE.
With a statement like that it's clear you have no idea what's in store for the future of the hobby...
I'm well within my rights to discuss my point of view whether it deals with a stormtrooper helmet's accuracy or lack thereof, or of a legal case dealing with a stormtrooper helmet maker. If the legal discussions bother you then there are plenty of prop threads to enjoy here.
So is the trial actually over now?
If not how much longer?
And the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
Maybe you should take your own advice and preach in the mirror "innocent until proven guilty"
The personal attacks, shooting the messenger, diverting the topis and double standards are everything I expect from several member here...
Innocent until proven guilty.
Benefit of the doubt.
Etc.
What was mind blowing to the other side was how quickly he was vilified on every little thing possible nearly from the beginning. Several people stated from the get go he was not and did not know anything about the prop community and that maybe the MR stand was brought to him to use. Without the plaque, who would know if they didn't know what MR was?
Not all of us can be the all knowing, all seeing Carnac the Magnificent like you Ben.![]()
Out of your entire post of horse puckey, this was the only grain of truth. Unfortunately for you and your repaint of history aside, you were never in the middle. Nor were you simply a seeker of truth. You were the #1 leader of the Pro AA camp. You pushed and cheered and rallied for him at even the slightest whisper of an AA thread. So delude yourself, muddy the issue, get naked, drunk and dance away your sorrow beneath the silvery moon. In the morning you will still be as radically and irrationally pro AA as those you crucify for being Anti.
As for your comment about Moog, you are no better informed or enlightened on that subject than your defense of AA apears to have been.
Oh please you argued about that MR stand for the longest time. When it was clearly a recast. Then the false advertising campaign about the original molds after he admitted to reworking them. And lets not forget about the discount helmet you got Mike. I am sure that didn't impact your opinion.
As for Moogy, sorry, but he said himself in this forum that he was convicted, that he admitted it, he laughed about it.
...you are no better informed or enlightened on that subject than your defense of AA apears to have been.
As atacpdx already said...
Does he or does he not have a conviction on his record?
You are the one that clearly called him a thief, certainly before you committed potential libel you had your facts inline...
You know Ben you've brought up that lie about the discount helmet before and I've refuted it before, even showing my original quote which showed I never got any discount. You're not doing yourself any favors in doing it yet again.
As for the rest, I gave my explanations of what I thought at the time about the stand, and myself and many others agreed that his amending how he made the helmets was nothing new in business advertising (or should I bring up how the licensed makers claim their stuff is "from the originals...").
