Here is what I posted, very simple theory.
If you look at this thread and go back through the others you will see this list of names

That contribute little and take any good Sonic Screwdriver thread and try to put so much garbage and bull**** in that you can not follow the content. I will say again, go away, you are not wanted in this thread. We would like to have one thread without your garbage polluting it.
If the evidence is over there, go ***** about it over there. It has no relevance to current members of this board unless the "proof" is over here. From what I have seen so far the only argument is on an early sketch (that has apparently been edited so we can only see the version that does not match the CT???) that looks completely different from the machined parts I am seeing. If that is BEST piece of evidence then it is not worth anyones time to go over there. You posted pictures of two parts that look nothing alike other than that they screw on (which is the way I would have done if I was not going for as close to screen accurate as I could get). This is proof of recasting???? Recasting is measuring someones part or dropping it in rubber and copying it. I am not making up what I am seeing, it is obvious that is not what is happening here.

Anikin Starkiller is seeing the same thing that I am, that you work does not match the CT at all. How about you ignore all of this crap (The goal is not actually to prove anything you can defend, it is just to try to wreck the thread) and focus on finishing your Sonic and posting updates and photos. The photos speak for themselves and some of us are enjoying the project. Let the rest of us squeegee the **** off the pavement so no one steps in it. :lol
Phez, you should actually READ my post that contains those two pictures. I wasn't comparing the pieces at all... I was asking the question of, if he hasn't been looking at a CT Sonic, how did he know about the smaller threading on that specific part? It hasn't been discussed or shown up until now, yet he criticized it. Like on last week's episode of the Office, when Dwight tried to frame Jim for putting a porcupine in his desk, but answered when asked what her name was...
Maybe not JUST like that, but I think you get the point. It's the kind of evidence that put someone away on Columbo every week.
Further, I truly resent your accusation that I "contribute little," and imply that I am here just to discredit anyone that dares compete with CT. I'm not a pawn... Yeah, I like the guy, but I have nothing to gain from sabotaging anyone. I haven't been asked to intervene here or anywhere else. In fact, the only other time I can remember speaking out against another Sonic was when we were all being lied to about the color of the Sonic by Neill Gorton. I have expressed a doubt that the QMx will ever see the light of day, but that's only because of their track record. I like and respect Kenney and don't believe I ever spoke out against him. Hell, I'm even buying a QMx Farnsworth, so clearly I have nothing against them, either.
I know you and CT don't get along... but I always defended you because I've always thought of you as helpful and nice.
But let's get this clear right up front: Rassilon's actions are CLEARLY sketchy. Whether or not he's lifted measurements from the CT line of Sonics (and my doubt on that is having a beachside piña colada with the Dodo), his actions in response to the allegation do more than enough to warrant a look!
Let's play devil's advocate, choose-your-own-adventure style:
You (Phez), have developed a Sonic kit from your own hard work and research of publicly available pics of the prop. Suddenly, someone claims that you have stolen dims and build methodologies from THEIR version of the same prop!
Do you:
a) Show your work
Or
b) Say "pshaw!" and begin belittling anyone who has concerns about whether the allegations may be true, change your blueprints and edit any post prior to the allegation so that the original plans are not available to critique
Now, operating under the ASSUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, which of the above courses of action would you expect a person to take? Which would YOU take, in the same circumstance?
Of course, the burden of proof is on the accuser. And he has provided his proof. But no one has responded. Here's an analogy:
PROSECUTOR: Your honor, the prosecution would like to enter into State's evidence the following: The Murder Weapon covered in the defendant's prints, A voice mail recording of the defendant threatening the life of the deceased, video tape that shows the defendant at the scene of the crime within minutes of the murder and the defendant's shirt, covered in the blood of the deceased.
DEFENDANT: Dude, the prosecutor is Chinese! If he was paying attention at Chinese lawyer school, he would know that... (reads entire excerpt from a law book on an unrelated topic).
DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Your honor, I move to have all charges dropped. My client is clearly innocent... I mean, I haven't looked at the evidence against him because it's WAAAYYYY on the other side of the room. I would maybe consider it if someone came and put it all directly on my desk, but if they can't do that, then it must not exist. Therefore: INNOCENT!
Maybe it's just me, but I think that dude's going to get the chair!
I know you hate CT. I'll be honest; I've read his blog... You have every reason to hate him. But that's no reason to cast such a blind eye to Rassilon's sketchy behavior. Innocence in this matter is easily proven. The allegations have NOT been responded to. I think it's SUPER-COMMENDABLE that someone should attempt to produce an inexpensive kit of this prop... I would really love to see one available from anyone with the wherewithal to produce one. But not if they're stealing someone else's hard work.
And I have one last point: there seems to be some confusion over the "Tells" referred to. Let me clear that up:
CT does NOT claim 100% accuracy on his sonic. His measurements were extrapolated from the Eccleston sonic, as he was under the impression that the two versions were more alike than they are. He later got ahold of a screen-used Tennant sonic and realized that he was wrong. The "Tells" he refers to are the INACCURACIES in his Tennant Sonic that are (or were) present in Rassilon's plans.
And, yeah, you're right that the actual, physical, produced pieces do not match CT's work. But they were made after the allegation. Just because Bill Clinton was monogamous to his wife after he was accused doesn't mean he wasn't messing around with Monica Lewinsky before he got caught.
