This thread makes me think about the forbidden name when you want to talk about screwdrivers, after telling some descriptions of one of his screwdrivers, he sent me some insulting purpose via email,and I knew I would NEVER buy from this guy.
As I won't ever buy a ## screwdriver, I will never buy a SF lightsaber.
About copying, I can understand the original authors opinion, I also created some technology for Obiwan ep 4 lightsabers,meaning:scew on pommel, hollow booster, screw on spacer, and Romans and Russrep made similar design after I made them, and what, I wil have to call them thieves?
Of course I won't, I even helped on these design, and now there are available obi sabers, for affordable price, following some of my ideas.
What is revolting to me is not the way SF can less or more copy someone else's work, but his ****ing as**le behaviour!
I will share with friends.
