Is there a doctor in the house?

I'm in need of the services of a doctor. Not The Doctor, just a doctor. Preferably one with a big thick hypodermic needle filled with a gallon of industrial strength bleach to stick into an insidious, parasitic leeching piece of shit called Keith Collins, more commonly know by his online handle 'Rassilon1'.

Over the past few weeks this bumptious little turd's antics have started to irritate me. Not that he's affecting me or my business, but the way he's conducted his business has become ethically repellant and since no one has called him out on it, it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself. 

This thieving little toerag has taken my work, my research and my engineering, and appropriated them for his own edification, in effect recasting my work on an intellectual level. I realise Aussies are descended from felonious stock but surely after two centuries penal servitude, you would have thought these subversive urges might have been a little bit curbed by the antipodean sun.

Here's the thread on The RPF: http://www.therpf.com/f9/custom-tennant-sonic-build-130690/

Let's look at what we are talking about. Here's Collins' blueprints (you will note that he has 'copyrighted' it...fuckwittery at its finest. I'm reproducing it here, sue me you prick):

You will notice that the overall dimensions (especially on the black bulb end) look suspiciously familiar. He has made a total pigs ear of some dimensions and the head is seriously flawed. I'm not going to point out which dimensions are out because why should I help this prize tool, however what pisses me off most is that he has copied the way in which the emitter head disassembles and also the fact that I used a solid aluminium anodized bulb end. When I first engineered this replica I put a lot of work into the design of the constituent components to end up with a strippable sonic that made assembly easier and the end result more sturdy. I didn't sweat and toil for some thieving cunt to come along and purloin my hard work. To that end I put in little 'tells' and idealized certain features. I also added in details such as the bisected strut, and the circular mounting cylinder and LED mounting that hitherto had not been seen before.

Let me give you another example of his blatant thievery. Here's his model of the emitter head:

Compare that with mine:

As you can see, apart from a few dimensional inaccuracies, the design is virtually identical. The shallow lens cap recess, the strut bisected by the window, the radial curves on the window, the hole for the LED holder and the screw in lower section are all features that only appear on my replica, not the MFX or were pointed out by me first and documented on this blog.

Let's also look at the ball coupler design. Here's Collins':

and here's mine:

Looks familiar doesn't it just? The evidence here is damning. My sonic is the ONLY sonic available that has these same design features. To say that you came up with these same design features independently when there is a plethora of documentation from myself during the build and in the months after in this very blog precludes it. Unless Cuntus McCollins has been living under Ayre's-fucking-rock for the past three years, there is no way he cannot have been unaware of my work. Neither the MFX or the CO sonics exhibit these features. They are unique to me because I designed and engineered my own fucking sonic.

Looking at that thieving piece of donkey scrotum's dims, it's pretty obvious that he's based the sonic on mine by doing a hamfisted job in scaling my published pics because a lot of the dims are just off. Some pretty badly (and are obviously from perspective distortion) and others not so badly. He's taken my overall engineering and created a half baked approximation of the exterior. What he hasn't been able to do is replicate the internals or the slider/switch assembly but I note he's stolen the unique dimensions of the slider plate. The only reason I can come up with is because to my knowledge I've never published any pics of my sonic disassembled and the man is a talentless fucking moron with not an original bone in his body or any aptitude for anything except mindless plagiarism.

The most damning evidence he's based his build on mine is the fucking numpty put down the angle of slope of the tip of the black bulb. That angle is unique to my build and was a deliberate tell, put in almost like a fingerprint. His angle is within fractions of a degree of mine and looks like he just put a protractor over a pic of mine.

Collins' 10th rate intellectual recasting doesn't really bother me all that much. What does bother me is that he couldn't even do a decent job of it. That say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That is true if the person doing the copying honours you by doing a decent job. This effort is so piss-poor it is honestly an insult.

This is the work of a two faced opportunistic shyster who originally claimed he was doing a personal build but in the course of a few posts miraculously morphed into someone who is now going to offer completed and kit form sonics. And according to our friend Primrodo, it seems as if this jizzmonkey has a track record of doing similar shit on other forums too.

I've got no problem with people making sonics. It's a free market. But do your own research, make your own observations and certainly do not steal the hard work of someone like me, because you will find out the total bastard I can be and I will publicly make you an object of ridicule.

No matter, the most disturbing thing that has come to light is the fact that not a single one of you fuckers have called him out on it. In fact, some of you bastards are even encouraging him!!!! I know who you are and if you ever want another product from me again, you can honestly take a run up and go fuck yourselves. I don't give a shit whether that fat bearded child molester Ron Daniels/GreatWazoo is actively fellating Collins or there are idiots who want a spring loaded sonic. You're welcome to bumsniff him all you like. You have my blessing. No, the biggest problem is the flagrant hypocrisy that is on display. The cry of 'recaster' is often used, usually in a high pitched indignant voice, whenever a helmet, gun or bust is recast but what is more insidious and just as bad is intellectual recasting of the hard work and research of others. The tightwads who want a cheap sonic or have wound me up so badly in the past I refuse to sell to them will keep schtum on the recasting front because it suits their aims to get a cheap sonic. Well, newsflash dickheads, by the time Collins has finished you won't be far off the price of one of mine, completed, with sound, light and dimensions taken from the prop. It really does amaze me how these double standards work. Well, if you want to support this cunt, go ahead as that will probably be the only sonic you'll be owning as you can forget about ever ordering with me.

Update: Looks like I'm not the only one this fuckstick has done this to. I've just been alerted to this:

To quote RogueScout:

"Effective immediately, REMOVE all reference to my work from this thread. Going forward, I do not give ANY permission to have any part of it replicated or used in development of this project and any use therein will be constituted as RECASTING on behalf of the artist. Again, remove all reference to my work, this includes any images which are owned by me as well as any image that was created with the use of my intellectual property. This is not negotiable."


It would appear that Collins has been ripping off RogueScout's hard work on the Romana sonic and using that as the basis for his half-assed replica. How anyone can even support this useless oxygen thief is beyond me. Then I see GreatWazoo42, Phez et al and it all becomes crystal clear.
