Put creed into your deed

I'm going to start today's post with the words of The Doctor. Well, a Doctor, not The Doctor. Dr Samuel Johnson to be precise.  He once wrote:

"Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself."

I am reminded of these words by a customer of mine, my mate 'Dave'.  I usually quote other people in order to refute, ridicule or berate them but in this instance I felt that irrespective of who is writing them, these words need to be broadcast to a wider audience. Here's what he had to say:

"I'm neither an engineer, nor a prop maker (of any sort), but even I can see compelling evidence when presented. Now, if I were to build a replica sonic (assuming I had time, inclination, and skill) I would shamelessly rip off your design because (a) I have two, and (b) it would be far easier than doing research myself, however I would at least admit to the fact.

Given that anyone who posts on the thread negatively about Rassilon1's design has been labelled part of the "Cult of CT", which is just a label they think they can apply to someone in order to "show" that their opinions can be readily dismissed, let's now talk about the "Cult of Hypocrites" that are currently supporting Rassilon1.

Many of these "cultist's" are the same people who were actively attacking your good self back in the Heritage-Gold-Gate days, and prior to that, as an unlicensed propmaker stealing business from the legitimate licensee (at the time MFX). They are also the same "cultist's" who actively support both QMx (official licensee) and Rassilon1 (unlicensed) who intends to *sell* product, thus making him distinctly different from a hobbyist propmaker. The hypocrisy shown by these people frankly beggars belief!

Virtually everything you ever said about the MFX sonic has been conclusively proven to be true, and virtually everything you've said about Rassilon1 has been accompanied by compelling evidence, and this, along with the continual redacting/altering of the RPF thread by Rassilon1, would only serve to confirm what you are saying in this case is also true. (I work by a simple maxim - if you are actively trying to hide something, clearly you have something to hide!)

The so-called "Cult of CT" has presented evidence and asked questions or Rassilob,[sic] whereas the "Cult of Hypocrites" have done nothing but just shown blind faith in someone who has previously been known to "recast", as dismissed anyone else's opinion as being part of a coordinated attack by your good self!

So, which one is the bunch of "cultist's" here? ;)

What really irritates me now is that most of Rassilon1's "cultist's" are claiming victory because a Moderator has stepped in and essentially said "no more talk of recasting" which effectively shuts down the debate - that isn't a victory, it is censorship and censorship is never good!"

Wise words indeed. 

There is a cancerous hypocrisy that underlies the intermittent conflicts that tend to flare up every time this sodding sonic screwdriver is mentioned. When I first started I never sought to become some kind of figurehead for any cause but I have found that in a world rife with lying, two faced, unprincipled and unskilled scumbags, my brand of straight talking makes many enemies but luckily, I am glad to say it has also won me many friends. I am pretty easy going but I don't like imbeciles, hypocrites and ill informed know-it-alls. I especially detest those that let sanctimonious outrage evaporate in the face of personal gain.  These cunts have the brazen cheek to ignore detailed, reasoned evidence they asked for and when given it, full bore, in the face, haven't the intellectual prowess to offer a rebuttal. 

This is not the first time the subject of hypocrisy has been brought up. Mooneye63 has previous raised this issue and was ignored. He subsequently raised the subject again and was ignored. Why am I not surprised? Because the answer will destroy the belief system that these deluded halfwits have built their cozy little world on.

I am a firm believer that whenever someone wants something cheap, principles will fly out of the window quicker than a greased neutrino with diarrhea. Sadly, this has been proven time and time again. One look at the retail carnage during Black Friday is enough to illustrate this point. 

Let me remind those with short memories what Mooneye63 and my mate Dave are talking about: When I first came on the scene I was villified and made to feel like a pariah because I was unlicenced and was infringing on the licence given by the BBC to MFX. I was even accused of recasting the MFX but knocked that accusation out of the park. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then and I have had apologies and made some good friends but there is still a hardcore of fuckers who cannot bring themselves to admit they were wrong and will continue to take a dig at me or anyone who happens to agree with me, clumping them all into some kind of imaginary 'cult'. 

The elasticity of the principles on display is astounding. On one hand they condemn and ostracise me for being unlicenced yet suck up to the licencees in a shock display of sycophantry whilst simultaneously buying and supporting unlicenced fan builds from Russ Brown or Cuntus McCollins because they happen to be cheap. The quandary that is presented is damning. Either you are against unlicenced replicas or you are not. It is not a difficult choice but somehow these fuckwits seem to live by the notion that you support licenced makers  and condemn the unlicenced ones unless you can get it cheaper from the unlicenced maker in which case it is perfectly ok. If that isn't a textbook example of hypocrisy I don't know what is.  I have a strong suspicion that this emnity is just a smokescreen for the jealousy and hatred they feel every time I make them look like idiots or wave something under their noses that they would give their one remaining testicle for.  Need I remind you of the episode last summer when Phez poured scorn on my claim of access to the sonic props? I spectacularly bitchslapped that fucker back in his place. So the next time any of these cunts like Dan Stokes, Phez, GreatWazoo, Karsten etc, etc take a dig at me, I shall hope that everyone who agrees with my stance on this to ask these cunts to answer this question before they earn the right to take the moral high ground with me.

One last thing, these fucking hypocrites seem to fall back on the 'cult of CT' barb everytime anyone dares to question their ludicrous claims or even presents a point of view that I happen to share, they are the bullies. If you ever have a problem or issue with me, come to my yard and do it. Take it up with me. I dare you to argue your case with me. You are all a bunch of spineless chickenshits. Don't do it from behind the safety of the RPF moderators. That is the last refuge of the coward. Trust me, if I wasn't banned from that board I would give you fuckers a beasting you wouldn't forget so when anyone someone calls you out when you're being out of line, you attack them because they agree with me and they voice their opinion? Very brave and very noble. My advice is go way, wipe your mouths, shut the fuck up and you might actually learn something about decency and principles.
