It's just a flesh wound!

I'm not normally one to kick someone when they are down but in Keith 'Cuntus' McCollins' case I take great pleasure in making a rare exception. The reason being is that this fuckstick numbnut makes himself such an easy target my in-built urge to brutalise shits like him is too hard to resist. It wasn't until after I reflected on why this deluded soul chooses to continue on his merry way utterly oblivious to the tattered remnants of whatever credibility he still clings to that I remembered the above gem from Monty Python's Holy Grail. I sincerely hope that the symbology in the above clip is not lost with the Ned Kellyesque metal bucket helmet and the black kinght's plaintive cry of 'yellow bastards'. It seems obvious now that Collins' is a proponent of the warped notion that if one does not give up then one cannot lose. Which makes his latest salvo in his decidedly one sided conflict with me all the funnier:

"Things have been a little to quiet today so I have posted some more pic’s of the Custom built sonic that this thread is all about. 

And by that I mean on both ends of the small housing that screws into the grip, have used M14x1.5 T.P.I now Bull Dog,….. be a good Apprentice and tell the good members what type of thread that is,…………. that’s right its a………. metric thread, any descent Engineer will tell you that. You don’t use fine threads in Aluminium, as they will strip out under load and not only that they will cross thread all so easily, so you would never use such a thread on a Aluminium sonic screwdriver of any season.

Now clean the wax out of your hairy ears this is very important Bull Dog, we are going to talk about threads.

In Unified threads that’s UNF that’s what is used in the aircraft industry (measured in inches), there are numbered diameters #0 through #10, with 0 the smallest and 10 the largest. 

(Diameters #12 and #14 may also be found, but are usually on older equipment and needed for repairs or restorations. #14 is close to, but not exactly the same as, 1/4-inch.) 

The major diameter in Unified threads = 0.060" + 0.013"*(numbered diameter). So #2 has a major diameter of 0.086". The odd numbers exist, but the even numbers are in far more common use. 

For screws larger than a #10, the diameters are listed in fractional inches. For instance, a 1/4-20 screw has a 1/4-inch major diameter. 

For metric threads, e.g. M3.5, the number following the M is the major diameter of the external thread in millimeters.

For Unified threads, the number given is threads per inch. For instance, a 1/4-20 screw has 20 threads per inch. 

For metric threads, the thread pitch is given in millimeters per thread. Thus, an M14 x 1.5 screw has threads every 1.5mm. Although most metric fasteners have two or more standard pitches (fine & coarse threads), 

There are two major metric "industrial standards": DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung (German) and the JIS Japanese Industrial Standards. Although these standards are closely related and often identical, there will be cases where say a JIS M8 bolt may not have the same pitch as a DIN M8 bolt. Now are you getting this down Bull Dog, if not just cut and past it and read it later ok."

I am highly amused by his tone of faux condescenscion, daring to lecture me on my craft. Aside from the fact he has spelt 'decent' utterly wrong and he's made a pig's ear of the bulb end, there was something about the post that immediately struck me as being off kilter. It wasn't even the totally tangental way he decided to lecture the forum on the totally irrelevant subject of screw threads. (I mean, who the fuck cares? Just make the fucking thing!). Something was very amiss.....

Yes!

That's it. His spelling and grammar suddenly improved. I wonder why?

I'll tell you why. A quick Google phrase search will produce this:

http://www.wikihow.com/Read-a-Screw-Thread-Callout

This idiot, this fool, this utter moron, has only just gone and cut and pasted whole swathes off the Internet in a child-like attempt to appear more than the dim witted knuckle dragging simpleton he is. Not only did he not even bother to change the wording, he didn't even change the order either. The first rule of plagiarism: don't make it easy to get caught so change what you've plagiarised! It seems that even this didn't even occur to this bone head. If I wasn't so amused by this juvenile attempt at oneupsmanship, I would actually be disgusted by his stupidity. I've said it before, it's not hard to feel sorry for this cretin when you see his pathetic attempts to get one over on me just descend into farcical self harm. 

One other thing: Note his solid aluminium bulb end. I am amused to see that he has changed the angle of the rear tip after I called his out on it. It is not just obvious that he's just changed that and tacked it on to the approximate dimensions of my bulb end, it's also incredibly funny. You know what? I'm going to let him carry on as this is a hilarious lesson in ineptitude. I hope his supporters enjoy what promises to be a dog's dinner of shoddy inaccuracy. More fool them. You get what you pay for, I suppose. If you can't afford the best, bargain basement will have to do. In that respect Keith Collins is doing something worthwhile during this global recession and providing a cheapo option for the plebs.

I'm going to leave you with this. I am highly tickled this made number 1 in Australia:

Never underestimate the power of stupidity

You have to admire the sheer persistence that comes with the blissful ignorance of one's own limitless stupidity. Having been categorically steam rollered by the damning evidence against him, Keith Collins/Rassilon1 is totally unfazed by being shown to be the lying thieving scrote he is and continues to persevere in his goal of producing a sonic screwdriver. I am actually highly amused by this even though in a strange way it is not a million miles away from watching a slow motion car crash.

Remember, this is an individual who:

• Has  previously been asked by another respected RPF member, 'RogueScout', to refrain from copying his work
• Has not issued a single credible rebuttal of any of the allegations made against him
• Has subsequently changed his blueprints inexplicably and suddenly when my claims were made against him hoping that no-one would notice.

Like some kind of drunken fool, he continues to make an utter tit of himself, deluding himself in his peculiarly mangled brand of pidgin english, that he is in possession of more than a couple of brain cells. Here is his latest piece of incomprehensible buffoonery and I have to say, this is brilliant. I really don't need to attack this guy since he does such a fine job of self-sabotage it is bordering on comic self harm. (My responses in RED)

"Phez, when machining or drilling acrylics, one needs to think about drill point geometry on various materials, and the fact that, acrylics have a very low melting point. 

Starts off well. "Drill point geometry" is a suitably impressive piece of meaningless jargon that combines with a nice stating-the-obvious factoid about acrylics. 

Now I will keep this very simple, Bull Dog can understand it, he then can go and do a decent job on that mess he made of his acrylics shafts, you would think that been a so called “ENGINEER” you would know this, oh well he must of missed that part in getting his Chinaman’s engineering degree, more than likely getting a Chinese lobotomy that day, as that would explain a very grate deal.

If you want me to understand anything, try writing in English. I don't know what you're translating from but fucking hell, it is disgraceful. I would suggest you learn basic English before you graduate onto anything as challenging as engineering. If that's too hard for you still, try learning how to walk and chew gum at the same time. And it's 'great' NOT 'grate' you fucking simpleton. The only thing that grates is your butchery of English.

So here is what he would have learned, if you had actually attended an engineering university.

My engineering credentials are impeccable. I attended City University of Hong Kong and I have a post graduate degree from Imperial College. My work has been deemed good enough for my national space program as well as next generation mag lev mass transit systems. I am intelligent, witty, erudite and articulate. You...you're a boorish, uneducated thieving yobbo with the intelligence of a turnip, an unhealthy interest in scatology and I wager you probably smell like a dungheap too.

To drill acrylics you need to have a drill point angle of 118 Degrease, with a lathe speed of between 100 and 130 and no more, as any faster and you will prejudice to much drill tip friction heat, and it is no longer cutting at the cutting edge, but melting the acrylic. So, slow speed with the correct drill point angle.

What the fuck has prejudice got to do with drilling?! 

And the second an very much 80% to getting a clean and clear drilled hole in acrylic, is the use of an oil with a viscosity of water, this must be constantly added to the drill cutting surface at the same point as you are removing the acrylic sworf from the drill flutes.

Don’t let the drill flutes fill up with acrylic sworf as this will lead to the acrylic sworf getting jammed in the flutes of the drill and will lead to heat & heat will intern melt the acrylic and you will get fine cracks on the drilled hole surface, heat is the enemy in any machining work.

Yep have plenty more photos of the Rassilon1 custom Tennant sonic kit, to educate bull dog, on how to engineer a Rassilon1 Custom Tennant Sonic. 

Er right....you're going to teach me how to engineer my own sonic? Go ahead, I could do with the laugh. I mean seriously, this is going to be very educational.

All the aluminium parts have been sent for hard anodizing, yep that’s rite, and all the aluminium parts will be clear hard anodized, why would I incorporate into my Rassilon1 custom Tennant sonic build kit, clear hard anodized parts. 

Whatever you say chump. And it's 'right' not 'rite' you fool. 

This is so you the builder or the assembler of the Rassilon1 custom Tennant sonic kit, will have nice clean sonic build kit parts that won’t form Aluminium oxide on the surface due to constant daily use.

Obviously you've never heard of Alclad. Fucking amateur...

This will be covered latter in my Rassilon1 custom Tennant sonic build kit thread."

To recap, this fuckwit. This dozy, thick-as-pigshit, doughnut, has questioned my ability yet he stole my engineering and my ideas and observations for his build. He has now figured he will attempt to get one over on me by drilling a channel into his perspex rod cleanly. Note the immense pride he feels over what he feels is a major victory against me. Note the self satisfaction, the deluded self aggrandizement evident in his rambling and condescending 'drilling acrylic 101' lecture he has given to Phez Petter. However, this is short lived as Jedibugs immediately take the wind out of his sails in the following  post:

"Not only is this statement rife with offensive language that is at best culturally insensitive and possibly racist, but it's also totally inaccurate insofar as the info on the Acrylic shafts. 

The shafts are not botch jobs, they are intentionally cloudy. They were actually changed from perfectly clear to cloudy in order to be screen accurate. Here is a photo posted here to the RPF by Neill Gorton, of him holding a screen-used Season 3-4 Sonic Screwdriver. Notice anything about the channel in the acrylic rod?

If anything, he didn't drill his cloudy enough... I can still see the wires in mine!"

This is akin to a guy boasting about how observant he is and suddenly turning around and knocking himself out cold by walking into a lamp post. We all knew Collins was a cock but this just defies belief in the stupidity stakes and has brought his credibility (which was already hovering around zero) plummeting into the southern reaches of the negative number scale. It also puts the final nail in Dan Stokes contention that this is a guy who has enough observational prowess to spot the details in the prop that I did. If he can't even spot a detail as basic as this then the rest of his rather gaseous denials of plagiarising my work seem rather pathetic, don't they?

As for his engineering skill or lack thereof, I want you all to take a look at Cuntus McCollins' (hastily) revised emitter head. (It's 'emitter' NOT 'transmitter' you fucking moron). For someone who professes to be skilled or trained in engineering, it is has a decidedly fatal flaw. Can anyone see what it is yet? I saw it immediately as did Jedibugs.

I must admit, having a pop at this guy does seem like shooting fish in a barrel. He has evidently got some serious learning difficulties which does make him a very easy target. However, the man is not helping himself by continuing to steal, lie and put one over on me when it is apparent he is outclassed in every way. I must confess to a certain degree of morbid curiousity about his continued need to try and put one on me yet succeeding only in smacking himself full tilt around the head and falling face first into the shit. 

Be like a urinal. Take no shit. Part 2

After a quick wash and brush up after the hilarity of systematically dismantling Dan Stokes, we move on to Keith Collins, a man who is as hamfisted in his mangling grasp of the english language as he is with formulating any cohesive argument.  Before we proceed, I'd like to warn you that Collins' english is fucking atrocious. I have had more comprehensible emails from Nigeria.

After I called him out yesterday, the man has been frantically redesigning his sonic build blueprints to remove their similarity to my version. The amazing thing is how his sonic blueprints have gone from a 'final update' to being 'designs that I posted, where just that, design concepts, however in retrospect, I should not have posted them, as they were not intended for manufacture only as a stepping stone to a finished production design.' within an hour or two of me putting him under the cosh. Despite the overwhelming evidence I have posted he still maintains he never referred to my sonic as a reference. However, actions speak louder than words. The fucker has been caught with his hands in the till and his guilt has compelled him change it. Ask yourself, if he has done nothing wrong, why did he decide to change the sonic immediately after I called him out? If you genuinely have done nothing to be ashamed of, why not just stick with your original final design? This is a question that none of these cunts have addressed. They never will because the answer is obvious.

Aside from his butchery of English and his selective retconning of the facts, one of the things that really, really fucks me off about this uneducated piece of cock fluff is his belligerence to those that happen to share my point of view. Here's a reply he posted to LeAngeSolitaire. If you can decipher this gibberish, please help me out as this is fucked up shit.

"Bring it on then, You have already decided that fate, sometime back due to the fact that I’m building a Custom Tennant Sonic.

Your most likely an Ok guy outside this forum, but that’s’ not what I’m seeing here, you are been difficult an will only except one persons sick blog.

I mean look at how he communicates, no one with some intelligence would talk like that, seriously would you have him over for tea to meet your family, and you have decided no matter what to be a part of his Cyber bullying, all for what.

This project will still go ahead no matter how much him and his cyber bullies gang attach me, the more you attach me the more determined I will be, you obviously don’t know me to know that.
....however you will...

I ask you, what will you hope to get from him in return, what will any of you that follow that sick individual, hope to get.

It has been explained to you over and over again by Anikin but you just seem not to except it.

The thing is why should I care whether you like me or not, you stated it with your negativity posts and your crap that has been fed to you by Bull Dog.

When you start been positive and helpful and supportive to the members of this forum and there builds, until then, why should I care.

Oh I do like you, I think we could be best Sonic buddies.

I was not joking about my Nutty & Nice list

Which side of the list are you on."

?????????????????????????

I have seen more coherent car crashes. What amused me is this small part that kind of makes some sense:

"I mean look at how he communicates, no one with some intelligence would talk like that, seriously would you have him over for tea to meet your family, and you have decided no matter what to be a part of his Cyber bullying, all for what."

Actually I communicate perfectly well thank you. You will also find the general consensus being that my intelligence is vastly superior to your's. In fact, I have seen petri dishes of bacteria exhibit more coherence than you. You seem like a bit of a mess to me. Go clean yourself up. 

He goes on to call me a 'sick individual'. But check out his Flickr stream and you judge who is sicker. Any dipshit that has an unhealthy obsession with young girls sitting on the shitter has no business calling anyone sick.

I think this has turned out quite well. I have prevented the recasting of my work and I've taken down a couple of smug pencil-dicked little bollock jugglers a peg or two and hopefully scared the thieving little shite into refraining from theft in the future. I've had worse days in the office...

Be like a urinal. Take no shit. Part 1

"He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a weathered phrase, a man of honor by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in the world and a good enough man for any world...He is a common man or he could not go among common people. He has a sense of character, or he would not know his job. He will take no man’s money dishonestly and no man’s insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge"

Raymond Chandler

That quote from Chandler sums up how I roll. Having had our thought for the day, let's proceed with the business at hand: Cuntus McCollins and Dan Stokes.

Let's deal with that knobgobbler Stokes first since he's the most vocal of Collins' defenders.

He asked for specific points where my sonic was similar to Collins' build and in my last blog entry I gave them. I even numbered them for ease of assimilation, trying to keep it below 10 in order to avoid overloading his brain's processing power.

In response to this, he gave two half assed and quite lame reasons why the first two observations I gave did not count and incomprehensibly, threw in the towel just when things were getting interesting and posted the following:

"If the individual points on which an argument it based do not hold up, then the conclusion is invalid. You're saying that it seems clear that Rassilon re-cast CT's sonic. I'm asking you which points in CT's argument seem persuasive to you, and you're saying, look at his blog. If Rassilon is accused of re-casting, the burden of proof is on the accuser. CT has made his claims, it is up to us to evaluate those points. You are saying you are convinced. I'm asking what points convince you. If CT's claims cannot stand up to scrutiny, his argument is invalid."

So instead of doing what most normal people would do, and that is answer each point and argue them, he just makes a blanket statement that none of the points hold up without giving any reasons why they didn't hold up. Instead he asks everybody else to evaluate the points on his behalf. Incredible. Let's get this straight: The man asks for detailed points from me, reads through them. Decides to give the first two points a stab and then realising he's fucked, and he hasn't got a leg to stand on, decides to mumble something that all the points do not hold up and in panic decides to enlist the help of anyone else to help bail him out of the intellectual pit he's dug himself. You couldn't make this shit up. So Dan, instead of talking shit about how wrong I am, why don't you answer my points in the same format I provided them. And while you're at it, why don't you tell Roguescout he's also wrong?

After thinking some more (gee, it must have hurt), Stokes has go at refuting my claim that Collins' body blueprint reproduces the errors of mine. You guys have to read this, it's really, really special (my response in RED):

"The charge that Rassilon copied the innacuratcies in CT's sonic's body geometry doesn't seem to hold up to me. He says that Rassilon copied his design by replicating the flaws inherent in his season 4 Tenannt sonic. But I don't see this. Now that's a surprise. You're a cretin, of course you wouldn't see it. 

CT's season 4 Tennant sonic (as he himself states) is inaccurate because he changed the main body of his season 1-2 sonic, but did not change the aluminum end piece (not the cap but the aluminum connecting piece that links the main body to the black end cap) thus making this section of the sonic too thin. Actually that is not what I said. I created my Tennant sonic by transposing the general diameters of the Season 1-2 sonic onto the new ridge shape. I also did a minor change on the lower neck but kept the diameters the same.

 But, I don't see this inaccuracy on Rassilon's sonic at all. Then you are either blind or your closedmindedness has left you in denial. Any idiot can see how the lower end below the ridges starts to taper drastically on Collins' plans. Just like mine.

The reason why Rassilon's sonic appears inaccurate to any particular version of Tennant's sonic is because it uses the larger diameter aluminum end piece (that comes from the season 4 sonic) and combines it with a season 3 slider sonic body like that shown in Runaway Bride and Utopia --which has a shorter slider channel and thinner grip ridges. So, Rassilon's soinc is a custom interpretation of Tennants prop because it uses an idealized season 3 body and and idealized season 4 connector end piece. But CT's sonic uses an idealized version of the season 4 body and combines it with the connector end piece from his season 1 replica

Can you see what this idiot is doing here? He's trying to bamboozle with talk of different season sonic bodies and by doing so hoping you don't realise he's actually making it up as he's going along. Confused? I'm not. Stokes is refering to the intermediate sonic featured on Runaway Bride that featured a slider on a Season 1 body. Stokes is utterly wrong when he says that this sonic has thinner ridges. The ridges are the same width on all the sonics, just a different shape. He's only saying that to make it fit in with Collins' piss poor drawing. In effect he's saying that the Season 4 lower neck and collar are a wider diameter than the Season 1 version and the body below the ridges on the Season 4 sonic is of a wider diameter than the Season 1 body. Again, that is basically true. However he claims Collins' plans feature a larger diameter Season 4 lower neck and collar on a smaller diameter Season 1 body. Then how come the collar is actually the same if not smaller than the diameter of the lower body then? Just like mine in fact:

This single bit of artifice is enough to convince me and everyone at home that nothing this rectal wrangler is clearly full of shit and has no clue about what he is talking about."

Stokes proceeds to post the following up :

"This is not true. CT has posted lies on his blog before to discredit people he saw as his competition. He posted that I was working with Russell Brown to sell fan made Tennant sonics in an attempt to get Russ in trouble with MFX by making them think that he was selling their products through the back door to me. This was entirely untrue. There was no basis for CT to make this statement and its purpose was to discredit my sonic design, to implicate Russ in selling unlicensed Tennant sonics, and to raise my name as a point of interest for the BBC in case anyone was handing out CODs.

I actually had this info from some very reliable sources. Your denials don't make them lies. These are allegations that may or may not be true depending on proof. I believe they are. Funny how your talk of a sonic run went VERY quiet shortly after I mentioned this isn't it? I know both you and Russ are bent. I have proof  Russ has been selling MFX's out of the back door for £140 a pop. I've let this lie for over a year. You want to dig it up? Really?! Do you know what kind of a bastard I am? Do not force me to do something both of you will regret. Take this one opportunity I am giving you and drop it. Now. I won't warn you again.

Now he's trying to bully Rassilon out of proceeding with his run by claiming that Rassilon is a re-caster. He has posted a list of claims that are supposed to support this assertion and it is my contention that this list be critically evaluated before Rassilon is convicted in the court of public opinion. I'm trying to critically evaluate this list to see what claims hold up in order to determine if the accusation as a whole is true. For one reason, because I know from my own experience that CT DOES post lies on his blog and two because I generally think that people are Innocent until proved guilty and any claim of re-casting on this board should be subject to such scrutiny.

Since when did I ever say I wanted Collins to stop his run? I just want him to stop using my design as reference and redesign his sonic with the stuff he's copied from mine changed. Nothing more, nothing less. I couldn't give a shit as I have a perfect replica coming out in the next few weeks. And yes, my list needs to be critically evaluated. So why don't you do it then? the list has been up for hours now, surely you might have found something to prove me wrong on. You fucking moron. Instead of relying on other people, put your money where your ego is and prove me wrong then you cunt.  Enough with the talk, start scrutinising you hapless, brainless fool. I know you're trying but you're getting NOWHERE because my allegations are indefensible"

So there you have it. Dan Stokes has been bitchslapped. He asked for it, I gave it, and he couldn't deal with it. Nothing he says can be trusted and nothing he says has any relevance. He's a nobody, a jumped up punk who couldn't deal with the truth.

Stoking the flames

It seems as if I've embarrassed Cuntus McCollins into a massive bout of backpedalling and furious and hasty revision of his plagiarised sonic. Result! But I'll get onto that later.

On a more disturbing note is the defence of this fetid piece of dickcheese by possibly one of the thickest, most closeminded and gullible windowlickers on the planet, our old friend Anakin Starkiller/Dan Stokes. Honestly, either this bell end is being deliberately blind to the quite overwhelming proof of Collins' recasting antics or he genuinely is just full-retard. He claims that Collins could have arrived at the same design as mine independently and by looking at the rubbish public pics of the prop. Let's have a bit of fun with Stokes shall we? Here's what he wrote and as usual, my responses in RED:

"Right, so what are the specific points then to be addressed that argue that Rasslion reverse engineered a CT sonic rather than working off of pics of the original?

Since your miniscule little legume of a brain hasn't been able to process my previous blog, I'm going to have spell it out to you:

1) The shallow lens cap recess - The original was much deeper. I put that in as it allowed me to fix the height in which the lens cap would sit as the original prop's lens varied in the height it was installed.

2) The bisected strut - This is a feature that I pointed out, I provided proof in the form of the Aztec pictures. Until I did, the Aztec sonic was unheard of and no one even knew they made the sonic let alone knew their website.

3) The screw in ball coupler - Again, this is not an idea I am claiming sole ownership over, moreover I am claiming ownership over how it is executed. The cylindrical nature of the coupler finishing in a circular seam on the lower inside of the emitter head recess is something I first pointed out here on this blog and backed up with photographic proof that was NOT available online.

4) The cylindrical LED holder - Again this was something that is unique to my build and gained through my access to the prop. This was never seen on any publicly available photo and was argued about until I provided an enhanced pic that showed the seam in the upper part of the head recess. 

5) Solid Anodized black bulb - I am the only person to have done this. It was something unique to my build and I added it for aesthetic reasons and reasons of balance. It just felt nicer to hold than the Delrin of the original prop.

6) The angle of the end tip - I deliberately altered the design of the black bulb to change it from the original prop including the dimensions of the black bulb which were a little smaller than the prop and had a distinctive tip end. This alteration is NOTICEABLY different and distinctive from the prop yet has been reproduced by Collins including the same angle of slope as mine. Stokes, I know you're a fucking deadhead but even you can see how different my black bulb is from the prop?

7) The slider plate - I made mine deliberately rectangular and is noticeably so from the prop. Look, Collins' slider plate also has this rectangular flaw. Funny that.

8) Overall dimensions - I know the dims of the Tennant prop because I measured it. My version is off on several of these dimensions including length and a specific lower diameter (some people will know precisely what diameter I am talking about - I held it over erroneously from my extrapolation of the Season 1-2 sonic). This mistake has been replicated in its entirety by Collins, something that should NEVER have happened if pics of the prop were used. In fact, the dimensions of Collins' build is closer to mine than to the actual prop and I have full sets of blueprints for both. Asp9mm will know precisely what I am talking about and i might even forward precisely what I mean to others too. You want to take me on Stokes? Really? I'd fucking mince you like I have with others who thought they could pull a fast one on me.

These are features that appear on my build, are unique to my build and were the result of research proprietory to ME. One feature appearing on someone else's build is a coincidence and can be put down to independent development but all 8?! Surely you're not that thick. Actually, don't answer that. I'm sure you're even more retarded than I give you credit for.  

Is it the fact that the window in his emitter head intersects a little bit with the struts? This can be seen in the pic of the sonic posted on the Aztec website. Yes, CT is right in saying that his replica has this feature and the MFX sonic doesn't, but all that proves is that Rasslion didn't copy his replica from a MFX sonic. If the detail is on the original prop, and if that detail can be seen on publicly available pictures, then why would one think that Rassilon copied CT's work because his replica shares these details.

Before I pointed this out and before Aztec's involvement was publicly known, this picture and this feature was not noticed. Now I have pointed it out, it is difficult to 'unsee' but up until now the only place where this feature can be clearly seen is on my replica and if Collins has lifted other pieces of my design, it doesn't take Sherlock fucking Holmes to see where he got this other detail from now, does it? You fucking dunce.

 

Now, I don't know Rassilon at all. So, I have no reason to think one way or another that he would or would not work off of references from CT's site. But to me, having the emitter head and ball coupling screw together seems like an intuative engineering decision that two designers could have made independantly. (I mean they either screw together or they are glued together, those really are the only two options right?) And both CT and Rassilon seem like they were trying to replicate features of the orignal prop that can be seen on the original prop. Now CT may have some bragging rights for being able to have been the first person to publically call people's attention to certain details of the orignal prop. But working from details of the original prop that another member pointed out is not recasting. Directly copying another member's work is. CT states "Unless Cuntus McCollins has been living under Ayre's-****ing-rock for the past three years, there is no way he cannot have been unaware of my work" But being aware of the discoveries made by another hobbyist is not recasting. So, for an example, I was the first person to find an original accurate Armitage Shanks handwheel and show to the board that it broke down into four pieces and that the pommel cubes could be flipped. But when board members began to replicate these characteristics of the orignal prop in their designs, that was not re-casting. I did not own those features of the orignal prop just because I noticed them first.

Collins has a track record of stealing other people's work. He's a lazy thieving little cunt and lazy thieving little cunts take the path of least resistance when it comes to hard work. In this case, why should he bother doing all the research when it has already been done for him? If is was possible to create an accurate replica from publicly available pics why hasn't someone done it sooner? I know people like yourself and Phez have taken my discoveries on the prop and used them. It's easier to use other people's discoveries than to discover for yourself but be honest about it and don't try and showboat when you are standing on the shoulders of someone else. The Armitage Shanks handwheel example is clearly irrelevant here as it is a found object. Once you manage to get to your hands on a custom built prop kept under lock and key and document it, then come back to me. Until then, shut the fuck up you're embarrassing yourself.

For Rassilon to have re-cast CT's work, he would have had to reverse engineer CT's work--ie. buy a CT sonic and copy it, or maybe get someone to measure theirs and work backwards or some other direct lineage of copying. And I haven't heard evidence being discussed here that says that this is the case. CT says that his emitter head is an identical 1:1 replica of the emitter head of the Season 1 sliding sonic. So logically, if Rasslion was working off of pics of the season 1 slider, or these season 4 prop that Nick Robbato converted the season 1 slider into (which are available on the rubbertoe webcite) Rasslion's sonic would match CT's sonic in the features mentioned right?

You really are a total moron aren't you? I've already stated that Collins used pics of my sonic, which are plentiful on the net and better quality than ones of the prop and he scaled and measured them using a ruler. The fact that he has large error margins tells me this is the case. But tell me, how is it that Collins design conveniently matches mine on the areas you CANNOT see? How come the only part he admits to not being able to figure out are the only parts I have not shown pics of? You are such a blinkered and narrow minded fool, you're as bad as Phez Petter when it comes to believing what you want to believe in the face of overwhelming logic, common sense and irrefutable facts.

Also, in CT's blog post, he says that Rassilon copied Rouge Scout's Romana sonic, and CT portrays this as a pattern of re-casting by Rassilon. But as far as I remember, when Rassilon posted drawings of his Romana sonic, they looked quite a bit different from Rouge Scout's design.

Here's Rouge Scout's

Here's Rassilon's

http://www.therpf.com/attachments/f9...008d1322477661

In fact, the very fact that Rassilon went to such an effort to make a Romana sonic that is so very different from Rough Scout's would make me think that he's specifally trying hard not to copy another member's work.

But that's not what happened is it Dan? Roguescout made his last post on the 27th November forbidding his work to be used as any kind of reference for Collins' Romana build.  Collins' then hurriedly changes his designs to avoid rocking the boat and posts pics of his build on the 28th November. The reason why he's specifically trying hard not to copy another's work is because his original was a direct rip off of Roguescout's, Roguescout got pissed off, pulled his work and in order not to be accused of recasting, he went out of his way to change the design. That sounds much more likely, doesn't it? Maybe you should ask Roguescout why he pulled his plans? Or do you think he's being unreasonable too?

So, I don't really see a pattern of recasting other members going on here.

That just about sums up your observational skills doesn't it? Thankfully others aren't as mentally deficient.

Also, if Rassilon was going to copy CT's work, why is the body of his sonic so completely different from either CT's season 1 sonic or his season 4 sonic? (And for that matter the MFX prop)

Because those ridges are a nightmare to reproduce. No doubt the finished product will resemble one of the two.

My point is that if this thread is going to be the place where CT's accusations of re-casting are brought to bear on Rassilon, then board members should reference the specifics of those accusations rather than just saying "there are many features" because such an approach doesn't deal with specifics, it just casts a vague cloud of suspicion.

I've just given you specifics, Stokes, you massive fucking tool. You know it, and I know it. Collins is a thief, a liar and a conniving little douche. His computer is probably full of pics with my watermark on them and all but the dumbest of dumb fucks, and you, would not see that he used mine as a basis for replication. Stop being a pathetic useless waste of space supporting an indefensible thieving carpetbagger. You contend that Collins could have seen some of these details from public pics of the prop but consider this:

If his observation is as good as you think it is and he could have seen details you would have trouble seeing in high res let alone low res, why did he replicate the same OBVIOUS mistakes that were on mine on his build if his sole source of reference were pics of the prop? Even Stevie Wonder could have seen the problem with the lower diameter and the black bulb. Answer me that, you fucking dickhead.

I sincerely hope you have your hamfisted knuckleheaded excuses for workmanship recast someday by a lying cocksucker like Collins.

When is an explanation not an explanation?

....when it's given by Keith Collins. Here is his rather anti-climatic rejoinder to my accusations: (My responses in RED)

"The Cult of CT has arrived, I new that it would happen one day, as I have been warned about this by other members, that they would start showing up, and there job is to attack anyone that looks like having a go at the 10th doctors sonic, as according to them there can only be one.

I'm going to overlook your atrocious spelling and give this to you straight. There is no 'cult'. I have some great customers and all exhibit their own free will to call it like they see it. In this instance, they see a freeloading scumbag lying thieving toad with all the scruples of an inveterate criminal opportunist. I don't think I've ever said that no-one can replicate the 10th Doctor sonic. Just don't steal my construction designs or dimensions. You want to change the way it's put together, change the parts I designed, feel free but the moment you start fucking around with my work, we have a BIG problem.

The only thing that band member he is good at, is expanding my use of bad English.

I suppose the irony of the spelling and grammar of this sentence is lost on you.

This image is the base from which I made most of my dimensions from, I scaled it to size and used a ruler to do the rest, and used 3D inventor to model the sonic.

Others was from screen grabs & photo’s taken from the net of Sonics, have used various photo’s to help with building my custom sonic.

Yes, pics and photos of MY sonic build. So how do you explain the numerous unique design features only found on MY sonic that somehow made their way into YOUR build? Can you explain that? How did you know about the window bisecting the strut when prior to 2008 no one knew about it and it was not immediately visible on any of the public domain pics of the prop? How do you explain the threaded ball coupler or the LED holder cylinder or the shallow lens recess? This is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard.

Some of the design that was posted, where just that, design concepts, however in retrospect I now should not have posted them, or been so forth coming until I had a final design.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt for a nanosecond, just how did you arrive at the precise design details that you display on your blueprints? I am interested to hear this. I can give you exact reasons for mine backed up with design sketches, notes and blueprints. Can you?

As now this has only given the band member fuel to attach me on.

You have done this yourself with your blatant thievery. RogueScout already wised up to your antics as others have on other boards. I beleive you were also banned from one of the TARDIS boards for recasting. Face it, you're a thief and a liar. You're also a cunt of the 1st degree.

I have never been to his site but I can see why no one would make the Tennant sonic now He is a good example of a cyber bully.

Actually, I am a good example of a man of principle who will not tolerate conniving, crooked, thieving scum like you. If you had decided to make a Tennant sonic that did NOT plagiarise mine, wholesale, I would have left you alone. But you decided to chance it and by doing so you have shown the world what a low life piece of shit you really are. You want to play in my pond Collins?

Make sure you have cast iron underpants as I will chew your bollocks off.

I do not intend to deviate from what I have started, I can‘t be cyber bullied into submission, by him or any others from his cult, I do not go to his site as it is a waste of space. Frankly why would I, it is of very little value to the human race.

No Keith, YOU are the waste of space. Scum like you are of little value to the human race because you are a parasite. You take and steal and give nothing back. You attempt to shine in the reflected glory of others because you have no light of your own to give. You are a contemptible piece of shit and you are not worth the steam that rises from my piss on a cold day. You're the type of wanker who would rob your own grandmother and then sleep soundly because you lack the conscience that differentiates us from the animals we once were. You want to pass judgement on me? Take a long hard look in the mirror first.

I still will be posting pic’s of the Rassilon1 Custom Tennant Sonic on the due date as mentioned, and this will be the first & last response to any negativity directed by the cult of CT

We shall see, won't we? ;-) "

UPDATE: It appears that I have had an effect on Cuntus McCollins afterall. He's now hurriedly changed his emitter design slightly. Here's the updated one:

I suppose if I chip at him long enough he will remove all the stuff he's stolen from my original design.

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.
