I went to the laser community forum and made a post in a thread where someone was asking what laser pointer to buy. He was looking at the Spyder II. I posted that he should "...give Optotronics a serious look." When I reviewed my post it was automatically changed to "... give Wicked Lasers a serious look." They put words in my mouth!! That made me mad. So I Edited the post to say "Google: RPL Laser and click the first result". Then my post was deleted all together.
I have since come to realize that the laser community forum is a wicked lasers forum. I am totally turned off by wicked laser. They will never get my business. First, I didn't bash wicked laser in any way. I just mentioned the competition. Obviously they are afraid of what the competition has to offer. Second, they should probably call it the "wicked laser fourm" so people aren't led to believe that it is an open forum for the entire "laser community" to speak freely. Third, they shouldn't put words in my mouth. If I hadn't checked my post I would have inadvertently advised someone to consider wicked lasers. If they must censor, then "...give XXXXXXX a serious look" would have been a better approach.
I just needed to vent. I'll be moving along now. :
