I just decided to write a bit of saftey info on WL facebook page. I just warned everyone that these lasers are not toys and should not be used as such. I also added that proper laser safety goggles should be warn and to get them from a trusted seller. Lastly I directed them here for further information.

In responce, WL has deleted my post, banned me from the facebook group and removed my rights to write on the wall after I joined the group again. WTF?

Sounds logical .. that could lower their sales ..

I never said not to buy it.... Just warned against using the laser inappropriately. Its funny because WL pretty much spat in Lucas Films face, when they placed the seize and desist letter up on ebay. Now if anyone bad mouths WL... you get cut off. People have been banned from their forums for just mentioning LPF.

Well it's their forum, sad as it is, they can do anything with it. And LPF generally is their competition .. why would you want to advertise competition on your forums ?

I know LPF is their competition... But banning for just mentioning? That's going a bit overboard, don't you think?

They sell stupid lasers, they use stupid advertisement, they employ 13 year old children .. in this light, banning someone for competition advertisement sounds like totally ordinary news .. :umbrella:

Now?!?!? This is nothing new. They have been doing that since 2006/2007. That was the main reason LPF was created. C0ld and others were banned for speaking their mind.

If there's one thing you can always count on it's that wicked lasers will continue to be a joke and embarrass the laser community.

Blinding astronauts and frying satellites? Who is that nonsense actually meant to appeal to? Probably the dumb kids who are gonna use it to blind chopper pilots and traffic.

My opinion is people don't like things they don't understand (That really p*sses me off), which is why putting this in the news is a fail.

On the plus side, the solid green beam will act to bring the cops straight to the morons.

This is meant to appeal to Americans with too much money and little ability to think rationally about incredible claims.
We all know that Crooked Lasers only cares about one thing: mo-money, mo-money, mo-money.
Yes, as is typical of >99% of commercial enterprises, the almighty dollar is the primary objective. One thing wicked has mastered is their ability to blatantly lie to customers and make outlandish (often false) claims about their products just to appeal to those with more money than intelligence. :undecided:

LOL :crackup:
We can only hope.

Yeah!

Making money... BAD!

Insulting your fellow countrymen... GOOD!

Why does it not surprise me that you are located in both LA & San Fran...

:wtf:

What's the big deal about that? There are very many stupid people in America and companies like Wicked exploit that. Also, you seem to be offended by his post, were you insulted? :rofl: Your sig looks familiar :tinfoil:

There aren't more stupid people in America than everywhere else.

If there's one thing I hate, that's stereotypisation; Americans are stupid/fat , Scotish are stupid/drunk, Dutch women are beautiful, [Random Country]'s are not, Croats are thieves.

Okay the last one is true :p
But my point being, that your point is invalid.

People buying an Arctic are not instantly American and/or stupid. And the two are not mutually inexclusive.

So why don't you all stop yelling how Wicked is using the stupid people. Focus on well reasoned comments based on some god-damned facts, like power measurements from Jayrob, if you want to bash a specific product.

Note, it won't do any good besides venting your own steam.

Addendum to note, Wicked sure as he11 does not care about your opinion. They've got their 1W green most powerful handheld laser, let them have it. You're not going to buy it anyhow, why bang your head against the wall?

Everybody chill out and let it die.
