Geo - is your sole purpose here to try to aggravate people and create arguments? What is actually your purpose here? I accepted your apology, and yet you continue to post argumentative crap. I'm moving this topic to the "other" section since it seems like your only purpose is to argue with people. My post on you tube was never for the purpose of promoting laser safety - nor was it even remotely to promote lasing airplanes like you see fit to use as an example. The purpose of my video was to show that there is something else you can do with lasers other than wear pocket protectors, chem. suits, gas masks, welding helmets, and make fun of what you assume is irresponsible. It was to show that people can have FUN with lasers. I make no assumptions about the level of intelligence of others until they post drivel. Then it confirms many thoughts that roll around in my head. Oh, and before you or anyone else even says it, yeah - my typing sucks, I have worn out many a backspace key cause the fingers just don't work fast enough on the keyboard.
I have not ever made any safety videos - nor do I intend to. Have you? Let's see some videos that you have done to further people's interest into the field of lasers. Let's hear some constructive comments on others work, or some help to those that need questions answered. Let's see something constructive from you, period.
Get over the video. I do not regret making the video - if youngsters or irresponsible people watch that video, and get ideas in their heads then that is between them, and their little brains. Ever hear the term that guns don't kill people, people kill people? Ya - same thing applies here. Lasers are not harmful by themselves; it takes an idiot pointing it at his eye, or someone else's eye to do damage. It takes idiots to lase airplanes - I already had this conversation on a different forum where a 39 year old idiot was shining lasers at passing cars. I suggest you go read up on that conversation. People may see a video of someone igniting matches with a laser, and then go buy a laser and do that, and burn down their house in the process - does that mean we should blame the maker of the video? Aim your criticism wisely, and chose your targets a little bit better. Yeah, I'm not so nice when I get pissed off - I let this topic go, because everyone deserves a fair shake when it comes to voicing your opinions, but you have outdone yourself. Yeah - was this a contest to see if you could piss off Senkat? Well, join the club of the clueless that have already been there before you. I am rescinding my acceptance of your apology, as it was not given in good faith, nor was it meant to be sincere.
I have never left my lasers sitting out where the un-knowing can get a hold of them and lase a window, or whatever like you did. I would NEVER do that. So, as the saying goes, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Now – opinions are welcomed on this, and many other forums – but opinions cease to be welcomed when you try to cram them down peoples throats. Then it becomes tiresome to reply to them, makes people upset, and runs off people from the forum that can catually contribute to the forum, or have genuine questions, because all they see is a bunch of people yelling at each other like a bunch of 3rd graders. Knock off the ridiculous crap. Oh yeah – GREAT taste, putting the phrase, “P.S. Hopefully this post actually makes it to the forum.” When has any of your posts ever NOT made it to the forum ? I do not censor posts on here unless you are acting like a child, posting profanity every other word like former members.
I am done with this thread !
