We’ll let Juli’s words, and ours, speak for themselves.

okay, here's Juli's official reply to a question from one of your customers:

I know that WayTools has been sending out test units to people on their forums, but other than that, I haven't heard that they're any closer to a shipping date. I think what happened with the TextBlade is regrettable -- I saw a working test unit in 2015, but here, three years later, the product hasn't shipped. 

We cut ties with them completely in early 2016 and we won't be covering the TextBlade again in the future. I highly recommend getting a refund from WayTools if you pre-ordered a TextBlade unless you don't mind waiting indefinitely.

She says: "what happened with the TextBlade is regrettable" -- no mention of her safety, or that the reaction in the comments was regrettable. It was the TEXTBLADE, and that even three years later (well, four now and counting), "the product hasn't shipped."

She also says they cut ties with you completely. Not temporarily until you ship, but completely. They will not write about your product ever, even after it ships. If you want me to spell it out, that means they're disgusted with the company, more than the product, though what happened with it was "regrettable". Why would they go so far as to recommend getting a refund?

You keep deferring to the evidence as if it will save you. Clearly, it doesn't. Meaning you don't even read the evidence you're referring to.

WayTools_support is a pseudonym, but not quite like the others because regardless of which particular person from WT is posting, you still know it is coming from WT. Which makes it less anonymous that the others. However, as in the case of the "opinion" issue, I've pointed out the problem with this being an important matter.

There you go again Kahuna, mixing and matching definition of words. Don't try to redefine words to your convenience.

Well, that would be up to the people he unblocked. At my recommendation, btw.

Why do you guys engage in such childish behavior? If you want to block what you don't want to hear, why are you here? Why don't you just stay on WT forums where Waytools does that for you? It seems like you guys want to shadow ban people, and whining when you can't.

Hey Liar,

< Lies, Lies, BS and spin about the Macrumors article and author Juli Clover >

Isn’t that the surest way to prove one’s journalistic integrity?  Wouldn’t that summarily refute anyone who accuses a reporter of puffery?

Yet, they did not report that.  Because there was no deception.  There were definitely delays to perfect this new technology, and both reporters reported on them.  Just as there were delays with Apple’s AirPower, and both publications reported on those too.  

That's not how journalism works, at least not in America. Maybe that's how it works from whatever banana republic you come from. Do you think Woodward and Bernstein would stop covering Nixon if someone in the audience complained? No. They would have only stopped if deep throat turned out to be a liar.

She makes it clear that she didn't know all the underhanded goings-on at your company nor when you'll deliver (as you had repeatedly told her). That would hurt anyone's credibility. That's why did they not only end coverage, they cut ties with you all together. Your reckless postings here shows you don't give two bits about integrity, but apparently it mattered to MacRumors -- and that's why they completely cut ties with you.

You even worried for the "author's safety" -- yet you said not a peep or flag the messages. On the other hand, you were okay with Kahuna plastering their comments on a daily, almost hourly basis even when the moderator warned him several times, until he was banned.

You thought you could manipulate the MacRumors coverage with lying. It turned into a fiasco, because you lied. Now you want to spin it to your advantage with even more lies. When will you ever stop lying? If you simply don't know what went on over there, why don't you just ask Kahuna? At least he was there.

Dude, chill out. Like the forum admin said a while back (not to you though), let's dial it back a bit.

Knock yourself out. I'm not going to be lowering your posting privileges or shadow banning you.

You know, like people who make an issue of "fora" vs "forums" for no good reason.

I'll say this only once, so please listen carefully.

I've discussed and asked about a dozen things on that post, and this is the only thing you (and Waytools) are fixated on, meaning neither of you can fault the rest of it, or even address it properly. It also says a lot about your reading comprehension, since you cannot make it past that tree for the forest.

Even then (I repeat, even then), I reply by saying that it was not with malice or deviousness, and even kindly offered the Oxford dictionary's definition of it. Yet you reject both, and your willful continued use of the wrong word is just pure petulance, which is an annoying trait in some adolescents, but could be an indicator of psychological problems in adults, especially when you see "attacks" where there's none. Even in benign act of courtesy (in this case) you interpret as "attacks". It's very much like the Waytools person seeing alter-egos and pseudonyms where there's none. Everything and everyone is out to get you.

Here's the quote of what I said in full that you seem fixated on (just to be clear on the matter). I said:

 I think the vast majority of users on your forum know how forums in general (not fora, by the way) operate

How in the world do you (or anyone at all) construe this as being a side-swipe, snide remark or with malicious intent? Are you so perfect that you were never corrected? I have been correct many times (often times by people with whom I'm disagreeing), and most of the times, I actually thank them for it. 

Honestly, I lack the tact for making snide remarks, sly insinuations, or other roundabout rhetoric. Go ahead, read my posts. When I say negative things, I preface it first accordingly. There's no hidden meaning in my words. I offered correction because I felt some people may find 'fora' off-putting. I certainly was, until I harkened back to my high-school Latin class, which I hated by the way. And here I was thinking I kind enough to save Waytools from looking even more ridiculous.

The similar way both you and Waytools responded to that obscure statement -- insisting that it must have some ill intent -- and your continued usage of the word -- even though proven wrong by the Oxford dictionary -- are two of the reasons why people think either you work for Waytools or is the Waytools PR person himself. It's eerily similar.

If, after all the effort I put in asking for explanations, that is the only thing you care to nit-pick, I'd suggest you give your keyboard (or your Textblade) a rest and take up knitting or something, rather than trolling the comments.
