TextBladeDenied

BTW - Tesla did in fact get a court-ordered injunction against the dude in the Bay Area.  He was stalking them, on land and online.  Paid by short selling of Tesla stock.
The judge ruled that he’s not permitted within 100 yards of any Tesla facilities.
But what the heck, TextBladeDenier will say it was all just ... in Elon Musk’s paranoid imagination.
The judge didn’t think so.

Reminder: You are not Tesla. You are not Elon Musk

Each time TextBladeDenier’s posts make more obvious the gig he’s working, and we point it out, there’s an even more shrill repetition of narrative to deny it.

When his game is outed, he gets more uppity.

Once again, Mark's choice to resort to this style of ridiculous attack says all anyone needs to know about the character and mindset of the individual.

And the use of the word 'uppity' is quite peculiar and offensive here, given the racial connotation.

Apparently I am pressing some interesting buttons on the malformed personality of this individual.

These serial hit-posts are just part of his job. Oppo-PR must belittle and denigrate the work as part of the fud campaign.

Just curious - does anybody have any idea or theory as to what 'Oppo-PR' campaign this lunatic might be referring to? Is there any known individual, or group, or company, that is actually producing a similar competing product and is known to have spoken negatively about the Textblade in the context of a competitor, and thus planted these seeds of paranoia in Mark Knighton's delusional mind? I am aware of none.

I think that sentence speaks volumes. Mark Knighton is so messed up in the head, he can only conclude that the pissed off customers he has lied to and refused to ship a product to for 4+ years are part of an opposition campaign. Its totally whacky. Bizarre. Ridiculous. Stupid.

Most important of all - the falsity of the accusation is totally transparent to everyone reading this. And Mark Knighton sincerely does not seem to realize that. I nor anyone I am aware of have ever been opposed to Waytools success. After all, I gave them my money, and trusted their lies for 4+ years. Now, however, I am opposed to them lying to and taking advantage of any more people.

This thread has been very productive overall in revealing the true character of this man.



Two pallets of aging Textblades with expired batteries.  Millions of dollars collected from 100,000+ customers? $95,419.84 in revenue per prototype test units (131) supplied? 4+ years. No final product shipped. No keys for kids. Who has the money? Mark Knighton has the money.

AdamRoxby - Will 2019 finally be when we see the Textblade after all these years?
WayTools - Yes.

Waiting - This post by WT seems very different to me.
WayTools - It is.

The answers above: 'Yes. It is.'   Quite definitive by any common or reasonable understanding of plain spoken English language.

Now, days later:

WayTools_Support said:

...we’ll switch over from estimates to more concrete dates once units begin going out in high volume, but the confidence is definitely going up that 2019 is viable because of the results we already have in hand right now.

Another 'estimate'. "Confidence is going up that 2019 is viable."

That is an unambiguous walk back from "Yes. It is."  So the latter now stands. They are not definitively promising 2019 as the release date. 

I told you so people!

Mark my words. Bookmark this page. There will be no Textblade in 2019. There will be no Textblade in 2020. They. Are. Liars. Do not give them your money.

Regarding shipments already made, those TextBlades are production units from high volume tools.  This is obvious to the customers using them.

You are lying. There is much nuance in this which you refuse to reveal. Kahunas list indicates there are treg testers with non-final hardware. There is the question of date of manufacture, hardware revision version, etc. You have pre-production units produced in small quantity. 131 according to Kahuna, your CPO (Chief Propagandist Officer).

WayTools_Support said:

Using the term ‘prototype’ is contrived to be pejorative, and is at odds with the widely reported reality.

Its only pejorative if you say so. I use the term to describe reality as it is. You have not mass produced this product. Some machinery sitting idle somewhere for the last (who knows how many months or years) waiting to be spun up is beside the point. All you have right now is an extremely small number of prototypes.

WayTools_Support said:

Those familiar with the cost of high volume tools, and extensive software development, know the costs invested are many tens of millions of dollars.
The repetitious harping on a 1 million dollar figure is observably ludicrous.  It’s knowably impossible to do this kind of program scope on that budget.

I use the terms '10,000 customers' and  '$1,000,000 in sales' to limit myself to the lowest known numbers, based on language spoken by you and Kahuna, so I would not be accused of exaggerating.

If you have 100,000 customers who spent $125 each on average, then gross revenue is $12,500,00, which means the per unit cost of every known TREG unit (131 of them) shipped to a paying customer is 131/125e5 = $95,419.84. I thought this seemed more pejorative than the examples I used, so I avoided it.

So is it true Mark? Have you pocketed an average of $95,419.84 for every unfinished prototype Textblade shipped to a customer over the last 4+ years?

Why don't you join the world of ethical business and start being open and honest about the details and extent of your debacle?

List the following:

• total orders
• average revenue per order
• total customers refunded
• total Textblades manufactured, classified by hardware revision
• dates of batch (presumably) manufacture of all existing units
• date of manufacture of existing units batteries
• battery manufacturer expiration date of batteries

Shock the world Mark Knighton. Produce some tangible, credible, factual information which demonstrates that any claim you make can be trusted or relied upon.

I am one of your customers you disgusting paranoid liar. How dare you fabricate such nonsense about people who paid you in good faith. I gave you my money over 4 years ago. I do not reveal my order numbers because your modus operandi is to force refund any customer who criticizes your behavior. My only modus operandi as a customer is to hold you to the original terms, and to maintain a a claim against you, because you are a liar and you have really pissed me off (I do not believe I have been vague about that fact).

Kahuna has now written a solid page worth of material intended to obfuscate the meaning of 'Yes' in response to the direct question, 'Will you ship in 2019?'   

The Kahuna character is the voice of reason (can you imagine?) who steps in to make excuses when the Waytools_Support character (Mark Knighton) is unable to refrain from opening its big mouth and making promises it knows it cannot and will not keep.

Kahuna never touches the obvious point - that Mark Knighton certainly knows of some reasons, at the moment he answered that question, why the device may not or could not be released in 2019, but rather than be honest and qualify his answer appropriately, particularly after 4+ years of prior failed 'estimates' (a word I use only for the sake of argument), Mark chooses to once again lie by omission and answer unequivocally: 'Yes'. 

Mark Knighton is a liar. This behavior is gaslighting 101. Look your victim in their lying eyes and tell them they do not see what they see, they do not hear what they hear.

There will be no Textblade. Not in 2019. Not in 2020. At best, Mark Knighton will soon be forced to refund everyone and likely bankrupt his little keyboard company that managed to burn well over $1,000,000 to produce about 131 prototypes, and that will be the end of it all.

Referring to it as the absolute authority implicitly strips off the important qualifiers.

is not really fair. Particularly given that you then give as your own defence 

The short initial statement we made was simplified to go straight to the substance, without burdening it with all the of science drill-down.

and therefore you expect a greater latitude than you are prepared to allow me.

Well done poisednoise. An excellent illustration of the sort of tactical manipulation of the truth that Waytools_support (Mark Knighton) excels at.
