TextBladeDenied

Only 6 hours until Mark will be a full week over his update deadline. It really is bizarre to think that there are people still funding this man.

Well, if a scam is marketed properly at the outset, quite a bit of money can be collected. Then its just a matter of managing expenses. If Mark Knighton already had a bit of money from prior ventures, and then sold 10,000+ Textblades back in 2015 at an average of $150 per order including accessories, and he has only built around 150 prototypes, that's $10,000.00 in gross revenue per Textblade manufactured.

That's not a huge fortune by any measure, but if he isn't living too high off the hog, that money could last a while, though one would think we must be approaching the end of it all.

Which would explain the renewed marketing push. Appleinsider press coverage may have generated additional sales revenue from new unsuspecting victims.

Hence this thread.

I wonder about those 'two pallets' of Textblades the AI author saw. How long have they been sitting there? What version of hardware, if any, is inside the boxes? How old are the batteries?

When is someone on the inside going to have the guts to apply some real pressure to Mark Knighton?

Somebody really needs to leak what the 'free gift' is. Then people with existing early orders will be better informed as to whether or not the wait has been even remotely worth it. Keeping that secret at this point has become just another way of enabling Mark Knighton's unethical and pathologically delinquent behavior.

1. Never said it was okay. I simply pointed out that new tech can have lots of unexpected problems and that the variables are far bigger than you seem to realize.

When it comes to truth, you are cut from the same cloth as Mark. If the above statement is true, then why the propaganda post on the WT forum "Are the delays understandable?"

>Are the delays understandable?
>I've said many times that I - and many other Treg testers - have found through their experience and
>discussions with Mark (and each other) that the long delay in shipping is understandable. 

Sounds exactly like you're arguing that it's okay.


Really the best thing we can do here is collectively agree to put Kahuna on ignore, or beg the AI mods to ban him. This thread would be a lot quieter and more focused if Kahuna was forced to move his daily diatribes back to the WT forum where he belongs. Over there, he can mentally spoon with Colin and Verxion, and they can compare Mark to Da Vinci and make him feel warm and fuzzy about announcing an update and delaying it and announcing it again and delaying it and announcing it again and delaying it and announcing it again and delaying it and announcing it again and delaying it and announcing it again and delaying it and...

We are here to discuss the Textblade, and to engage the only known public facing employee involved in this scam. Mark Knighton.

Kahuna is a diabolical troll and a waste of time.

Already know the only thing you can do - complain that I didn't specifically say "Mark Knighton". That's your problem. The criticism remains.

BTW, you are still inserting me into every issue. Just as Smurf is. Which is fine. You get to post whatever crap you want. But when you also claim I'm inserting myself into things, then you are just not being honest. I remind you that very recently I documented you making a response to a post - a post which had NOTHING to do with me - yet you made 5 attacks on me anyway. I think you want me to be the issue. At least based on what you actually do, as opposed to what you claim.

Obfuscation. You point out one post which had nothing overt to say about you, but ask us to ignore the 500 other posts where you made it all about you? No. It doesn't work like that. 

You still haven't answered the question, Seeker of Truth. Go back and read what I wrote again. Learn to read. Study what people say to you and try to understand it before you respond with such stupidity.

Why didn't you specifically say 'Mark Knighton is blind'? Are you accusing someone else at Waytools of being blind? Are 'the twins' the blind people you refer to, or Mark Knighton?

Is it because you are scared that if you directly criticize him and his lies and stupidity and delinquency by saying his name, he might brick your keyboard? Or is Mark your boss? Does Mark pay your bills?

You make you the issue, every time you insert yourself into the conversation about Mark Knighton where you have no place in the conversation at all. Don't complain about people talking about you. You love it when people talk about you, and talk negatively about you. You seek it out. If you didn't like it, then you would avoid it and spend all your time hiding in the safe space of the WT forum where every critic is banned and there is only Colin and Kahuna kissing each other. (Mozart, Bach, Da Vinci). You come here, and to Reddit, and Macrumors, and you fight with everybody over Mark Knighton, so don't make everyone laugh by whining when the conversation shifts to your bad behavior.

Aligning yourself with a sociopathic liar is not good karma for you Kahuna. I really don't know why you do it. It appears as though you have a financial interest in helping Mark to perpetuate his scam. When the lawsuits and subpoenas for documents and depositions start arriving on doorsteps, you might find yourself on the receiving end as a reward for all your efforts.

Look where we are now. One entire week past the May deadline, and not a peep from that scumbag. How much longer do you want to defend such a lowlife?

>No, they simply missed the day, period. While I think it is fair to extend “Saturday night” to include the early hours of Sunday morning- because I know Mark works very late at least sometimes and that goes to 3:00 AM from my own experience, it does not extend into another working day. So they missed it. 

Be brave Kahuna. Rewrite the above sentence the way it should have been written:

While I think it is fair to extend “Saturday night” to include the early hours of Sunday morning- because I know Mark works very late at least sometimes and that goes to 3:00 AM from my own experience, it does not extend into another working day.

Don't play duck and dodge games and say you don't care. You've been at this for about 4 years now. You know Mark Knighton personally. You have deeply involved yourself in this game of enabling his sociopathic gaslighting deceptive behavior and deflecting criticism away from him. You don't get to label yourself as a truth seeker when your own words clearly demonstrate your willingness to obfuscate the truth.

You are either a legitimate critic of Mark Knighton and you have the guts to criticize him by name - or you just another lying shill participating in Mark Knighton's deception.

Which is it?

It is just about one week since Mark Knighton missed the deadline for the promised May 2019 update.

See how he does? Miss miss miss. Fail fail fail. And then just ignore it all, as if the promise was never made, the deadline was never missed. What happened to that urgency from Friday May 31st, to Saturday June 1st, when Mark jumped in and promised he was just a little late and it was coming after 9pm PST? And then again, on 'quiet Sunday'? Nothing happened. Just lies to make people wait and eventually give up and go away, so Mark can keep the money.

Gaslighting 101.

And all the while, Kahuna is standing straight and at attention, ready to soldier on, on behalf of Mark Knighton.

But moving on:
@dabigkahuna, a bone for you:

As for it being 100% under their control
there simply must be stuff they can talk about!
I do think they are rather blind to it though.

Here's another bone for you Kahuna. This is a sincere question. Lets see if you'll respond in kind:

Why do you use the terms 'they' and 'their' when discussing what is going on here with Waytools?

Have you spoken to any individual at Waytools other than Mark Knighton who gave you the impression the he/she is/was a decision maker or product manager or any other category of employee whom you perceived to be responsible for anything that is happening at Waytools?

Is there anyone besides Mark Knighton to whom you could attribute responsibility for the delay in the updates, based on your interactions with 'them'? Or, asked another way, is there anyone besides Mark Knighton whom you believe is writing these updates and responsible for the delays in getting them done?

Wouldn't you agree that you, to some degree, are playing along with and contributing to the overall air of deception here, when you refer to 'them' and 'they' and 'their', as if there is a real company staffed with multiple decision makers who are all contributing factors in these delays, when in fact the only person we are aware of who makes any substantive decisions regarding how things move forward (or stand still) is Mark Knighton?

How many other employees can we prove exist at Waytools? I recall posts referring to a lady (I forget her name right now) who makes occasional phone calls inviting people to Treg. No indication she is a decision maker at the company. Then there is the infamous posts of a couple of 'twins' inspecting keyboards back in 2015. Whoever they were! But no indication they were anything other than labor, and I don't recall a photo or any mention of them since.

I'm nitpicking on this because, just like when Mark Knighton says 'we have been shipping to customers' to give the deceptive impression to the public that the company has been delivering a finished product to customers - there is this other regularly occurring  deception, which Mark does all the time, right here on this thread and everywhere else, referring to himself in the 3rd person as if the poster was a social media employee or customer service rep, but we all know it's just Mark Knighton. You seem to want to mimic or contribute to that deceptive behavior, referring to 'they' and 'their' when in reality all we are talking about here is one individual: Mark Knighton.

To rephrase your 'they's and 'their's:

As for it being 100% under Mark Knighton's control
there simply must be stuff Mark Knighton can talk about!
I do think Mark Knighton is rather blind to it though.

I don't think this is an unimportant point. The 'they' and 'their' crap, in my view, is a means of deflecting the attribution of responsibility away from the one person we all understand to be the only person responsible for what is going on here, Mark Knighton, and that makes it a deception, a lie.

You claim to always be seeking the truth, so lets stick to the truth here and wipe away any obfuscation about what we're dealing with and whom we're dealing with.
