TP here, Yes mods I know, I'm banned for something or other. I always respect them but i saw this and damn near shit out a small south american country over the last few pages.
The general feeling I get is that most posters here agree that my invention is an improvement over prior art. I certainly think so.
I love how you call your sci glass art. gives me a hell of a kick
You are really considering much less of the picture than it takes to have an objective disposition.
If one were to take your premise to the logical conclusion, you would never be able to leave walmart, unless they outsourced your minimum wage job to prison labor and threw you out of the store.
Do you work for a living? Would you like it if you got canned because some bottom feeder is willing to do your job for less, and you work for a bottom feeder who's happy to let you go to hire that lower priced bottom feeder?
I created living wage jobs for people on both coasts. You really want to see living wage jobs and credit due the inventor go away so you can buy something that's had every corner cut? You really want to make it not worth my time and expense to improve the state of an art you profess to care something about?
If so, my opinion is that you penny wise, pound foolish, and disinclined to afford the respect for innovation that makes innovation happen. I wish you luck with your myopia.
Living wage, quit it, you sound like nancy pelosi
NO. I will take action against anybody infringing my patent. Stop trying to get other glassblowers involved...and in trouble.
LOLOL I would pay good fucking money so see this taken up in front of a judge.
Shit I almost want to find someone to knock it off out of spite.
Cranky....ah, yes. Y'know... If I'd put as much effort into kicking the legs out from under your livelihood and saddling you with that pleasant warm glow that comes from hiring a lawyer to protect your interests as you have put into doing that to me, you might just be a little cranky if I came around asking for a favor that is against your standard operating procedures.
You have not scored any brownie points for your large quantity of ill informed posts/pushed buttons that were clearly not respectful of my intellectual property. That was really not a good strategy for having any special request taken seriously. Please make a note of that for future reference.
Good luck branching out with that piss poor attitude.

May be brutally honest, but like TP and his posts have stood, that made a lot of people uncomfortable... so should mine.
Homie I've spent more time being banned from here than posting here.
You know personally I don't think your bong is anything special. The fact that you like to throw using lawyers around makes me laugh and want to look for someone to rip it off.
Over the years I've dealt with a lot of glass blowers. I don't know how many of the posters here have but here is a little insite. For the most part they are shity ass people to work with ( except glasstafarian, dude is so damn professional). Don't get me wrong they make great awesome art but holly fuck. Nothing ever comes out as discussed. everything is way late. they tell you something is boxed up and ready to ship and the fucking prep work isn't even done. The comunication is terrible you'd think these guy take trips to the moon by the way they don't answer their email.
Also you guys know island time? the concept where you can't really expect stuff lickity split but you just have to roll with it ( go order a nice dinner in puerto rico) but glass blowers take this concept and max it the fuck out.
Now this site here. I have never seen a group of people work harder to try and promate an artist on here and help them out. NO other comunity would do that. The people on here rave about your work. Hell I kind even want to pm a couple people local and try theirs. But I can tell you this I'll never spend a god damn cent on your work.
To come on to what has to be one of the most polite forums on the web ( besides for me being here) and to have that stick up you ass attitude is insane.
Some guy wants a frit a/c and is asking you about a disk and you just blow him off, good job trying to expand your product line.
Your little rant on a living wage is cute, it's pretty much proven that minimum wages destroys jobs ( minimum wage was never meant to live on, just something to get started on).
Every lathe in portland eh? haven't seen any of your work at piece of mind shops?
Also you should be thanking US. WE work, pay taxes on our money, then blow it on fucking bongs. Shit that most no one needs. Yet people still spend tens of thousands of dollars to have cases full of headies yet you come off in the way you did.
You do know if your glass takes off like toro products did, there will be chinese knock offs made for DIRT cheap
