Don’t mind Sharpie Tom Tom. He just really likes to complain and argue. Even got banned for it, but he eventually made a new account. He has been stirring up trouble on BLF for three years now, since around the end of 2015.
If I understand correctly, he’s part of the reason why the “Report” button was added. (originally called the “Rude!” button)
As our admin wrote and reiterated …
sb56637:
Please also remember that one of the valid reasons to use the Rude! button is when a user is being conflictive. This includes starting, engaging in, or otherwise responding to arguments. The best way to stop an argument or make somebody stop trolling is by completely ignoring the post(s) and using the Rude! button when warranted. Also, please do not quote other users’ rude posts, since doing so only gives additional publicity to their rudeness.
…
Also please absolutely avoid fighting. If you and/or somebody else starts getting hot under the collar, please drop the subject completely. The Report button should be used when somebody starts or participates in an argument, even if there is no profanity or direct insults. Very few users are determined enough to simply shout off into an echo chamber, and in almost all cases a fight will die out immediately if everyone ignores it completely. Also, please do NOT quote other users’ rude posts, and don’t try to moderate the situation. That’s my job, and I do it with the help of your Report button clicks.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion, TK.
I enjoy listening to opposing viewpoints at times, and I appreciate knowledge and perspectives that I don’t have, but wow, talk about glass half empty…

I did not know about Sharpie & TomTom, ToyKeeper.
Now things make a lot more sense, as I remember Sharpie.

Count me in for 1. Hoping for the LH351D version to have news come out but otherwise I’ll take whatever will actually, really exist.
Some news, for those wanting schedule info:
So… that’s the soonest anything could happen.
The supplier has been unable to get LH351D yet, so the first run is almost certainly going to be XP-L HI 3D only. After that, I’m not sure if it’ll be SST-20, LH351D, or other XP-L HI tints.

Awesome news TK! Hopefully this means the light will go into production in April, and we’ll all have this in our hands by the end of May.

My apologies to the Forum for my recent posts here. I was out of order. I can’t make any excuses, except that it has been a very bad few weeks for me.
I have attempted to delete them, but the forum has been playing up with database errors. When it settles, I will do so.
Hoping that this new post gets through.
Once again, my apologies to all.

Let’s just move forward, anticipating the release of this new light. It has been a long time, and it looks light it may finally be happening, and sooner than later.
I hope whatever has been bad in the past few weeks for you gets better. Bad times come, and they go too.
