Listen, I get you guys' hatred for Martin and his company, but at least be consistent in your comments. It makes you look petty and lessens the impact of your position.
I don't agree with Martin's strategy of taking pre-orders of a product that wasn't close to ready for production. But I think that point has been beaten to death, and as far as we know, he's made full refunds. I also think being so transparent with his R&D has been a huge mistake, as it offers his detractors an open window to harm him. I think it's reasonable to expect technology such as this would take a couple years to develop. Had he just kept his yapper shut he'd have been fine.
However, these two mistakes, in my opinion, don't warrant the hatred here. If his product works, he's going to cause changes in the market, with lower prices and possibly better products. That's a good thing for us; it confuses me to see so many people trying to do everything they can to interefe with that.
