Since I was personally involved in the dispute with MiTo, I thought it appropriate to write a small statement from my perspective, as well. Being that CARPE KEYBOARDS does not have a dedicated Artisan Services subforum here, BunnyLake was kind enough to allow me to post this here in his area.
I had been following the
Fake BroCaps Discussion about the troll K3kc's plan to copy and sell counterfeit Bro Caps. I noticed that MiTo had posted there, stating that he
"support this dude K3", and "if you want to boycott Cospar, go ahead."
I replied in that thread, and copied my reply to the
Cospar IC thread that "everyone should join with me in boycotting this group buy." He later posted a
challenge to the boycott. The thread derailed from there, with others joining the boycott, and MiTo calling us "flamers" and telling us to get out of the thread, even though he had instigated it with his previous posts.
Now, my first ever interaction with MiTo was during the
PuLSE GB interest check. That thread had already been derailed by MiTo himself, when he didn't understand about the Cherry Replica legends, and who owns them. BunnyLake had attempted to set him straight about those legends, which he took as a personal attack for some reason, and began his vendetta against BunnyLake. He then decided to switch the profile to SA, while admittedly knowing nothing about the profiles or sculpt of SP's sets. I (along with others) had to educate him about the subject, and I basically had to (figuratively) beat him over the head with the information in order to make him understand and to get a good end product (with a couple minor exceptions) for the group buy. Which is why I find it amusing that he now apparently thinks that people will buy his designs, regardless of a boycott on him. He believes that the things he says and does will be overlooked by the community.
MiTo has posted screenshots of comments on reddit that nubbinator made, because MiTo also believes that nubbinator has personally attacked him. So, since he is allowed to post those comments, I will post the comments MiTo (Lyqu1d @ reddit) posted regarding the events of late here at GH.
You can find all his comments here:
http://www.reddit.com/user/Lyqu1dWhile I regret that some of my statements were reactionary, posted in the heat of the moment, and could possibly be seen as being a bit childish, I stand behind the meaning of my statements in those threads. I would again call for others to boycott any and all designs and products produced or sponsored by MiTo, until such time as he changes his attitude toward, and behavior on, this fourm.
Thanks for reading,
