Scott,
Actually I gave snpssaini the benefit of the doubt that perhaps because of a cultural difference or something lost in the translation of 'gift' there might be a misunderstanding. There was nothing ad hominem in it.
The analogy is rather clear although I might have chosen another one. Here's a good one and an actual case. My neighbor 'borrowed' some of my barbeque supplies off my porch without asking. He insisted he 'borrowed' it when I confronted him with the matter. The real snag in his reasoning is that if he 'borrows' my things without my knowledge or permission he's stealing it. In snpssaini's case he's said:
I make a perpetual motion machine. like b w. It is a very simple mechanism. It is on paper since 1998 . My first prototype is not working because of small error. Now I am trying to make its final working model .
and began this thread in part with this quote:
Usually when someone on this forum makes an assertion like that in red they have a little time to either come clean with proof or retract the admission. If they don't they end up with a worse reputation than Robert.
This, Scott, is an attempt to make me the point as opposed to my actual point with ad hominem.
If you are a misogynistic racist, that is your own business. Please keep it out of this forum.
Let me restate the point. Snpssaini clearly stated that he has a working model. I think that's a lie and that would make him a liar if that's the case. Ken made the point:
Your website states that your invention is a "gift" to the world from an Indian inventor.
but on this thread
I don't want any kind of financial help from anybody in making my prototype. But I expect that other members will suggest me that how I go for patent initially.
Next month I will arrange a good amount for this purpose. ( I am selling my property)
If anyone make me some good suggestions for this I will pay him after I go for patent.
A real question is why would you want ownership of a gift. The idea that this is a gift is not the case either. I honestly think that snpssaini's inability to understand what a
working model or
gift is beyond an inability to properly translate the words. I have also known several educated indians (hindu's) so I don't think this inability to communicate is cultural. None the less I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Also in this thread snpssaini made the point of being a repeat offender.
Last year there was no discusion on my drawings. People just saw the drawings and ignored them.
My real question is how can someone like snpssaini have a reputation better than Robert's? Sort of devalues the entire idea; gives it the sort of meaning snpssaini has for
gift or
working model. Meaningless tripe.
