I think you'll find that there was a bit more to it than that ... A patented device, patented at some expense by Karol, referred to on line in the same place as DS was offering designs for exactly the same thing but from reclaimed materials. I think all Karol was doing was protecting his intellectual property. Whether that is why Steve left the forum I can't say, it's a long time ago now. Funny that you should remember it.
OK. You need to look up patent law. Anybody can copy it. It’s selling which is prohibited.
I was so upset by this I actually looked up and read the patent. The patent only covers using two separate and separatable chambers. That’s all anyway. Nothing very special and the Dexter’s shed version did not breach patent anyway.
Patenting something shows Karol has commercial intent rather than the greater good of mankind that is peddled.
Sorry but you need the facts - quite simply you, and so many others, have been hood winked - difficult to accept but there you are.
I remember because I was so upset by it - but nobody seemed to be listening - rather a Karol love fest ensued which to me is simply unjust.
I have said this all before but like I said nobody seemed to care.
It appear you still don’t - I believe in calling people out when they engaged in nefarious activity. it appears to me you pick and choose to try and back up your stance.
Finally, his ‘scientific’ evidence is questionable at best. I offered to get my A level students to do an independent study for him - would have been fantastic project. Did he engage in that - no chance.
There you are that is really everything- keep digging if you like but with every post you make yourself look silly - in my opinion - but there you are carry on with your attempt to defend your ridiculous stance if you want - it’s a free country.
I do feel new member should get the facts about the whole sorry tale and they can draw their own conclusion
