I note that Matt from Australia (Kunama) has started a new thread on Istars on CN.

See if we can get a word in on that thread. If everyone with an ISTAR chimes in on that thread we will finally get real information out on CN. I really hope it sticks around for a while.

I agree Joe. I'm really sick of it. I am to a point I don't even want to look at CN anymore. I'm losing sleep over it. Ales can't let it go either. If I stay away from CN, then he'll bring it up. My mind as been consumed with it for the last couple of days. I found it hard to concentrate this evening for thinking about it. I have let this jerk disrupt my life for the last time. I wrote two respectful messages to the moderators on CN. I have yet to hear from either one. I don't know if they just don't care or if they are afraid of him.
Thanks for great post Neil. The praise for Istar from such a respected refractor affectionado is highly appreciated.
Have you guys read this man's book on refractors? It's available on Amazon. It's a good read and a good reference book to have around. Barnett's probably using it to compose all his high tech answers. No fault of yours Neil.

Mike,
Tell me if someone has posted that new thread on CN "my new Istar scope" or similar title.
I have many good things to say about my new Asteria TCR 150 R35 that you shipped to me to me after SCAE.

Don't let him get to you, know he is small, hates life, and what consumes him is making himself feel superior. Remain confident that what you both are doing is not going unnoticed. Suggest maybe contacting the relevant astronomy magazines and ask them to think about an article about how CN is being used by a few to spew propaganda...the evidence is all there. Seriously, sleep tight knowing he is nothing and desperately seeks acknowledgement and life validation via posting on CN..what kind of life is that? He posts on CN, you guys are producing telescopes, he hates istar simply for that reason.

I guess the mods over there are really assholes too. When's the last time you saw a mod step in and post that regardless of the OP's wishes, that negative remarks are acceptable in the thread...... And they got the gall to call themselves amateur astronomers. What did you do Mike, refuse to sell through Astronomics or something?

You want pics of the scopes on a mount, or astro images, or both?
I have a bunch of both.

What a bunch of ass hats.

I see that jbarnett has started a new thread about Celestron refractors. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
I have found a very effective solution to his annoying posts .. apparently CN has an "Ignore this user" button It works marvelously well!
I have also just edited my earlier post here and have removed my previous objection to 'mullet's description of the man.
What a small mind he must have!

I have been banned about 4-times now, I think this last one will be permanent, and all I did was to PM the KWB twit like you, my PM to him is posted above.
If this is your first, it's like a week at the most.

If this is your first, it's like a week at the most. I've been banned 3 times. They are roughly 3 days but that is highly discretionary I'm sure. Hell one time I didn't get back in for over a week. The moderater sent me an email saying that I just slipped his mind when he left on vacation. Well at least he appologized. I acknowledge their decision with a PM stating that I get carried away but do not mean to be an SOB on purpose....which is true. I believe they like you to crawl if that's the appropiate term. They want you to acknowledge that they hold the upper hand. I've never come across as a smart ass with "rights". Mike

Officially this is my first offense. I did get banned a little over two years ago when they discovered an old account I used to have before Istar. I didn't even use it anymore. After several messages to the adm and a few weeks and they let me back on. I really don't know why I was banned this time. The messages were very respectful. Not that I didn't want to speak my mind like you did Kevin. But as a manufacturer I have to walk a very fine line over there. Well I wrote to the adm again this morning. I probably won't get a response though. I should look at it as a week vacation, right? BTW Kevin, I love your avatar.
