kaichu ............ if you say so .
You are the one who came here and marginalize the positions we had going in the pool party.
We were mostly in agreement till you came here and marginalize any position opposite YOUR own. We were in the majority . We were in support of the title and the OP's observation.
Well you'll find yourself constantly frustrated if you think that majority opinion is always right, but if that's the way you want to go, get a Maglite and sell off all your other stuff. Pure majority bliss therein.
Additionally, it's your posts that have attempted to single-handedly suggest that I should be marginalized since I don't fit with your supposed majority. Funny how the OP is more open to answering my posts in a normal conversive manner than you are.
I see where you're at. A member had mentioned how the LiteFlux lights did a 'tighten to turn off'. This was not my original post however. I didn't care if a light tightened or loosened to activate. I just thought that a light should always activate, or turn on, when turned right.
My argument was that our instincts as humans, in this westernized capitalistic world we live in, is that when we want to accomplish a task by twisting we twist right. That is all.
I understand that perspective, but just which action should happen when turned to the right, and is it viewed from front/back/top or bottom?
It also seems reasonable to me that the storage position is achieved through rotation to the right, but further complicated when viewed as a two handed motion which can see the battery tube being turned by the right handed person, using their right hand to turn the battery tube to the right to turn off the light, or using their support hand, which is the left, to turn the tube to left to actuate the light, or to the right if faced up at a 45 degree angle to turn right to actuate.
I don't find a problem with the position that you present, in hopes of having actuation work in reverse of how it does, but moreso with the assumptions going along with the hypothesis suggesting that users will all work and view the mechanical actuation from the same perspective.
I don't agree that the thread is Stooooooopid .
I think the OP brought up a valid topic for discussion .
I don't think the thread is stupid either but your manner of reply definitely suggests that anyone disagreeing with your view has an invalid perspective, which further suggests that you don't really think it's so much a valid topic for discussion as a forgone conclusion and those who disagree need not attend.
Can someone who has more than 2000 posts tell me if its a "Twisty" or a "Twistie". Please don't attack my nerdery but for grammatical sake, but from a little research in the English language it should be ...
Twisty
Twisties
I think many of us have been through the same quandary, particularly with the existence of the Ra Twisty in our midst.
I refer to the Ra Twisty/Twisty's or rotationally controlled lights as twisty or twisties. In any case, we need not break each other down over how the words are used so long as we understand what the intention was.
At least, that's how I see it.
Hey ... OP .... don't go off topic !:sick2:
It don't matter how it's spelled .
As the OP, he didn't go off topic, since it's always been particularly allowable for the OP to refine or bring in additional topic matter to threads they've started in the first place.
