Quote from: Spitten and drummen on March 17, 2020, 10:35:33 PMSteve , I have 2 of your lanyard and am very pleased with them. It really gets me when some says you are copying someone elses products. No one has a patent on any knots and braids as far as I know. It gets me when people copy other folks calls. I get that and I think thats pretty sorry but a lanyard?? Come on man. That is crazy. You keep doing you and if someone is offended by you making them , tell them to go pound sand. I am sure at some point and time that someone made lanyards with the same braids and knots that you and everyone else tied. Keep making those nice lanyards. People are free to buy from someone else if they choose to. You are not putting a gun to no ones head. It just blows my mind about how some people whine about anything and everything. It has to be a miserable existence going through life like that. I will add that I also have 2 of Dels lanyards. They are just as nice and I like them too. Some folks like leather , some like paracord and some dont care either way. I buy what I feel like buying from whom I feel like buying from. Steve and Del both make nice lanyards and I will continue to use both. If someone else makes some and I like them , I will buy from them too. Now if I find out someone has taken a pot call apart and taken measurements off it and starts making a pot call , I would not buy a call from them if they were the last callmaker alive. This is my personal opinion on the matter.
Quote from: davisd9 on March 18, 2020, 07:26:24 AMThere are not many patents on pot calls either, that I know of, yet it is offensive if someone copies a pot but not a lanyard. Why is that? If a guy takes the time to build a product in his own way then why is one thing insignificant but the other is not? That does not make a lot of sense to me. Let's take a moment here and say that the knot was not copied, that was Del's original beef in the whole situation. Let's say for a moment he made his lanyard and then saw one of Del's and was like, "Dang, those knots looks alike and the lanyards look similar but I know mine is different so I will go with it." Then after Del saying he felt he was copied, whether he was or not, to come and put out another function of how one of Del's looks, the Buice double drop, just seems to be looking for an issue. I have been on this forum since 2011. Anyone can go back through my posts and see how much whining I have done. For such a miserable existence and whining I do, some have PMed me for my opinion/help on things such as TSS, reloading TSS, and trumpets. I am such a miserable and whiner that I have close relationships with multiple people from this forum in which we message every day and I talk to many of them more than anyone in the town I live in. You want to know how this whole little hissy fit of his started? I will tell you where it started. I got some lanyards from Del last week and made post of Facebook about it. I put in the post, "Maybe imitated, but never replicated; only the very best will do!" Guess what, Steve Bryan and his lanyards were the last thing on my mind when I made that post but guess who jumped to conclusions with his 7 buddies? Guess who also did not have the gal to contact me about the situation but rather made passive aggressive posts on Facebook and then brought it here where it had nothing to do with anything here on Old Gobbler. I came here to make the same exact post and saw his thread and then Steve Bryan and his lanyards came to my mind. I said, well I can see how that could cause a stir here and I do not want to cause a stir on this page so I did not add that to my post. Guess who came to Old Gobbler and made a stink about it anyway?I had to contact him to talk about the situation. He never once tried contacting me. There were several ways he could contact me, here, Facebook, heck if he does not erase texts he would have my number about a Buice call we discussed a while back. I do not take well to people jumping to conclusions about me or things I have said or to go on like rants in a passive aggressive manner. If you got issue with me, then take it out with me.Go through his thread and see where I ever said anything to him. Heck ask him to produce a PM or something I sent him on the situation. The only thing you will find is our Messenger conversation that started over his passive aggressive rants and these little threads he is making on here. Let me know if anyone want's to see any of the posts or messenger conversation I am speaking about as I will be glad to post it.Also, Del asked me last night to not say anything else over the situation, so I will respect those wishes. If anyone wants to talk with me about it then feel free to send a PM and I will be glad to talk anyway you would like to talk.Still unblasted!

There who's jumping to conclusions now. I said I had been catching slack from the beginning an tired of it. I think that's what I said. You said you wanted to to see drops an knots of other lanyards with the same things an I provided then yes? Steve Bryan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Quote from: eggshell on March 18, 2020, 07:42:56 AMHaven't we seen enough private quarrels in a public forum....really, we're arguing about lanyards when the world is in the middle of a medical/economic crisis! It's not even an essential piece of equipment in turkey hunting, things get copied in the business world all the time. It's actually a compliment if someone does, if your fear is someone getting market share from you then you have to amp up marketing or loose. Me personally, I'll cut a piece of string and tie a knot in it. I just don't see this as something to bring into our public forum community. Let's worry about staying healthy enough to enjoy our sport, at least for the next couple months.
Quote from: davisd9 on March 18, 2020, 11:43:04 AMHow about those not involved in the situation or understand what the issue really is, just stay out of it and let the thread die?
