Ellis,
Yes, it's clear that the guy's got an axe to grind. I know that if one of my employee's did something like this, I would throw legal resources at them to have the website taken down. But Paul has rushed a few products to market without fully testing them. One instance was the ringlight, which had some kind of faulty part that had to be replaced. Nothing too major as I recall. Another appears to be issues with the diffusion cover on the PLM, and I get the idea from a recent email that he's giving the PLM itself a bit of makeover in terms of build.
What you get for the price of his gear is a sacrifice in build quality, otherwise his products would cost much more. I have owned his gear and bought them not for rugged construction, but convenience. The AB's are made of a plastic housing, but it keeps them light weight and their small footprint and fast recycle were very attractive to me at the time.
One light started smoking the first time I turned it on and was replaced without question, but generally, my experience with them was a pleasant one, though there were a few features that really bugged. But the thing is, when you make things on the cheap, there are often reliability issues, which is why the former employee's claims ring true. But it is what it is. You get what you pay for.
