I’d suggest a) cooling down, and b) looking up the dictionary definition of “lie”. A lie requires an intention to deceive. Unless you are absolutely sure that is the case, and can show it to be so, it’s an extremely unwise thing to say. People can say the most preposterous, offensive or mistaken things but it does not follow that they are lying. Most posts on here are conjecture, nothing more. Some may be ridiculous or mistaken but that doesn’t make them lies. Not seeing this is becoming part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

I’m suggesting reading and thinking about what someone wrote and avoiding emotive, confrontational words like “lies” when what is actually meant is “I think you are mistaken” or “I don’t agree”. It’s really very simple. The core of some (not all) of what the OP said is quite reasonable, if you think about it. Conjecture probably, just like most other posts here, but still reasonable. Some wasn’t, for sure, but that doesn’t invalidate all of it. Three new cameras coming up? Not bad at all.
The Pentax forum on DPreview has already been wrecked by aggressive, intolerant language. I’d rather it didn’t happen here. We may not agree but we can at least remain civil and avoid confrontational behaviour.

If you decode his statement it is actually not unreasonable at the core, viz.
In future, Ricoh will put more into FF than into APS-C
The old Hoya-era SDM DA star lenses will run down over the next few years
There will be three new cameras over the next 12-18 months (two K series, one 645)
Ricoh will do more coop development with third parties like Tamron
Ricoh manufacture a lot of stuff in the Philippines
Honestly, none of this is remarkable or surprising even if one doesn’ agree with it. Even if pure conjecture, it’s not a bad guess. Unfortunately the tone and some of the embedded claims (Ricoh’s relationship with Tamron, e.g.) left a bit to be desired. Three new cams between now and the end of next year, perhaps? That’s not bad at all.
