content: That's a strange way to promote your channel. I'm not going to watch 20 minutes of rambling to see the offensive parts, but if you think so, why not delete the videos?

content: Hi Wilfred well you got yourself quite worked up there haven’t you. Nothing like a bit of pointless outrage to get the blood flowing is there. From the time it’s taken you to post, it’s clear you didn’t actually bother to watch the video. Well more power to your elbow. Have a great day and thanks for not watching.Maybe you will enjoy not watching this one even morehttps://youtu.be/ljeClaKpJLk

content: Yes, but you are also using very clumsy click bait, and that's far from the purpose of this section.

content: Quote from: Ian.M on February 28, 2018, 09:42:57 amThere’s really no answer to that, when anything I say or respond to however personally insulting to me carries the potential for being accused of trolling. Generally if I don’t like a post I just do not comment I don’t start whining about it. But I guess everyone different. Thank god. Your comments are noted let’s leave it there and the mods can make their own decisions.

content: IMHO linking one's own videos here with a 'clickbait' topic title and no summary for any of them is trolling and excessively spammy. I wouldn't have commented (other than on the actual video content) if you had a topic where you shared relevant videos from your channel with us, with summaries. Personally, I would request that you don't start multiple topics to post your own video links as a single topic is much easier to ignore for those who don't want to see them. Of course if you've got something relevant to someone else's topic, *PLEASE* don't hesitate to contribute. Also, an occasional 'refresh' with a new topic when your existing video topic gets to an unwieldy length wouldn't be out of order.However those are my personal opinions and I am *NOT* an EEVblog moderator. Dave & Simons' opinions are bound to differ and theirs are the ones that count. If I was in your position I would PM Dave for clarification . . . .I apologise for posting the '@moderators' line - that was uncalled for on my part and could potentially stifle public debate that may yet show my opinion is in the minority.Edited to clarify my opinions on acceptable self-promotion. IMHO Extra latitude should be given in the 'Other Blog Specific' subforum as its explicit purpose is: "Got your own blog?, or want to post someone else's blog and talk about it? You can do that here."

content: Hi George. I thought I explained knots are fine just not really tight onesand Avoid right angles in PCB tracking so the electrons don’t have to slow down to get around the bend. I knew there was a sense of humour on here somewhere if we just looked hard enough!Many ThanksRegards Chris

"The second reason is that I got really drunk, yeah, and, well what'd you say, I got really drunk and... ebay. In my drunken stupor I did actually have a little bit of a plan" lol, I like your sense of humor(the dangers of 1-click buy).Quote from: ataradov on February 28, 2018, 08:33:50 amIDK why are you being so unfriendly?

content: Quote from: GeorgeOfTheJungle on February 28, 2018, 03:10:02 pmBecause normally I would go past a topic like this, but you decided yo use click bait title, which is irritating and stupid. If you want subscribers by any means - go pay the army of bots, they will give you subscribers.
