content: This is rather interesting.Well I never, what a surprise!Whaaaaat? Dave's an anti-masker?Probably not a single black or aboriginal member either, I should have checked sooner, it all makes sense now, no science here, no intelligent discourse, just intolerance and toxicity. Being insulted by some of the bozos here has actually made my day!Better lock this thread too, don't want the usual suspects getting all steamed up do we!

content: Quote from: Sherlock Holmes on February 17, 2023, 06:46:26 pmI have no idea how many black or aboriginal members are here because I don't care, a person's race is irrelevant and not something anyone is required to share, all are welcome here if they contribute and are respectful of others. Ironically you've been the source of the greatest amount of toxicity than I've seen here in quite a long time. If you think there is no science, no intelligent discourse, just intolerance and toxicity then I have to wonder why you are here? Has it occurred to you to try being friendly and not just complaining constantly? Are you as angry and bitter in real life as you come off as here?

content: Quote from: Sherlock Holmes on February 17, 2023, 07:25:49 pmI had originally encouraged the moderators to grant you that favor. But I can also see the appeal of sitting back and watching how long you can resist the urge to submit your next troll post to this forum you want nothing to do with.

content: Not cool...Either edit your post, or go into your account and change the email and password to something you won't remember, if you don't want to be here anymore.This thread might have been relevant back in 2021, but now, not really?

content: Quote from: Sherlock Holmes on February 17, 2023, 07:25:49 pmYou sound like someone aiming at the local virtual equivalent of "death by cops".Why don't you take personal responsibility for actioning your wishes, and simply stop posting here. After all, if you aren't in the pram there's no chance of people thinking you're thrown all your toys out of the pram (c.f. bigfoot22 deleting all his posts).Oh yes, almost forgot... To ensure future people remember your qualities, the standard technique to thwart bigfoot22's technique is to quote your post thus:Quote from: Sherlock Holmes on February 17, 2023, 06:46:26 pm

content: Haha, I had just been wanting to spew my favorite ilk, today, and happened upon THIS sorry state of spew......but telling myself "Dave don't like too much, off electronics main topic,...", just because, it's also unprofessional, and, methinks; juvinile / teenage gossipy, and all the other immature content.Providers worry, about content, not just that OP content is with open hostility.

content: Quote from: ataradov on February 17, 2023, 11:29:06 pmI had a glance through some of his older posts and many of them did appear to be on topic, displaying technical/engineering knowledge and not particularly unpleasant. I'm always left wondering when something like this happens and a person suddenly starts being extremely angry and antagonistic for no obvious reason. There have been a few others show up in the past that just couldn't seem to get their anger under control and instead took it out on the forum. It's a bit of a mystery to me why he was lashing out, nobody was being particularly mean to him.
