This forum is full of hateful people

In terms of searching, the google search engine on ecf really works well. For instance today I wanted to find a reference, did a search on the words "boost regulator efficiency", and it returned specific posts with all 3 words. From there it was easy to track down what I needed.

Aggressive posture - No... Just disappointed if that was the intention of your post, but you said it was not so that is good.

There have been many a post made on this forum just to see what it would inflame. For them it was fun. This forum has been good to me - especially in the beginning now I try to repay that effort where I can - my reason for coming into this thread in the first place.

Well take care and I hope you the best in the future...

I've NEVER noticed the google search box. I bet that is pretty helpful.

Once again, I find it difficult to understand. I re-read the whole thread. I don't perceive any aggression. Just people stating their disagreement and explaining why they disagree.

I begin, however, to believe that you confuse disagreement with disrespect. If so, again, I'm sorry - but I... disagree.

There is no psychological dilemma here: people have opinions, sometimes divergent.

And once again we are faced with the strange situation in which someone makes an assertion that is, at least, debatable and claims that expressions of disagreement or attempts at debating such assertion are a form of violence.

I will say this again. Based on this thread, you are not a victim of any form of aggression.

I really hope that this attempt at positioning yourself as a victim is not a further attempt to generate conflict.

Well, at least you can take your assumption back after you've made it, which is better than most.

Honestly, the reason i posted this was to politely remind people to be polite. I was hoping to improve the quality of the forum, not to ostracize myself from it. It was meant to be more of a reminder than anything, but I think a lot of people didn't read anything past the title, or couldn't understand it, and let the stoning begin. I've already said i should've worded it different, but i guess it wouldn't have mattered. I'll take something away from this though, and i guess that lesson will be to shut the .... up, not try to change human nature for the better, and continue to further distance myself from the human race. It won't be long before i'm in a shed in the woods somewhere, first i'll have to get rid of my nicotine addiction though.

The best intentions always end up bad for me.

Guess the OP got lots of negative Karma points for starting this thread.

Bad Juju,for using us as guinea pigs.

WWIV -> I used to be able to recognize what type of modem, speed, and error correction in use was connecting to my BBS by the tone.... man that was a long time ago.

I don't think my neices will ever know the utter joy that I would get listening to my modem connect. And my utter terror at the busy signals

good times.

and for the record, the site i was referring to with karma, there is no negative karma, and that seems to work for them.

In the beginning I thought maybe you were speaking about Reddit Now I know that you werent.

Honestly though, looks like we joined at about the same time. I really hope you stick around and find that most of the people here seem to genuinely want to help. Thats the thing though; when people are passionate about something, as many people are passionate about Vaping; there's bound to be some tiffs.

Remember, it's not what YOU think you're saying but how other perceive it.

And what's good Karma without bad Karma?
Nothing but a lopsided view.

Could you imagine surfing the internet of today on a 128baud modem and I used to be so proud of mine when it was hooked up to my 8088 with dual 5 1/4" floppy drives... I used to do some awesome and deep programming on that little machine - that is why it is still in my attic - cannot bring myself to throw it away.

Back at Xmas time Office Depot was offering an $50 discount if you turned in your old printer on the purchase of a new printer. I gave them the dot matrix that went with my 8088 - the girl actually asked me what it was...

Noo. That's not what i said at all. From a psychological perspective, it is intriguing to me that so many people responded to the initial post in such a classically defensive manner. Had this been a test though, i think the way you interpreted the post you are referring to in your above post indicates an aggressive posture.

Other guy, you're right, this is a moot point and concurrently a pointless thread. I wouldn't mind if it were deleted myself to stop the hate mail that's currently flowing into my inbox. And just because this has spawned so much aggression (every time i say that, someone else thinks i'm talking to them personally). I don't think there's anything to be gained from this anymore, which was initially kinda my point about other threads. They always devolve into some strange anger-thon.

Please report the hate mail with the triangle. Thank you.

Gathering up all the 2 cents and buying coffee for all...Let's go !
Closing this thread.


(You barely made it zoiD !)


Read back through these posts...and think about them in relation to the OP...



Editing to add: I think I have closed more threads the past two weeks than the whole time I've been a mod added up...
