Hi Bear,
Good post. I do have to agree with you unfortunately.
At this point in time, we are preparing for a changeover and a few other things. Most of the moderating team is pretty busy. Me, I'm not as energetic as I used to be, but with any luck, that will change. So a bad time for people to lose control here.
In general, to everyone here.
There are many of us who are in positions of responsibility in real life, and many who have to deal with others in a professional manner. The general tone here is supposed to be respectful towards each other. Unless you want to look like an idiot, you should be acting in a professional manner. The same way you would be expected to behave in a meeting. When you misbehave, it does reflect poorly on you, and it's a small world. I have met a few members in real life and there are many people who do read this forum. Just remember that you aren't all faceless behind your computers, and poor behavior will probably affect you in some way in your real life. This could be in the form of an offer not extended due to the way you act on the web.
Look at things another way. If you carry yourself well, it sure can't hurt!
Bear, you are being diplomatic! That certainly is not lost on many members. You did lay out your thoughts in a clear and reasonable way, for that I do thank you. Even though I am part of the problem by not being present as much as I'd like. You do point out that everyone is responsible for their own actions, although not in those words. I am hoping that people at least consider what you have said for longer than it takes to read your post.

I think that the sim is good to discuss. Discuss, not confront or be contentious.
If I were a moderator, I think that i would have "adjusted" some attitudes by one means or another long ago. I think this shows that there is a wide latitude and relative lack of censorship.
Imho this comes roughly under the heading of "shouting fire in a crowded theater". To make the idea clear, I'm referring to the idea that there should be no self censorship nor moderator "censorship" - meaning that everyone should just spout off the very first thing that comes into their head. Eh?
It's not the technical or informational content of some posters, it is the deliberate and explicit or implicit tone, attitude, that has nothing to do with anything factual or informational.
Let's say this about what I just said: I'm being diplomatic.

Why don’t you call a spade a spade?
If you mean that I have said something wrong in my post I need to know to correct it.
If you are talking about somebody else I think that they would appreciate it if you said it directly, call a spade a spade.

You have brought out some good points from time to time, and presented them well. These last posts are not doing anyone any good and run against the general tone here.
If you have a problem, then please bring it up in a more insightful manner in an appropriate place. Try to avoid stirring things up. That action is not gaining you any respect here.
I do have an email button, you are welcome to use it. If you wish to rant, be assured I'll ignore you. If you want to talk about something that is bothering you, I'm game. I would much rather you get more out of being here than to be able to say to a friend "Hey! Look what I just posted! I really showed 'em". However, that is your choice.
If you want to be taken seriously, please calm down and post either information or questions relating to a technical topic.

Edit:
Forgot the other "cop" symbol.
Ok, OS, I hear what you're saying but in order to avoid confusion could we not just start with a definitive SD Krill schematic for each of the power ratings posted 50W, 100W 200W?? This would help clarify matters. then variants can be discussed but at least everybody is referring back to a base schematic!
It is good to be on the "same page". I just didn't have any
of steve's devices , I used what I had and used "the evil LT"
to get it right the first time. (no
).
Designing a common device version would really put this wonderful design within the reach of many more builders.
(india , africa , s. america)
In the US and EU we take our sourcing for granted..
Edit : Not everyone will be using the same PS , as well,
so a "scale " of CCS Re's would be helpful for those who
use recycled trafo's..

If you are posting with a cop symbol, how can you expect people to ignore it?
BTW: I don't see anything wrong about this post by Joshua (I think he is right) or what do you think?

Remember, Steve has not shown us his SOTA yet, and perhaps that was not his intention.
Exactly. As BudP has over EnabL and others about equally contentious subjects. If you make the claim, you need to be able to show clear proof or be willing to fight it out.
(fight it out, used above, is a figure of speech. Not the actual physical pummeling that can happen in a real pugilistic contest, but more a heated discussion - a quasi argument. I did not mean that Steve should don the gloves and step into the ring. Thank you.)

That matches the latest information I have. It would not surprise me to find one or two errors tho - there have been quite a few changes made over the progress of the thread.
This is the list I'm building from as soon as I can get the painters out of the house and get my work area back.

No, I am not aiming at anyone in particular in my post.
If anyone, including you, feels "concerned" then by all means engage your "diplomacy" sub-routine and punch it up to a higher run-time priority?
