Bob Cordell Interview: Negative Feedback

Bob, these people can be rude to me, too! I don't know why they can get away with it, yet I can't act the same way on this website.


Hi John, I understand.

To a point, I try to make a positive thing out of it. When challeged on something I explain or assert, it makes me think harder and work harder to verify that what I said is accurate, on the one hand, and to better explain it on the other hand. Indeed, some of the earlier exchanges here did indeed make me think about some of these things in a more detailed way and gain some better insight. After about the third explanation, though, it can test one's patience. 🙂

Cheers,
Bob

I second that.

Up to a point, I can ignore the crude or unpolite packaging and rethink the issues. Complacency is a bad bedfellow.

When after the second or third attempt to drive a point - and feeling confident I have all bases covered and my errors taken care of - the flak goes on, then I can move on with other matters.

Your Designs????

Hi John,

I see you've been feverishly examining the Control literature to justify your prepared diatribe. 🙂

Last minute examination of texts you're patently not intimately familiar with leads to quotes taken out of context and outright misinterpretation.

I will not demean myself by calling your misrepresentation ''complex ideas''.

If you think Bob's feedforward (YES!!!) PHASE LEAD (YES!!) compensation causes pole splitting, then by all means you're entitled to your religion.

There is much I could say about your post, but for now it is enough to say you really don't know what you're talking about.

By the way i was not ''criticizing Bob'', but merely disagreeing with his viewpoint.


I have watched your interaction here, in the process of reading this interesting thread, and as a person formally trained and skilled in the art I'd say that you are projecting your habit of misrepresenting facts, or spinning a discussion as I prefer to call it, on jcx here. You do this, spinning the facts repeatedly, when experts have been generous enough to take the time and explain things to you. I agree with jcx about your mis-use of the phrase feedforward, indeed I agree with his entire post.

By the way, I've kept an eye out for a single completed power amp design from you, yet I've not seen even one. Did I miss it? I ask because clearly, you seem to think that you are "the expert" given your attitude here.
Please refer me to it if you have even one that you've published. I'm aware that you wrote a paper on output protection circuits which does not interest me. I'd like to see a design of yours that represents your thinking on a best design. It does not have to include EC, even an old design will do.

I find it mildly amusing that your named ''authority'' posted a reference here containing the use of the term ''feedforward'' that is at variance with the one you profess to ''agree with''.

I examine and respond to posts here on their merits and not on the claims to fame made by their authors. This, it would appear, is a concept you find entirely alien.

I have scant regard for personal opinions and prejudices unsupported in theory or fact, regardless of source.

If you ''believe'' this to be the case, then prove it. Otherwise don't waste both mine and your time.

Mike, I can only speak for myself, but I have just about had it with your attitude problem. I'm hopeful that the moderator will step in and give you some vacation time to think about adjusting it. People come here to learn in good faith, not to debate you, and be attacked by someone like you. Grow up, and come back when you can make a positive contribution to these discussions. I am sorry to be so blunt, but you have obviously been ignoring the message being sent by many on this board so far. Stop sabotaging this thread.

Hi Bob,

I, too, can only speak for myself. If you can adduce evidence of an ''attitude problem'', then by all means present it and I'll duly apologise.

This, of course, is in contradistinction to merely feeling peeved that I have presented and, more importantly, adduced evidence for an opposing point of view.

This, obviously, would be juvenile, but I am certain you appreciate the difference, or do you? :scratch2:

Regards,

Mike.

I think I'll avoid your thread entirely.


Mike,

That should be a most unfortunate outcome.

You started this thread(s) in the first place and are an active, provocative character in this cast. (and more often than not a thorn in the a..). Which is just fine, infuriating as it may be, a sure way to shake away complacency (and casual interlopers not willing to take the trouble to work harder).

But that you have some attitude problem is probably an understatement. You have often been proven wrong yet have not acknowleged even after repeated attempts under different wording and formulations.

I am no one to lecture you on attitude for sure, but when a majority looks like poised against one, it is high time to take notice, regroup, and try to find out why.

I am comfident Bob shares this, even after running out of patience 😉 .
