Unfortunately, “Ground Police” will always find the way to inject “Safety Earth” into any attempt to have a serious consideration of grounding and then, subsequently, suffocate conversation with endless “philanthropic effort” of “preventing deaths of many DIYERs and their family members”.
As an example, just look at this indeed helpful thread:

The first 11 posts were indeed great then, after the injection of SE, the debate degenerated into 35 pages of nothingness. The main contributor has surrendered in post #33 although it seems that he had much more to tell us. What a loss.
