John Larkin has his preferred delusions. Getting a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry isn't what most people would described as a failure in chemistry. Since he doesn't know the symbol most elecronic engineers use for frequency, his ignorance about what ex-chemists might do isn't exactly surprising. He could seem enough examples my habits here, but he long ago worked that I don't post the flattery he craves, so he doesn't bother to look at them.

Don't encourage him. It's not even his slur, but one he poached from James Arthur, who should have had enough sense not to confuse the occasional typo with actual ignorance. Not that James Arthur had much sense - he confessed to being a paid shill for the Koch brothers here (back when there were still two of them) and has gone quiet ever since.

Fork you. I will encourage whomever I wish to encourage.

That is a really good idea. I have done something similar when reducing common mode voltages for a half-bridge converter, but didn't think to use it in this application. Thanks for that :-)

Bill, you have written 252 ad hominem (what you term "rude") posts on this newsgroup since 7/15/2023. On several occasions I mentioned the (what I called negative) nature of what you posted in a reply to it. The "rude" posts to which I refer sometimes had worthwhile points in them in addition to the rude remarks, and sometimes not. But it (the rudeness in the posts) is so frequent as to be off putting.

I told you my thinking - that you have something to offer - so please don't waste time on the negatives. Sadly it didn't work. I got to the point where I thought I was your only fan after wading through post after post where you denigrate the one to whom you are replying.

I mention all of this because you told me it would be a kindness you would appreciate if someone pointed out your errors to you. You will undoubtedly think that you are without error in this, or that the rudeness was justified.

Whatever. It's my loss to miss whatever good content you might post in place of ad hominem nonsense which adds nothing of value.

Ex fan. Ed

So why aren't you calli g out John Larkin?

Tough. Get used to it. People like John Larkin, who have a very high opinion of their own competence, don't pay any attention to posts pointing out their errors unless the point is make very clear,.

I'll take all the fans I can get, but I've been rude to people who are mostly pretty reliable. We are all human and make mistakes from time to time.

I never think that I am without error. I do think that a lot of the rudeness is necessary and justified, but it is likely that I could get much the same effectt - usually none - if I were more polite.

It get the attention of the target - briefly.,

I'll live.

Unfortunately.

Bozo displays virtually all of the characteristics of Adult Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and probably had the childhood version of the same. People with this disorder do it because it gets them attention, even if the attention is negative. It is treatable, but the individual must admit the problem and want the treatment, which is highly unlikely in Bozo's case.

It's a about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, from which I've never suffered. You tend not to make it all the way through the educations system to a Ph.D. if you do.

Sewage Sweeper's intellectual deficits seem to be more recent - he wouldn't have made it to his current age if he had them when younger - and look like senile dementia.

Hey Bozo, look at the symptoms - you check ALL the boxes!

Bozo's Sewage Sweeper

As you understand them. Your capacity to look at evidence that contradicts your preferred conclusion and ignore it, is well known.

ANYBODY can see that you CHECK all the boxes, Bozo, even YOU!

That's an assertion based on your comprehension, which is driven by your vanity, rather than any grasp of reality. If you were a psychiatrist - which you aren't - you wouldn't be allowed to publish any kind of psychiatric assessment without actually meeting and talking to the patient. Box-ticking is well known not to work. Not by you, but you don't know much.
