I come to conclusion that nobody likes me here, so after a month into HV, I'm stopping it, and going to back to other stuff.

Bye.

I feel I should say something here.

I understand there was an incident earlier in the chat room that Walshy got the blame for (by a moderator)

I don't know exactly what went on, but I do know that it was my girlfriend, who was drunk, that was responsible for at least some, if not all, of what Walshy was blamed for.

I just wanted to clear that up.

What happened is, Ash Small (your girlfriend) saying their name was Lyn, was using the name WebChatUser, I left because my router went off for a few seconds, I kept refreshing and I entered with the name WebChatUser, just after you left, and I said I was Walshy. Then Bjorn blamed me.

Well, just to clear things up, it wasn't Walshy, it was Lyn.

I said so at the time (once I could log in again under my own name).

I don't want Walshy to be blamed for something my drunk girlfriend did.

Being drunk and completely incomprehensible in the chatroom is not a brilliant idea but not a big deal in small doses.

It did spark a series of bad Turing / Blade Runner jokes that walshy appeared in the middle of.

We can blame everyone but there is not much blame to be handed out so it is all fine.

These things are best kept in PM, otherwise it seems like a cry for attention.

Many of us who are simple hobbyists deeply depend on those who have an EE background to point out errors or simple misinterpretations.

I am deeply grateful for folks who have a greater level of knowledge (professional or not) for illustrating correct functionality because by comparison a great deal of learning is achieved (IMO).

However; personally, I never hold it against anyone for my error (as I make them with a bit of plurality....) & there are a lot more folks like me - rather than people who have a true university-level education in this material or have such vast experience and direct work-related handling of it; therefore I have always felt gratitude when someone pointed out my misinterpretations.

One of the biggest interpersonal issues is that through a written medium; it's tough to tell if someone is being quietly polite (or simply direct & concise) in their discussing of an on-going dialog or a mistake. Personally I take a correction as a "helping hand" rather than a condemnation of my intellect as a whole. After all, this is a hobby for many and no one is expected to know all about it from the start.

I would emphasize that any "correction" made in a discussion should be primarily viewed in this context; especially if the notation were a simple dialog of the science involved [and] not interpersonal digression were made or slights written - directed personally as an attack.

I would note that I also had a misinterpretation of the function of the Mazelli driver & my mistakes were pointed out to me as well. I felt gratitude toward those who took the time to do so.
But the written word IS difficult to assess as interpretative but I do my best to always assume innocence rather than guilt toward those who take the time to correct my misinterpretation of an element in science.

I once had a gentleman chuckle at me as I appeared "overly polite" or appreciative however I really DID feel great appreciation toward him for taking the time to answer a query. I have also had some tell me they simply didn't have the time to deal w/ the subject matter. But we are all human beings and have many personal priorities. Having someone "like me" is not on the top of my list but a productive dialog can be clipped and short yet show a great deal of care & concern; yet not spelled out as I am doing now.
If someone does not "like me" I assume they will either ignore me or insult me. I have found neither and I've made some big mistakes and asked some fairly ridiculous questions. In some other subjects I am fairly well versed.
The written format of communication is very often difficult to assess to terms of emotional content. Additionally some do NOT have to like me as a human being, socially, politically, educationally, vocationally or otherwise in order to be helpful. However I have also learned that takes a degree of maturity and detachment on my part to utilize their contributions independently.

I may quite frankly care what someone is going through or their predilections emotionally - but that has little bearing on my hobby. Interpersonal relationships are a "social science" & that is not what I understand EE to be.
Perhaps that should be saved for direct person to person communication (via a personal message) that this forum is very capable of providing.
