Electronics > Beginners
Beginners, don't run away, please!

Frankly, I think beginners should run away, with their dumb LTspice simulations of circuits which have no hope of working in the real world, their "Arduinos", their mad propensity to test their Oscilloscopes by hanging them across the nearest Mains socket, their total lack of knowledge of basics, & so much more..... :palm:

I made a suggestion some years back that Dave produce a  segment called "Learn some Basics.....Please!"
Well, the reaction was mostly as if I was "The Grinch that stole Christmas"!
Apparently we weren't supposed to injure their delicate little psyches! >:(

As to using the "F word", I don't use it online or in any written form.
In everyday speech, I drop the odd one, but overuse always reminds me of when I was a stupid teenager, where our every second f----ing word was  the "F word".

Because of this, it always smacks of immaturity, or if a serious context, of being contrived to show the user is "down to earth".

I now seem to have strayed a bit, so back to the original  topic.
Beginners should "get off my lawn!", too!  :D
Electro Detective:
Here's a possible new thread born by this one!   :clap:

Designing a Virtual -Troll Meter-     :-DMM 

1, Virtual analogue display with digital readout

2. Needle at null centre to indicate positive and negative values.

3. Auto and Manual Range Sensitivity with Fast Peak / Min-Max indication for capturing elusive transients

5. Thermocouple input to indicate heating and cooling debate levels

6. Logging with real time Trend graph, and CHEAP (maybe that should be 1. )


FWIW I doubt serious trolls would leave their day job at Facebook to fester here

They'll take one look at the starting gate > www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php  and do a runner back to Facebook

I've had to activate this one on odd occasions.



Feel free to use it !

I truly hope you are not serious.

Nice of you to trim the very next line;

--- End quote ---

I was not making an accusation, I was observing a structural isomorphism.

(Unless your deliberate omission is in fact a troll, in which case, you win this round. ;D )


--- Quote ---A key part of trolling is a deliberate intention to provoke an inflamed debate and to do it without regard for whether one believes in the point made. There can be an arbitrary choice of either side of the debate. Whichever side is likely to gain most effect will be preferred.

--- End quote ---

I'm using a more general criteria here, not requiring intent.  The effect may occur, regardless of intent, and a poster's true intent is unknowable, anyway -- so, it doesn't make a very useful criteria, does it? :) So I discarded it.

I'm writing here, in an analytical and introspective manner, in the overall hopes that a few posters (perhaps including the OP) pick up on it, and develop a more disinterested perspective with their interactions.

And that, my friends, is the key.  If a troll can't get under your skin and make it personal to you, they cannot succeed.  They may flail wildly, but the harder you ignore them, the weaker they become.

The true winner of a troll argument is the one who does not reply.
