You can click on the hyperlink in the quote which brings you to the post being quoted, the full context is never lost, just takes a tiny bit of effort to view.
If the forum were more advanced you could probably have auto-collapsing context, and let it be a user setting.

Drop the drama gnif, I agree that you failed but that could have happened to anyone.

Huh? This in in my footer because people contact me directly for support/moderation at times as they see my Admin status, a role which I require to perform my function here for Dave of admin and management. Their requests will go unanswered if they do so in the future.

Edit: This said, I am tired of this and wasted enough of my efforts in trying to help people to see the truth of things and my actions. I thank those that were understanding and can forgive, and I thank those that have been supportive though this. The stress of this thread and the outcome of my actions have weighed heavy on myself and I must step away from all of this to clear my head and move on. As such I am un-following this thread and will no longer be discussing this. My feelings, decisions and position has been made clear and I see no reason to remain.

Dave, I apologise for the fact that the communication for this issue was not in it's own email thread which would have been easier to notice as something that urgently required attention. It's as much my fault here too.

No. You can admit fault if you like, but everyone in thread complaining has worked for someone like Dave in their lifetime and they know that just sending emails doesn't work. Nobody bothered to metaphorically accost Dave in the hallway. Nobody.

A room filled with complainers and apparently not one of them understands the concept of the squeaky wheel.

- like and subscribe for more rants.  ;)

Alright, maybe I misjudged it and I'm willing to admit that, sorry!

Yep, we all have to remember that at the end of the day gnif is just anyone of us, human, and there is not a human alive who has never made mistakes although the world is full of people who claim they are the exception. I acknowledge that I have made plenty in my time, and we learn from those mistakes and gnif has been big enough to admit he has made mistakes so let him live in peace, I respect him, and he has earned that much after the public roasting he received, lets wish him well in his new capacity.

Only in simple twatter like posts.

Many replies to complex interesting posts have multiple points that are best interleaved with the original.

If you want non-nested quoting, go to stackexchange or edaboard. There's a good chance you will see what I mean, and come back.

And if pigs had wings they could fly.

(See, even responses to boring trivial posts benefit from interleaving, to associate one point with the other).

--- Quote from: EEVblog on August 29, 2022, 05:44:11 am ---As per the other TEA forum, it seems that at least one person is pissed off that people where trying to explain to me what was happening in the TEA thread and I "didn't listen" or ignored the whole thing.
This is not true. I literally had no idea any discussion was taking place in TEA because I don't read nor frequent the TEA thread. First thing i heard about any of this was when I was allerted to this thread here that was already a dozen pages deep. I posted a few minutes after eventually seeing this thread.

When big shit like this is going down on the forum, do me and everyone a favour and don't assume that I know what's going on. My daily use on the forum is limited to a few threads I'm interested in and the occasional browse of new ones. TEA is not one of them.

I get the same moderator report email alerts as the other mods, but the others are so quick to respond that I rarely get a chance to see what went down, so I just assume it was taken care of and everyone went back their merry way.

Except we did tell you. Directly to your face and to the moderators. If you weren't aware, it isn't for lack of us trying to open a dialogue

--- End quote ---

Sorry, but that's not the case. You thought you were, and that's no fault of you or anyone else. As I said before, this thing was going on for at least 4 days before I found out about it. Why? Because I don't read the TEA thread.
And no one, not a single user alerted me to what was happening (subject to the gnif email I missed as I metioned before).
No messages like "hey, stuff is getting wild in the TEA thread, you should really do something".

For the last time, I literally not had idea any of this was happening.

Sorry, that's on me because I missed an email message gnif sent me 5 days ago. I can't go back in time and fix that, it's done.
