Or... am I just trying to throw out the water without the baby?

Bye from my side too...

This confirms how exclusionary this "community" is.  And that's what is incompatible with the EEVBlog. Not TEA. That's why the "community" is gone, but TEA remained.

One of the members of said "community" requested and Dave provided within minutes what he wanted: that the thread be moved to a sub-forum. Dave created the sub-forum and left to the OP, the founder of the "community", the simple task of moving the thread there. Did he do that? No. Now the members of the "community" are there mocking Dave as 5th grade kids.

All of this explains why the "community" imploded here. Let's only hope that the "community" may mature and stop causing imbroglios elsewhere.

You have chosen to remove the context, which clearly indicates the exact opposite of your statement.

That style is indicative and revealing.

It is also a favoured technique of demagogues such as Stalin and Trump.

Now for something completely different, I'll chip in my opinion:
1. TEA thread should be locked and at the top and bottom a link placed to the TEA groups.io group.
2. There should be no TEA subforum.

There are still users happily using the TEA thread every day, so I am not going to lock it.
Why ruin other people's enjoyment just because a bunch of people who used to use it decided to leave? Makes no sense at all.
Everyone is free to come and go as they chose here, it's literally in the title "A Free & Open Forum For Electronics Enthusiasts & Professionals".

I hope Zucca won't, to use an English expression, throw the baby out with the bathwater.

--- End quote ---

That's interesting - are you trying to kid on us, or is this an real English expression?
I'm asking since the literal translation "Das Baby (or Das Kind) mit dem Bad ausschütten" is a common German expression. Usually literally translations of such expressions don't work.

--- End quote ---

Yes, it is an English expression, but... It seems we stole it researched it from a Teutonic original, Germany not existing that long ago :)

Thank you for prodding my preconceptions!

After all, where did the Angles & Saxons come from? ;D
