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

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.

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

Doggerland, until the Norwegian gods drowned them and "cut the continent off"[1] ~6400 years ago. Then the Normans decided The Channel wasn't a problem. We're a right lot of mongrels :)

I'm not sure why everyone is arguing, there is no point to it.

Precisely.

I really don't know why we can't all be friends and be members at both, each has it advantages, all we ask or at least I ask, is that those people on here who were / are offended by OT posts, or the alleged posts referencing bomb making etc do not repeat such allegations and make reports to admin about things.

There were loads of posts here on EEV forum that I and I dare say others didn't agree with, but we just moved on to the next post each time, acting like a grown up respecting other people's point of view and not running off to become keyboard warriors blowing the whistle over nothing.

Anyway for those can act like adults, why not pop over to visit us and have a look around the place. Its still work in progress and we have discovered a simple system to classify what each post is about before you open it, that way can decide if you only want to see posts relating to repairs, then that's what you will see, its really simple to use. https://groups.io

Please stop regurgitating such incorrect BS as bomb making was NEVER discussed in the TEA thread !
Others, lurkers if you may thought they saw such discussion when instead it was a throw away line about 50g and occasionally Cfour may have been mentioned in the same vain.

Although these are real substances and dangerous on the wrong hands not once was irresponsible use of it promoted.
Regurgitating such BS sets alight urban/internet beliefs that are just untruths.

@tautech.
I am simply restating what I think you will find was mentioned by a moderator along with talk of guns and explosives along with that B word. I can only surmise that they were actually summarising the actual list of complaints that they received from the complainers.

I like you, are only too well aware of the references that you mentioned in your reply, who made them and the context in which they were made, and they just became a long-running gag within the thread by those who knew exactly the history of the 50gm thing and was mentioned in response to when Murphy gets you.

Not a single one of us would have allowed the topic that was mentioned by admin, to have taken place, likewise the gun talk was purely very brief and generally only arose after some mass shooting and was condemning the use and carrying of fire arms in general, full stop.
