Not very civil, I think, and definitely not relevant (see my post above: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/diversity-equity-and-inclusion/msg4365721/#msg4365721). |

I mostly see attacks against over-reaching, extreme, or impractical points of view (sometimes to the point of being confusing whether they're attacking an actual position or inventing and attacking a strawman). Perhaps those points of view have something else in common as well. |

My vote is to lock this thread. --- End quote --- How very decolonial of you. Have you already tweeted how you voted to silence ugly white old middle-aged men griping about politically-motivated irrational unfairness affecting their professions? You should. I'm sure you'll get brownie rainbow points from your fellow ideolobots there. --- End quote --- Oh come on. I have no problem with middle-aged men, being one myself. (And on the upper end of the "middle aged" spectrum.) But I don't enjoy being inside an echo chamber full of us guys. I can develop my own biases and don't need a group to help me develop or reconfirm those. --- End quote --- Then go somewhere else. You are as welcome here as anyone, but if you don't like the thread then don't participate in it. There are loads of threads on this forum that I have no interest in or got bored with. I see no point in complaining that a thread should be locked, when I'm not longer interested in participating I exit, it's simple. |

You know, that this attempt is just proving our point even further? It was stated multiple times that this forum is not a democracy, or a free speech platform, whatever Dave and mods find acceptable goes. |

I remind you, I'm happy to listen to what everyone has to say, as long as they use their own words and not someone elses. It is you, T3sl4co1l, and emece67 that are demanding this thread be locked, because you do not want dissenting opinions or views to exist, and especially not written out anywhere on the internet. Instead of ignoring the thread, you're spending an awful lot of effort to try and lock/cancel it. Why? Do you not see the irony here either? That it is exactly the widespread behaviour you exhibit right now, that we are complaining about? |
