--- Quote from: jonpaul on September 07, 2023, 02:52:17 am ---MK14: taking the Mickey? A UK idiom or expression? In US EN, "slip a mickey" means adding a sleeping powder to someones drink.... j --- End quote --- Sorry, I should have been more considerate, on the internation audience here. It means (I meant), they are (I've used internet searches to help me explain it), 'mocking' us, teasing us, 'making fun, laughing at us, behind our backs'. If you attempt to follow the 'Treez' *character*, onto other platforms. In some case(s), they seem to attempt to justify and explain, what they are doing here, on EEVblog forum. (I've intentionally not linked to it here, I've lost the link, for now, anyway). They have been extremely upset and mentally hurt, over some of the comments (from a long time in the past), on EEVblog forum. Especially surrounding them being mocked on here, for not taking the necessary (or essential, as many of us see it), safety precautions, and safety design, with electronic things. Instead of (correctly), understanding that failing to make/use/design electronics in certain ways. Can literally lead to unsafe situations, and even injuries or death(s). They seem to prefer to mock us, and disregard, standard practices. In such places and in some cases. There appear to be the original, and (electrically speaking) correct, ORIGINAL (probably real), question(s) (opening posts). Which go into huge details and seem to be properly constructed, electronics forum questions. But by the time they get posted here, they have almost all the real details, removed from them. To the point of turning those original questions, into a trolling, mockery type of situation. Take a current example. I seem to have come across the real, original question. Which involves, a BLDC type motor (or similar), and its possible negative voltages, into the ADC pin of a microcontroller. Hence possible precautions, against those transient or worse, signals damaging the ADC input pin. Complete with sensible looking schematic and other perfectly reasonable looking technical details (if I remember, correctly). I.e. Here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/opamp-inputting-to-microcontroller/msg5044837/#msg5044837 Hence, he is making posts, like this very recent one: --- Quote from: Faringdon on September 07, 2023, 05:53:21 am ---OK thanks, though i am novice level. Think Norris the novice. --- End quote --- Which to me, would seem like it is obvious, they are not telling the (full) truth, and are carrying out a massive set of, what I perceive as, 'attacks against this forum'. They even (in another place on the internet), list the three forums, they are specifically targeting. Hence me saying, this is intentional trolling (or whatever it needs to be called). I don't think this forum should rely on perhaps thousands of EEVblog forum users, to have to attempt to activate the 'ignore' feature of this forum. Especially since it doesn't really work properly (as already said in this thread and other places). E.g. since their topics are still shown. There is more (or much more) to this (including they are very significantly upset with this forum and other places), story, than I'm mentioning here. But I'm not 100% sure of the details, and think it best, to not stir up too much trouble. I suppose in summary: They may have a big grudge against the EEVblog forum (and a small number of other, similar places), and perhaps its moderation team. So, they like to make (apparently to me, at least) trolling threads, which are poking fun at our preference for reasonable safety standards, and professionalism, within electronics. Which they perhaps see, as a pile of nonsense, on our part. |

--- Quote from: tggzzz on September 07, 2023, 07:51:34 am ---While I understand avoiding anything that even resembles "doxxing", I think such information could be useful in this context. --- End quote --- There are at least three apparently good reasons, I haven't linked to recent findings. Firstly, it takes far too long, to reach a very high degree of certainty, that a differently named forum user (on any forum, on the internet), is another Treez/Flyback/Farringdon account. As an aside, they can't even spell their own user name correctly. See here: https://www.londonxlondon.com/london-area-guides/farringdon/ So, I've decided, that for the future. I'd prefer to use better and more reliable methods. Secondly, that information could easily be googled, to find a whole lot of other stuff, which I'm intentionally NOT mentioning. As I'm nowhere near, 100% sure of what is really going on, and don't want to start up false stories/rumours. (But the trolling is obvious enough, to call it out, without needing robust evidence). Thirdly and MOST importantly. I DON'T know what is going on in their head, or what they are really thinking. So, I'm inherently stuck as to knowing their true motivations. So, it seems fairly obvious they are up to no good, and being disruptive (trolling) on purpose. But why and the fuller picture/story, involves too much speculation. E.g. The past poster on here, (permanently banned) ETI. It was obvious they were up to no good. But precisely why they did it, and what they were thinking, inside their head, is unknown to us (outside of speculation). |

There is also a Faringdon between Swindon and Oxford. Nice little country town centre :) |
