just stop clicking on the links in the email. You only get a notification the first time a new comment is posted. If you do not view it you won't get more emails. That stops you getting a whole slew of unnecessary emails. Or click on the unnotify button at the top/bottom.

I think all of this is heavily forced bullshit and we must be prepared to rollback this madness and destruction at any moment.

--- Quote from: EEVblog on July 23, 2020, 07:35:06 am ---A natural result of what happens when people try to push stuff in our industry that affects us, every aspect of it gets discussed in a discussion forum.
We are engineers here. And engineers are blunt, don't like bullshit, and will call things out as they see it.

And anyone who thinks differently than you and your mates isn't an engineer, really. Lacks the capacity for logic. Got it.

Wow, reaching much?
I should have used the word "typically", as in #NotAll
I thought that would have been obvious.

If any engineer wants to think there is value in this stuff then they are welcome to that opinion and to defend it. Just don't be surprised when the majority of engineers don't see any value in it and call your proposal silly.
It's not just here, ask this anywhere (apart from Twitter) and you'll end up with a locked thread like on Hackaday because so many people think it's silly, and that hurts the feelings of those proposing it.

Well said.

The tone of this response to Dave's comment illustrates exactly what is wrong. People like 'luke' are allergic to healthy debate. They apparently think that "freedom of speech" is "freedom from speech", particularly when it's speech they disagree with. No, it doesn't work that way. If you find yourself 'uncomfortable' about debating something like the topic of this thread and feel like it ought to be 'canceled' because whatever virtue signaling talking point, you are part of the problem.
