Those threads haven't existed solely for their OP to demostrate how angry and superior they can be about trivial stuff. As such, they have some value to other people too.

Your track record shows you either rant aggressively using baiting adjectives, or you need some help with something. Apparently you don't need help in this thread so we know it's purpose.

TV: Technology
Editing: Technology
Typefaces: Technology
The TV show itself: about factories, using ... technology.

What does the thread "post a picture of a cat" have to do with technology? Less than absolutely nothing. There are others too.

Typefaces are an art form. Editing is a skill or task. TVs are technology, but nothing here is about TVs, you’re whining about stuff that appears on them.

And note that the subforum’s title isn’t “general technology chat”, it’s “general technical chat”, which to me means it’s for “technical discussions about things”, which is not synonymous with “general discussions about technology”.

So cut the crap, dude. You know damned well that you aren’t even discussing technology (never mind in a technical way), you’re bitching about a TV show’s design choices.

Frankly, I’m surprised you haven’t been banned yet. You’ve been granted more leeway and gotten more warnings than many other troublemakers here have.

I have no problem with people discussing off topic tangents on threads, I'm guilty of that myself. What I do take issue with is creating off topic threads for no other purpose than to complain about things that are off topic. Really it's incessant negativity that I have a problem with. "Post a picture of a cat" is off topic but at least pleasant and not confrontational, "xyz sucks and these people are idiots!" is neither on topic nor pleasant.

Except that you have an extensive track record of starting offtopic threads. And now you are just coming up with a "technology" angle to start them.
Please just stop it.

This IS technology. I understand, but it is still technology. "Track record" aside, if you want to treat people equally, regardless of my "track record", then a thread involving technical stuff (which this is) is still just that, regardless of who I am. I've seen FAR LESS technical threads left to continue.

I like the way you are arguing with the forum's owner, and with ill-conceived arguments to boot. Keep it up, since that will (eventually) make the forum a better place!

Don't, whatever you do, look at how many people thanked EEVBlog's post. Nor look at how many people are telling you that you are wrong. Nor improve your understanding and usage of the English language, allegedly your native language.

Yup; ditto.

Possibly for dogs, but not for dog lovers  >:D , and agreed.

Mind you, there are some portraits of people that I've been tempted to post in the cat/dog threads  ::)
