Whirlpool locks threads for ongoing "thread vandalism", where the OP heavily edits their posts well after the fact, often to change the entire context of their argument, especially in situations where the OP is being heavily criticised. I just noticed an instance of "thread vandalism" here: --- Quote from: Someone on December 29, 2023, 12:14:59 am ---[... and there we have it. Changing the post to make it look like people are disagreeing with you. There was no need to edit the original post when you can just add your new argument inline. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- It is extremely annoying to have to do that. Fortunately on this forum there are only a small number of similarly disreputable people - you can all guess who I'm thinking of! |

It's nice to track and verify any decisions, hopefully using common sense, but a patient shouldn't be first middle and last 'care expert'. I mean, heck, I can't legally prescribe medications, some of which are very dangerous. --- End quote --- I recommend using *extreme* caution when exercising "common sense". There's tons of shit that common sense gets 100% wrong - and plenty of it will kill you. --- End quote --- Just so. "Common sense isn't". In cases where a reputable person has a different opinion, I make an effort to understand the cause of the different opinion. That way I learn something, even if I don't change my opinion. There are a few people I listen to very carefully whenever they disagree with me :) Talking to medics is just like talking to engineers or lawyers. The key point is to understand the different options, to enumerate the questions that differentiate between the options, and make sure you get and understand the answers to the questions (or why the question isn't important). |

They never add the necessary pre-conditions, and - disgracefully IMHO - often belittle or deny them. --- End quote --- I hadn't spotted this thread, but I like seeing that the mods have locked it https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/isolation-of-the-oscilloscope-from-the-mains-with-two-transformers/msg5244183/#msg5244183 |
