General Technical Chat / Re: Why does the US provide all critical electronic design knowledge to the world?
« Last post by wilfred on Today at 02:49:11 pm »Yes you are! You are seeking to impose your will - to get the thread closed - on the rest of us. It's a clear case of "I don't like it so I'm going to spoil it for everyone." If that isn't selfish and arrogant, I don't know what is.
There is no logical reason for you to ask for it to be closed, because you can be entirely free of this thread BY NOT CLICKING ON IT.
The fact that you seem unwilling to behave reasonably, and just stay away, raises all sorts of questions about your integrity and your real reason for being here.
I don't spend as much time on the forum as I did a few years ago but before you delude yourself that you speak for "the rest of us" be assured you don't speak for me.
This was a more common style of thread 4 or 5 years ago and I took a closer look at the threads back then and found the top 10 posters within would take up over 50% of the threadspace. Sometimes well over. They were hardly representative of a majority of members since the vast majority stayed well clear.
I thought then, and still do, that they are best avoided on the forum entirely.
One thing stands out as different is Dave isn't so active yet in this thread.
