Sad to see a nearly 10 year member drive a new member to such an emotional outburst leading to a ban.
It seems your approach needs an adjustment. You provided your input at which point the OP made it clear they didn't want you to engage further, yet you essentially relentlessly continued. You seem more like a bully than a contributor.
I don't know which 10 year member you are attempting to blame this one but you can't blame this on just one person (other than perhaps the OP). A lot of people (pretty much every reply) were skeptical of the OP's claims and asked questions and pointed out the OP's misleading statements.
If the OP didn't want to engage further, then all he had to do was to ignore the thread.
There is a difference between tactful critiqueing and, well, what we had here.
Let alone simply inquiring for further information -- perhaps they have those data and just neglected to provide it. Admittedly a remote possibility, but one that must be tried before dogpiling on.
And once one rudeness has been perceived, the sharks circle, things only get worse, and the battle for civility has been lost. The very first replies have a
moral duty to be polite, for they set the tone for the rest of the thread.
I suspect there's a lot of undiagnosed and unrealized ASD, I mean in electronics in general for one, but more particularly among members here. It is necessary to present facts (or point out the lack thereof), yes -- but it is
not sufficient to do only that, especially when doing so with a tone of voice that reads somewhere between frank and condescending.
I don't say this just to chide, or lecture. I say this from personal experience, and I'm sure a lot of people here are even more keenly aware of it than I am... It's something I've practiced all my life, to varying degrees of success, as I notice even from posts just a few years old, on the occasion I happen across them. It's a skill that can be forever improved, and is particularly difficult to master as few if any people are interested or willing to critique ones' interactions (aren't you supposed to figure that out in grade school? what could be more basic? ah, but what indeed).
