[R-390] Self-inflicted wounds?

[Perry Sandeen]

List,
 
This is a very overdue post.
 
The other Barry commented about self-inflicted
wounds.
 
Well Berry, do I have news for you.
 
On a capacitor discussion a while back, I made the
HORRIBLE mistake of using CAPS as the last word in my opinion about which type
of capacitors should be used for RF and which for audio.
 
Because of using CAPS I was mocked and ridiculed
by a list member not once, but twice.  When I wrote online that I believed he owed me an apology I was
ridiculed again. A real butt reaming.
 
I wrote to the list administrator asking him to
give a private rebuke to the poster.  The
gist of the list administrator’s comments said IIRC that he didn’t make rebukes
as they didn’t do any good.
 
I have on file every list post and relevant email since
2001 if I need to prove my point.
 
There are different rules for different members.
 
To answer W. Li’s comment about getting back to
posting technical articles.
 
It’s simple.
 
We had two of the most knowledgeable people, Dr. Jerry
and Dallas Lankford, were chased off the list by list members who were
continually disrespectful, argumentative and ungracious.
 
If you want to go back to the posted articles at
the R-390a.net none of the above types of people have ever posted a useful
contribution.   Then look at what articles
I’ve written to contribute.
 
I’m far from perfect and have made posting errors,
and I’ve apologized when I’ve inadvertently offended someone.
 
Half a dozen people have commented to me off list
that they lurk but do not post because of the negative treatment received.
 
The day that Roger Ruszkowski can no longer post
here this list will die.  There is none who
are as kind, patient, and knowledgeable as him.  Since he repaired the R 3XX series for so long none the list
wisenheimers give him any grief.  Plus
Roger has forgotten more than the collective wisenheimers know.
 
 Sad truth; unfortunately.
 
Regards,
 
Perrier
