Testing the TK Tar Baby

polln8r · May 22, 2012, 02:31:15 AM

Rosemary,
I'm glad you enjoy it, I imagine I must have been considering the frame at least sub-consciously, I always do. But, the timing didn't allow for as careful a shot as I would have liked. Plus the damned Android camera doesn't give you squat for control of exposure... or at least, mine doesn't.
As for my support of TinselKoala's work: I have been enjoying the videos he's made since long before I ever heard of the things discussed in this thread. I enjoy them because I learn at least a couple things in each and every one, and the things he does in his laboratory reminds me of the time during my childhood I got to spend with my father in his ham-shack with his oscilloscopes that I do not get to enjoy any more. Frankly, I find his sometimes smug attitude a bit off-putting, but for me, it's worth getting past it because underneath there's a lesson to be learned.
I've been many things, a military linguist, a pizza-maker, a sculptor, a construction-worker, a painter... but, I know little about electronics beyond making crude crystal radios, so the bits and pieces I pick up here and there are helpful to me for what I'm planning to do in future artistic endeavors.
Then, a couple months ago I stumble over to this website to finally see what all the fuss over his latest videos is about and find a raging battle going on. At first, it was entertaining, but then what do I see? Lawyers getting involved? Accusations of slander? Over one person's opinion about another?
Honestly Rosemary, I just think it's ridiculous. It's like schoolyard drama and as one of the 'spectators' in this thread I'm, not to put too fine a point on it, appalled (I actually did participate in a test with results that contradicted TK's just a few pages back).
So, I'm going to continue to be supportive of a person who I like to learn from, and I don't give a five-quarter shyte how inappropriate you think I'm being.
That said, I think your ink drawings are very well done, you have a distinct talent for caricature that I sincerely wish I could master. Perhaps you could do some videos making artwork, I would love to learn from them.

Cheers,

Hi again polinater

I KNEW your were an artist. I'm just a dilettante. But I LOVE art. Always out there looking for nascent genius. It's a hobby of mine.

Regarding you being taught by TK. I trust you'll draw the line at his interpretation of instantaneous wattage on a switched circuit - among other GLARING errors. But that's between you and him. What's between me and TK is the gross misrepresentation of our work. That's not acceptable. And he can say WHAT he likes. It's our inalienable right to speak our minds. But NOT so much when you're not prepared to show your name and be accountable. IF Stefan revised rules to ensure this - then I KNOW that there would be some considerable moderation to those statements. And while that may deprive you of entertainment - it would also do MUCH to advance this technology of ours. HIS object is to trivialise this by association to that 'shared' opinion with a NOISY minority. I'll be able to prove this - in the near future. But meanwhile - it does damage.

I also know that TK has invested an awful lot of time on this. He needs to. It's how he earns his living. If you doubt it then check out a thread here on this forum where they explore ways to IDENTIFY the troll. His methods are classic. And there's a whistle blower there who admits to having been 'invited' to 'join the force' so to speak. They're ACTIVE. It's my opinion that our forum owner has this agenda. But that's still to be proved. Hopefully we'll find out later today.

Meanwhile - just for the record - TK's efforts at educating our forum members are somewhat IMPAIRED. Certainly when they're related to those power measurements that he keeps referring to.

Regards,
Rosemary

Wow, I did some research and I'm stunned.

I bet they have secret meetings with secret handshakes. I'd better stop listening to TK anymore, since he's obviously the devil.
I believe you HARD Rosemary Ainslie!

LOL That's a comfort Polinater. I was hoping I could convince you.

Kindest as ever,

Rosemary:

I am going to rebut your misleading, lying, and malicious comments:

The highlighted items in order:

I keep telling and telling you there is no issue with TK's understanding of instantaneous and average power. You are the one that is having the problem. You have made this ridiculous point about 10 times now. When is it going to stop?

You are lying, there is no "gross misrepresentation."

His object is to reveal the truth about the operation of your circuit, nothing more, nothing less.

Nonsensical paranoia. Either you are lying about this for "show" or you are deluded. In the big scheme of things with the "energy cartels and all" you and your project are an unknown and insignificant amoeba.

Bold-faced lie that everyone knows is not true.

You continue to demean and degrade yourself by uttering this kind of nonsense.
