MH's ideal coil and voltage question

[poynt99]

MH,

I sense that you've become jumpy on this matter. I know there have been issues between you two in the past, and perhaps two weeks ago, but I was referring to just the last couple of days. Mags seems to be civil and peaceful so I'm having trouble understanding why you're feeling threatened by him now?

I went and read a few posts on the thread from your link, and while it does appear Mags may have been knowingly taunting you (perhaps the reason for the plethora of faces), I think he may have been trying to make a point, but I'm not certain. Do the guys understand things but pretend they don't just for the sake of argument? Again I don't know, but I sincerely hope that is not the case.

Some things are crystal clear to anyone with a formal electronics education, while it is always not so with those who are electronics hobbyists. I think both parties need to understand and make allowances for this difference in understanding.

Yes, Mags appears to have been going hard on you, but no harder than your criticisms of the tinman at times, and perhaps that is the point Mags was trying to make.

@Mags and MH, for now might I suggest we put that behind us best we can and give peace a chance? Focusing on the technical as much as possible might be a good game plan.

Magluvin cannot seamlessly switch from a civil technical conversation where I was happy to help him understand a way of looking at the cap transfer business, to enjoying harassing me for "sport."

That is simply not going to happen.  Let's see if he is man enough to step up to the plate and state that he is not going to harass me.  Let's see if any of these guys are man enough to admit that they were wrong about the variable voltage source.

Brad got criticism from me and that ended up being a mutual two-way affair and he got disjointed because of it and went haywire.  Brad has been coasting along for years and I made a conscious decision to be straight with him for his own benefit, even though that was a very distasteful thing for him.  That was something that he was not used to.  But Brad will not maliciously and intentionally harass me like Magluvin did for a very long time, and then there was that incident two weeks ago.  I am making it very clear to Magluvin that he does not have license to talk tech in a civil manner and then switch over to being a harassing jackass whenever he pleases.

There is a distinct difference between my dust-up with Brad for his own benefit and being stalked and harassed by Magluvin.  Magluvin's atrocious behaviour was unacceptable in the past and it still is unacceptable now.

How do you know this? Why not give him a chance and see what happens.

Why not just give him the benefit of doubt and see where it goes? He hasn't harassed you in the last couple of pages, so can we not start there? If he or you become unreasonable, then we'll all step in before it gets out of hand. I'm no fan of reading this stuff, and I doubt any others here are either.

Yeah I am no fan of reading it either.  But you know what you or any of the readers would be much less of a fan of?  That would be to be relentlessly and viciously harassed and demeaned and degraded by Magluvin for months and months on end.

The man has a serious problem, let's see if he is man enough to post that he will stop harassing me.
