As part of solution , which will not involve me (at this time ..as I have no builder board here)
Stefan is pondering a meeting for builders to attend for input on mirror topics!
And forum etiquette as it applies to this valuable resource!

only an opinion on "mirror topics" ...
Give it more time, for the kinks to appear / settle out ?

Ok
I see this has gotten confusing
To recap
4 separate times presenter removed off topic content ( unrelated to his phase change research)
3 of those times were your long contribution here ( over the course of an hour ??)
He had asked to have dialogue through pm,s ( posted this request in the public forum...which did not happen )
Then out of frustration he had to lock his topic!

And You took this path posting info unrelated to his work
Using his name and topic!

Which I did explain to you in unanswered email yesterday morning ... work was about phase change
Research into water fuel and other ( you did answer today with no comment)

This is horrible example to builders
One thing to start a similar build topic and show reasoning ?
Quite Another to post this off topic info in his name !

Sorry our opinions vary
I always try to treat others as I would expect to be treated
Ignoring a presenters request ( yes you did send Tom "mine and your" private correspondence)

And starting a topic with unrelated work ( no experiments of any kind of your own )

Nonsense!!
Your example leaves door wide open to chase off builders!!
Many would never bother ( happening here for years now , entire venues have evolved elsewhere do to this issue)
Solution:
A moderated builders board is the solution!!( Stefan started this offer to builders a few years back)
Respect to that process imperative!

Not just one builders opinion!

@ Ramset

Please read this again.

To be clear...

My post / topic (right here) @
https://overunity.com/19102/re-vapor-carburetor-series-by-tommy-reed-t-r-labs/msg566442/#msg566442

Was first posted @
https://overunity.com/19101/vapor-carburetor-series/msg566429/#msg566429

It was deleted while I was editing it / post editing it.
I wasn't even / at first aware that my post was removed.
Then, I thought it was some tech. mistake on my part / bad key stroke ?
I re posted it and went to edited it more.
It was deleted again.
It seems that one cannot edit a post that no longer exists.

an edit as an addendum

While one is editing ones own post, one cannot see any posts except the post
which was just prior to their own post (before the edit begins).

But one can continue to edit their post
even when it has been deleted by
a moderator !

any post made while one is editing, cannot be seen by the person editing
their post, until he posts that edited version.

Then..
The topic was locked.

Realizing it was being deleted I posted it outside of that topic that is all.

Which is totally, the appropriate thing to do.

"Each board can also have many different Threads, but the Builder will also be the moderator in all these Threads of his board...so remember this. He has the power then to delete messages he does not like. If you want to criticize him in any aspect or find an error in his work, you should be friendly and let him know. If he does not like your critics and deletes it, you can only save your posting and then post it again into another board, where the builder has no moderator rights and discuss it over there. this case I can not retrieve your critics postings, as it was already deleted, so better save your postings on your own hard disk, before you post it to the forum for later retrieval...
But I hope this will be all going in a good and friendly manner and people will not fall out over each other and don´t start name calling and flame wars. "
AND
I stand by it, and a moderator's freedom to delete my posts in his own topics.

Have you read this ? https://overunity.com/19102/re-vapor-carburetor-series-by-tommy-reed-t-r-labs/msg566468/#new

The topic is NOT about Tommy Reed.
I don't know Tommy read, I have no experience of him other than having just watched
his recent videos, and I have not created a topic about him.

I posted a response to a video.
I titled it as such (the name of the topic and the name of the BOARD it is a response to),
that is all and that was and is all it is intended to be.

Why does anyone have a problem with that ?

It is not a "fight" on my part, just a / the posting of a relevant response to a particular
statement in a particular video.
Who ever is projecting something that isn't there on my part,
well, that's just their projection !

Refrencing that topic and name of the board, not "Using his name and topic!", and
I'm not just splitting hairs here. My post (there) was very much so related to that topic.

an edit as an addendum
( yes you did send Tom "mine and your" private correspondence)
? Are you saying that I forwarded a PM to Tom ?

an edit as an addendum
I believe you posted one of those unrelated ( to phase change research) vids here too ?"

I did not post a video to Tom's topic.

I posted this (below) on this topic.

Sorry
Getting late here much to do !

I have been asking open source builders for input

Many more to call
If we are to grow this open source builder community!
We should nurture not torture!!

I have seen one off topic post open floodgate of abuse here these last 15 years
Burying topics in unrelated noise ( from builders perspective)

Have a good night
