Joule Thief 101

[Magluvin]

Like it or not, if Brad is having a meltdown because he is being given the straight goods, then he needs to have an un-meltdown soon.  Brad is going overboard and almost insane when trying to discuss things with me, and if you can't show some reasonable semblance of balance then it's all a joke and a farce.

Take the example of Brad insisting that you had to account for whether or not a car was on a hill to determine it's top speed.  Who here commented that that made no sense?  Not a single one of you.

Brad said this in posting #1987:  "It is also funny how you have used the term!compressed spring!,where a spring has very little stiffness,but a high value of elasticity--something to think about"

I asked if anybody wanted to correct him with respect to that statement and not a single one of you said anything.  Not a single one of you!

If any of you showed some balance and were willing to tell Brad when he was making incorrect, crazy or ridiculous statements beyond just myself and Minnie and occasionally Poynt, then perhaps he would not be in meltdown mode.  He is obsessively and compulsively telling me I am wrong and impugning my character and none of you have anything to say about it.  You are giving him free reign to run wild and go nearly nuts and saying nothing.

And so Brad got some push-back from me, and he had to get a lot more from me because almost none of you would step in and tell him when he was dead wrong and/or out of control.  I must have gone through a dozen or more completely out-of-kilter debates with Brad where he stuck to some ridiculous notion.  Like when he insisted that a Joule Thief was an RLC circuit when there isn't even a capacitor in the schematic.

I told Brad that I would state the truth as I see it on this thread only and I would not touch any of the development threads that he and Magluvin are on, but I would stand my ground for what is right on this thread.  And Brad keeps coming back to this thread and arguing stuff that is sometimes foolish and crazy.  I told him I would not fight over the definition of impedance with him, he could take that battle somewhere else.

There are two sides to this ridiculous drama and I am only hearing one side.  I don't even want the drama, why is Brad arguing with me about his new little transformer experiment?  There is a dedicated thread for that.  He can say whatever he wants to say on the build thread and I probably won't even read it.

" but I would stand my ground for what is right on this thread."

But the problem with that is you 'presume' things as fact until you know otherwise. Like the wine glass. You didnt know much while arguing about it till you said you took some time and came up with a theory and confirmed it in some link. Or all the crap you gave brad about the ice until many many days later you concede. Well isnt that what you beat on people here for, is that you believe their are presuming things in their 'claims' and really not knowing it at all? And calling them names and insulting them because of it? Hypocrisy at its best.

No, I understood how a wine glass resonates the whole time, it's just a bloody mechanical LC resonator, nothing could be simpler.  I have an engineering background, remember?  What was tough was finding confirmation online in case anybody wanted it.

You must have called me an "idiot" between 300 and 500 times.  And you clearly enjoyed it.

I admitted that I was wrong about the ICE.  I did not "beat Brad into submission" about the ICE, that's ridiculous.  Point finale.  You haven't seen Brad badgering me?

I guess that you don't listen to the news.  The guy was a serial s** offender with underage children.

So now you have become unglued?  What kind of ridiculous point are you trying to make here?

You damn well know it, you harassed and demeaned and degraded me for a FULL YEAR and you enjoyed it.  Your partner in crime was Synchro1 and both of you were disgusting in your behaviour.

Take a look at the attached image.  That was your tag-team buddy in action.

"I admitted that I was wrong about the ICE.  I did not "beat Brad into submission" about the ICE, that's ridiculous.  Point finale.  You haven't seen Brad badgering me?"

Ok. And How long did you argue out of ignorance before that? Shall I go pand grab the tasty nuggets from that time period of you insulting Brad over something you were wrong about???  Oh. I admitted I was wrong. Thats it.     Yeah. Move on everyone, thats it.


"I guess that you don't listen to the news.  The guy was a serial s** offender with underage children."

Nope. Not a particular thing I choose to read frankly. I have much better things to do with my time. Even writing this is better than reading that... But to each his own. Be my guest.


"So now you have become unglued?  What kind of ridiculous point are you trying to make here?"

Naturally in your quote of me there something is screwed up. Here, let me repost it undistorted for you.....

"Oh. So now YOU KNOW for sure the guy in the picture is a, what? A Serial  offender? And you can show evidence of this?Is what you are stating here ACTUAL FACT?   Or is it the fiction machine you have in that balloon on your shoulders???    DO IT! I DEMAND THAT YOU PROVE YOUR STATEMENT AS FACT!!!   lol  Ya cant. You presumed. A word you frequent with. You have imagination! And it shows quite often. "



"You damn well know it, you harassed and demeaned and degraded me for a FULL YEAR and you enjoyed it.  Your partner in crime was Synchro1 and both of you were disgusting in your behaviour."

And I beat you good too. You deserved it. I was in lockup for some time for beating you to a pulp. lol


"Take a look at the attached image.  That was your tag-team buddy in action."

Lol. Yeah. Take a look at that folks.  Yeah. Thats not even my post and you put it up as if I had anything to do with writing those words. Your the one thats loosing it bud. Clearly.

Really?

Magluvin:

Motorcycle dude crossed a line.

Brad has been going almost nuts and his behaviour is as bad or worse than mine.  98% of the time when he claims that I am wrong, he is wrong.  98% of the time when I claim that he is wrong, I am right.

Oh. So now YOU KNOW for sure the guy in the picture is a, what? A Serial  offender? And you can show evidence of this?Is what you are stating here ACTUAL FACT?   Or is it the fiction machine you have in that balloon on your shoulders???    DO IT! I DEMAND THAT YOU PROVE YOUR STATEMENT AS FACT!!!   lol  Ya cant. You presumed. A word you frequent with. You have imagination! And it shows quite often.

Punch the guy's name into Google and you will feel like an ignorant fool for that silly rant.

And I beat you good too. (http://overunity.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif) You deserved it. I was in lockup for some time for beating you to a pulp. lol

You were absolutely disgusting and you never had the character to apologize for it.  It's a black stain on your character.

Lol. Yeah. Take a look at that folks.  Yeah. Thats not even my post and you put it up as if I had anything to do with writing those words. Your the one thats loosing it bud. Clearly.

You tag-teamed with him for a full year and both of you were over the top.  It was truly awful.  If you want to gloat over your awful behaviour, go ahead.

Really.
