I started a thread over on the hut, entitled "Steve Clarke has judged you all", in their "cosmic hypocrite" thread.
I started it partly to poke fun at the forum subsection that it was in, and partly to poke fun at myself, because I believe that I have been a bit judgemental in the past.
When I went over there, (I was asked by Mikado himself, in order to discuss some technical matters is my recollection) I wanted to try and be as lighthearted as possible and bring a bit of levity to the party.
I'm frankly very tired of malice, and mean spiritedness, I keep finding it in myself, and in others, and when life allows me the spare capacity I try and fight it with humour.
I'll tell you straight, holding up my end of the conversation in that thread, has been like driving a larger car with "Federal" brand tyres, and play in the steering ball joints. Exactly like it.

I am not too sure how to take this fruitbat. I have considered that I have been most accommodating to you and giving you as much leeway as possible. The manner in which your post reads could imply that I have treated you with malice. I am asking you to please show where I have treated you with malice. I cannot think of one post I made directed at you that would have been malicious. I can't think of one post that was mean spirited at you.
However, if you are referring to your little tet-a-tet with kevin than you should state it as such.
Now I would like to address your comment about coming here to discuss technical matters. You are correct until you made this statement in your very first post:

Thank you very much Mikado.
Plenty of food for thought. I'm not sure what you were referring to when you describe capacitors as being "rolled". Most of the ones I have seen have been of the plate type.
As for a lifter lifting eventually being capable it's own PSU, it's a dead cert, whether it will be worth the effort of doing it, is a separate question...
Obviously if you are still minded to send me that PM you now have the capability, but bear in mind my concerns are not entirely selfish, and if you communicate anything I believe is in the public interest to share, that is my policy. Unlike most people I don't want to be a "keeper of the secrets".
I hope, I'll be able to contribute something good to your forum whilst I am here. Unfortunately, although I am not much better than anyone else at being "nice", that's what I will be aiming for. You and I it appears have a number of character traits in common, it will be interesting to see if we can put them to better use.
Fruitbat.
I have highlighted the pertinent part.
We did have some PM exchanges around the 20th of May. I sent that out of concern for your safety in that you were discussing certain conditions of your lifter and I wanted to give you a warning for I knew that you wouldn't get it from anyone at the Token. Was I wrong in caring about your safety?
Secondly, if there was going to be an information exchange between us, you pretty much killed it before it started with the statement -
"and if you communicate anything I believe is in the public interest to share, that is my policy. Unlike most people I don't want to be a "keeper of the secrets"..
So if I communicated information to help you or to answer some questions you had and it was confidential but you decided it was best put out into the public...just who the hell do you think you are to make that judgemental decision of confidential information I share with you? Are you saying that you cannot be trusted? Do you know who else breaks confidences on a whimsical judgement that befits an ever changing agenda as to a persons standing at any given moment?
And that is why there was no more exchange of information. That is why there were no more PM's. Is the lack of further PM's the malice you speak of? I would really like to know if I mistreated you in any manner for I do not see it. I would bet that from what I saw on the link kevin posted, someone is giving Linda copies of posts here but with no citations (link backs). That is a copyright violation if you are doing so, think about it and look in the mirror for you are part of the problem in feeding her behaviour.
If I am wrong in anything I said here then I will openly apologize. Let us look at one more thing. You claim you started a thread to be humourous. A thread that was passing judgement on others. I fail to see the humour. Point to one serious discussion that you have partaken in where you didn't end up becoming bellicose.
In your initial post you claimed that we had some shared character traits. Please point them out.
Mikado
