I didn't expect that you would post anything on-topic.

I'm not trying to look clever; I'm autistic enough to not care much
what other people think. I just like to talk about electronics. And
I sort of design in public.

Why have an electronics design discussion group where nobody posts
about electronic design? But just post insults?

But you still try to look clever, and don't.

> I just like to talk about electronics. And I sort of design in public.

John Larkin doesn't know what "design" means. He boasts here about stuff he has put together, but he doesn't talk about the - non-existent - design process, and he won't get involved in any discussions about how it could be improved, because he imagines that he has achieved perfection and any suggestion that he hasn't is perceived as a "tedious droning insult".

> Why have an electronics design discussion group where nobody posts about electronic design? But just post insults?

Since John Larkin doesn't do electronic design, he doesn't recognise what does get posted about the process.

The insults are the mechanism that gets the attention of people who think they are posting about design when they don't know what they are talking about.

They have to be pointed enough to get the attention of complacent people who are perfectly (but incorrectly) confident that they know what they are talking about. Getting windbags and bores to shut up takes fairly heavy-handed responses - if you are wedded to the idea that you know what you are talking about it takes a ferocious response to get you attention. Windbags and bores have been carrying on like that for most of their lives. If they could pick up subtle signals they'd have changed their behaviour years ago.

In case you hadn't noticed, this entire thread is off topic and bugger
all to do with electronics.

Then why did you cross-post to an off-topic thread?

>

>about electronic design? But just post insults?

It was your choice to cross-post to other groups including uk.d-i-y
(the group I posted to) with your irrelevant point about designing
electronics.

I've already explained about your misplaced use of the word insult.

You were politely invited to fuck off. Now do as you were told.

Except you've never made an-topic contribution to uk.d-i-y either.

The very definition of a troll.

Do try to look a bit less silly.

People who post off topic rubbish, this thread for example, should
expect responses from literally anyone.

No irrelevant rite of passage to contribute required.

Not just you, I see all the book banning and the fear of Taylor Swift.
it is exactly as you describe.

Usually you can tell by the red caps they wear.
