This is what I am trying to convey. I do not want to walk on egg shells, but apparently you would like me to. I will not.

Has civility on ASR declined recently?

What the reduction in civility [effectively everywhere on the internet] points to is the anonymity of online discussions, and the reality that there are few negative repercussions for bad behavior in social networks. The nature of online discussions also leads to many "Little Villages" where concepts well outside of reality are given credence where it's not warranted. This has spread out from online discussions and into the streets.
No-one needs to walk on eggshells. They just need to not be a dick.
I think the gender-neutral version is more appropriate >> "They just need not be an *sshole!"
Either definition works, just don’t commingle them!I think the gender-neutral version is more appropriate >> "They just need not be an *sshole!"
I think a Senator had to resign because of saying "If you think sex is a pain in the *ss, then you are probably doing it wrong!".Either definition works, just don’t commingle them!
His comment was about doing things wrong and had nothing to with anything that should stay in the bedroom.
Woke-ism hadn't existed then, yet!
He/she was an anal sex connoisseur? Woke-ism is largely in the mind of males who still need WAF approval for their audio gear....
It was a pun and joke! No further analysis is necessary, just trying to lighten the mood/vibe.
... and he kinda looks like the pre-incarnation of Nelson Pass in this image
Does anyone know Einstein's views on the second harmonic?
As a violin player, iam sure he loved it.
That proves it then: Nelson Pass is either related or incarnated.
A spiritual body, reincarnated from the many world theorem?
Since @amirm could not have possibly hooked "HIM" up to an AudioPrecision; the FIRST question should be what Einstein's FrequencyResponse was...
It is funny how different people with different attitudes have different results. Some people think AdamG247 is Attila the Hun. Others like myself find him VERY easy to deal with and he is always polite. When asking me to tone it down or watch where I'm heading, he always says "please". You could not ask for a nicer moderator. But, some people get all invested in a post ON THE INTERNET!! They want to have a forum brawl. I would say that will get your 50% of the way to being banned. If people remember it is an internet forum and not brain surgery, no one has died on ASR yet, they would not be so crazy about someone with a different view.
Having said that, everyone who is a regular on here knows I have a short fuse and no patience for snake oil. That will get me riled up, but I try to stay in control. So even me, almost a Mother Theresa has had Adam politely send a message my way before. You know what, it didn't kill me or hurt me in any way and I thanked him for his guidance and moved on. Easy Peasy!
I do really, really enjoy the huge nerd fights that take place at least every other week on a topic. The engineers come out swinging at each other and I grab my popcorn to watch the fur fly. Nothing like a nerd fight! (Joking a little on the Engineers)

We don't know that for a fact because owners of some equipment tested here having no electrical certification who have been electrocuted or burned down their house are silenced. Of course, here it's scientific proof that it has never happened. haha

What about the scientists? Don’t they get to play as well

And there are also scientists-turned-engineers… (I doubt there are successful engineers-turned-scientists out there
)
You certainly don't think that EEs don't do such acts and aren't responsible for burning down houses and whole factories? Shhhhhhhh!
Huh?I doubt there are successful engineers-turned-scientists out there

Adam is IMHO an excellent moderator in all respects - as you say, he's patient and polite. He's also clear and decisive, which helps too.
