There is something that has evolved here on Free Republic Topics. There are many good topics started here but because of the inability to stay on the subject started, the debates get steered into the ditch. I derrive the majority of my news saavy off of this forum. This is very disconcerting for me in this respect and I always "Try" to stay focused on what is being discussed but it is very difficult to do.
I don't know if it is done intentionally and I know there are disruptive people who enjoy creating chaos and dis- unity. This forum being what it is and what it does, for large numbers of people out here in the ozone, makes it vitally important that we get better communication and exchange of ideas.
I hope that you will attempt to do this but not at the expense of spirited debate. As I said much of what I know comes from this and other similiar forums. I am not the sharpest tack in the box so I need all the help I can get to stay up and informed!
This topic was headed for the ditch before it even got started.
Hey Dave, you're an alright guy. :)
hole_n_one had me laughing right off the bat.
dc or ac? I've been around, a while.
Last I heard there was no official forum position dictating that people cannot vary from the topic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the goal here, is to establish a congenial environment for discussion. So long as people are here to to discuss, more-or-less rationally, why restrict them?
Dave, you really need to lighten up. :-)
Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!
Direct current flows from negative to positive and that's it.
Alternating current reverses polarity or direction 60 times per second. Thus house current is 120 volts AC 60Hz (cycles per second).
Class dismissed and don't forget to read chapters 3 and 4 in your Gruyere cheese recipe books! There will be a test tomorrow.
As you enter the door of your beatiful home, you proudly announce, "Honey, I am Home!" to which your wifes jumps up with a mud pack upon her face while still gabbing on the telephone with "GOD KNOWS WHO AGAIN." And then she says, "I have a headache."
It's a similar scenario on FR ..... all your have to do is catch everyone at the right time!
If you try to engage Ash (AshRedux, Ashlives, Ashisalive, Ashisaliar, ect) in debate, you will waste enormous bandwith and get nowhere. When he cannot refute you through misdirection or other obfuscation, he will hide from you. You will find yourself stuck like the Tar Baby in stories of old.He has been banned many times.
He will, when ignored, strike out.
He has shown contempt for the owner of and posters to of this forum by returning under new names time and again,
He is, IMHO, a disruptor and a distractor.
The BEST policy (based on much advice, that I unfortunately ignored one week) is to act as if he IS NOT HERE.
Even when he responds, he is here as an unwanted - and in fact banned - intruder.
Posting responses to him encourages him and others to break in and disrupt the forum, please think twice before doing so.
