And you STILL can't let it go... Maybe you and your colleague and friends who piled in need to accept that every post does not have to be absolutely technically correct and that in this case the intervention was incorrect.

Hi Tony. I think I already said welcome to the forum, but, just in case, I'll say it again, Welcome to the forum. It's really a pleasure to see you here, and your good repute will surely add to the repute of Thunderboat, especially considering us scoundrels that normally frequent this place. You may have arrived at this party a little late. What we have going on here is a Graham having a tantrum. (In all fairness to Graham, he has just had to sell his beloved canal boat because of his age and that probably has him in a bit of a funk.) Anyhoo, Graham started a battery thread and went to some effort to write some pretty good stuff about batteries in simple language he thought would be easy for lay people to understand. Nick came along and corrected, apparently in more technical language and detail, some of the things that Graham had written and Graham took umbrage at what Nick said. Ultimately Graham convinced Delta9 to delete those threads, which in itself caused a kerfuffle because D9 had never done that before and many felt it was a violation of the site ethos. (D9 has since said that that was a one off occurrence and that it would not happen again.) So the thread (along with a couple others from Graham) was deleted, along with all the work both Graham and Nick put into it. Graham seems to feel that he has been wronged, and he doesn't seem to want to let this go. I wish he would just get over his hurt feelings, ask D9 to reinstate those threads, and then realize that education is very often a collaborative effort, and that corrections, edits and addenda don't diminish his original effort, and they certainly don't diminish his original intent, which was to be helpful. I wish Graham would realize he is among friends, and that his time spent here should be good times, not times for consternation and bad feelings. Thank you for the friend bit, it has not felt like it for several days. Perhaps if you started behaving a little less like my two year old grandaughter you might stop pissing people off.....

Gazza, where's that link again? Right here. My 2.5 year old daughter knows the lyrics, I wonder if Graham has the hang of them yet?

Gazza, where's that link again? Can never be wrong lol You know I can but not on that thread I checked and double checked because I knew Norman was around. Was not going to do it at first but thought yes here I can give as good as I get in my own way. Not as on CW the favoured always win no matter what.

Mind you it is nice with cop car sirens can't hear those lol Kettering Borough Council? It's noisy noisy machinery, hommerin and grinding with no ear protection that's done for my pin sharp hearing. Upside is I can't hear Mrs Gazza nagging so much.

So expert why don't you get proactive and write in simple language basic threads just for lay people. No sit and wait until people have problem It's a valid question. However from my experience with CWDF I'd say that nearly everyone can't be bothered to read somewhat abstract and generic text - after all, it's all available on the internet with the briefest of searches. My feeling is that it's generally better for folk to come on here and ask specific questions about their specific circumstance that can be answered in a targeted way (and thus increasing forum traffic, which is a good thing) rather than having a load of generic stuff. Anyway feel free to write your own but expect any errors of fact to be pointed out, and it would be nice if they were graciously accepted.

No that is where the art comes in you have to make it fun and relate it to them and things they can relate it to. They are not looking for pure technical drivel they want something that is not on the net. You can't write them without errors of pure technicality because the aim is not to get over the nitty gritty of a valve or something it is to get over an idea a broad brush picture and they know that is what it is because you tell them at the start a bit I suspect you deliberately ignored. Someone tried to read your so called correction and could not understand it and gave up, yet they read and enjoy the two pages that came before and learnt a little and felt good about themselves and excited about the chance to learn a little about electricity. You and you purist colleagues have taken that away. Remember if as a qualified person I do or publish something that causes damage, injury or death by someone following it it is me that carries the can and end up in court. So you can safely leave my posts alone because I am not going to end up in court. I do not need you to look after me.

Just for the benefit of Gibbo and TB who missed it, quite a bit (most, in fact) of graham's offering was quite good for the target audience. Unfortunately when he came to explain the different phases of charging, Bulk was when the battery was taking the maximum current it could possibly take based on the battery chemistry etc. In other words, in bulk it was the battery that determined the current. In absorption it was ... well not quite sure, it didn't really make sense. Float was OK though. When I tried to summarise the difference between bulk and absorption being that in bulk, current was limited by the charger and in absorption it was limited by the battery. He threw a big strop and decided he would threaten to sue me for something else, demand that I took stuff down from CWDF that I hadn't even posted in some cases, by sending me a takedown notice by PM and threatening to sue me under the defamation act 2013 for summarising what he had said on open forum on here (public domain) in a single line of text on CWDF.
I think he then realised he was looking a bit silly so persuaded D9 to remove the 3 relevant threads to hide the evidence, which was a shame.
