Apology number two.


wn4isx
 

Given my off topic thread won't die, it's clear I'm not up to be a moderator on this group.

?

Meaning well isn't enough in life and I demonstrated an atrocious failure in judgment by starting the eterna-thread, a failure of judgment that demonstrates I'm not suited to be a moderator.

?

I hope the remaining moderators can continue to act as weed killers and kill each and every post regarding MJ growhouses.

?

I've enjoyed being a member of this group, learned a lot, I'd like to thank Martin for confirming a goniometer is less then optimal for electronically steering the aim point of two cross phased loops and I'd like to thank Everett N4CY for offering high performance loop at an extremely reasonable price.

?

This would turn into something the length of War and Peace if I tried to thank everyone who has helped me understand the subtleties of loop antennas, so a bit thank you to the entire group.

?

?

I've learned more about loops in the few years I was a member of the Loop Antennas IO Group, but I believe it is time for me to leave the group.

?

Good luck to group members and, to those offended by my eterna-post, I'm sorry. Accepting responsibility means accepting rational outcomes.


 

Hi Terrence,
?
It's your choice, but don't feel too bad, some folks are just too sensitive about stuff that they consider to be off-topic, or may occasionally be misjudged.
?
It's just human nature, and I've inadvertently offended folks when that was not my intention. I like to push boundaries, test theories, and stop myths being propagated ad infinitum. As a result, I've been banned from many forums for not towing the party line, or supporting the other fanboys.
?
Social media has allowed tribes to coalesce, without their beliefs being challenged, this is dangerous and does not promote rational discussion. I also like threads that occasionally drift off-topic, as sometimes you learn new things, or view existing stuff from a different perspective.
?
The world would be very boring if we all conformed to an "acceptable" template, we need a mix of voices and experiences to remain a (almost) balanced society.
?
I wish you well in your endeavours.
?
Regards,
?
Martin

Hi,
Please don't leave this group. I think others are overreacting to your
initial post. Don't feel to bad about it.

Don't know why anyone made such a fuss over your initial post. RFI is an issue most of us face, no apology needed. Can't have any deviation from the same recycled subjects and seller promotions I guess.

Now I'm gonna have to go back and see what happened. I just glossed at the subject line, because, MJ, RFI, loops... Yeah, 1:1:1, and hand-in-hand. Thought noting at all about it, planned to catch up later, see if there has been any major advancements, like someone starting to think about maybe doing something before the next big bang.

Having chased RFI for decades, RFI, loop antennas, and the MAJOR issue with growing sites, how they are identified, and the extreme involvement of the ARRL, FCC, and local law enforcement makes MJ pretty much synonymous with RFI, and the equipment to locate it, or, not prevent it, but allow one to still function to an extent when in the presence of it- loop antennas.

Almost equally bad, if not more so, as it's rapidly overtaking growers for complete obliteration of anything RF related, solar.

Add me to the list of those who hope you'll stay.? A portion of that particular post may have wandered a bit into the realm of "unusual", but certainly nothing that was out-of-bounds or requiring an apology.


 

no apology needed except- many don't live in the U/SA and did not have a clue what MJ and growers meant.? I thought at first that you meant something to do with MFJ radio stuff.

I don't think I've ever been in a group where some of the discussions go off topic, nothing wrong in that, it adds to the interest of the group.
You have nothing to apologise for for and your posts add a great deal the the group as a whole, I would urge you to stay for of our benefits.
