Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it


I'll say it again: let's seek out the gem's and leave the rest, folks. Ignore the trolls, or be selective of the actual content they bring up - should you choose to reply; it may even hold an unexpected, worthwhile observation or two on a subject that could put into perspective our endeavors here.

More importantly, if we want this forum to allow for free speech and a degree of resilience, some around here should reconsider their liberal urge to hit the 'report' button, because that's the thing that truly annoys me and what I'd call the real trolls around here: the one's feeling offended on grounds I imagine to be so relative to their own agenda, indeed petty in nature, that their reporting a post or thread is likely to see no further inquiry by the admins and is therefore, simply by virtue of being a report alone, put into effect as an actual deletion.

We should be able to hold a conversation without someone feeling taken aback over what is, in the bigger scheme of things, insignificant issues. If not it's an ongoing, sad tendency to shut the mouths of those we don't agree with, or for some other flimsy reason don't like.

Freedom of expressing ones opinions/ideas is losing ground The future will be all about censorship and being 100% politically correct.

I say its a good thing to expose the labs which can not produce high quality components. At a  reasoable price and those that can not offer a  full service 5 year warranty, with FREE shipping both ways. 
Here come the mods ready to shut this topic. 
I can hear their foot steps now. 
If you or others insist on the political connotation, well, there’s a case of classic projection.
No, it was not the "political' connotation. 
Denotation of the word, liberal, is by far, most commonly used in the political way.

To wake up and see my post removed for something so petty, and wrong, was off-putting.

All the best,
