Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!


Turns out we have exceptionally high solar activity right now, with a category 4 solar flair expected to impact the planet, potentially affecting satellite communications, electronics and power grids.

Of course, if history is any guide the news is absolutely over excited over this, at best those in the northern states may see pretty lights at night.  I was particularly amused this afternoon at a CNN weather person recommending you unplug your dryer just to be safe.  I mean, is that really the most important appliance in his house?  🤣

Also, kind of off topic, if you have binoculars or a telescope with the right solar filters you can catch a glimpse of the dark spots on the sun associated with this CME.  Amazing to imagine that it is about 15-16x wider than the earth.

I thank the audiogon administrator for his quick response...

But i think i had been misunderstood...

 

I dont need a "block" button any more than the victim in an agression need a "block " button...

The agressor is the guilty party who must be informed by audiogon authority that a red line has been crossed here ..

I can read any poster in the public forum or dont read him , or i can anwser rationally to his posts and i always did as anyone here can do ...

We are adults we can discuss even in a "hot" exhange ...

It is only necessary to respect character and avoid character attack...

But even when many people attack a character in public here, as myself or any others , there is no problem i can defend myself with answers.I did it here .

But there is a RED LINE ,

Our private mail box is not a public domain it is our intimate territory...

Then if someone email us uninvited with REPEATED insults, we are no more free to read or not to read it because it is a private mail, not a public post.

Then this constitute harassment and trolling it is a red line in my book and if i remember in the Audiogon rules..

i dont want a " block" button , the victim of harassment dont take the blame here with a button; Laoman must be prevent to do so in the future by administrator of audiogon and be informed officially that this is unacceptable ...

To take an extreme exemple , if i wrote two emails of insult to a member here or to an audiogon administrator, will we ask the victims to use a "block" button ?

 

i ask for respect of minimal civility rules...

There is a difference between a public space and a private email section ...

Harassment cannot be accepted ...Or it is jungle law...

Thanks for your time reading my post...

 

Hey, @grislybutter  ,  that was a genuine question.  @asvjerry  seems to feel that:

Welcome to a Public Forum.
No Cover~No Minimum/Maximum

Don't like?

Don't remain.

and I just want to find out whether or not he feels that ALL non-audio points of view and statements associated to those points of view should be expressed here on whatever whim one may feel at the time.  I have had posts deleted by @Admin for a lot less than the post that derailed this thread, but hey, if it's all fair game now, I have some other opinions that I might like to get off of my chest.
