Edison electrocuted an adult elephant, publicly, to alliterate the dangers of AC electric transmission(Tesla) and his arguments against it.this has gone a little too far.
Hopefully we can stop short of that.

Edison didn't stop with Topsy's demise.
He facilitated the first execution of a human being by electric chair.
FWIW there is the original film of Topsy's killing available on You Tube.

I had heard about that but had never seen the video until now. Its pretty sick. It is part of history though

Question Super Moderator,
Were you addressing this to mah, who initiated this nasty post, or to me, who responded / defended myself??
It is not clear.
I agree with your sentiment by the way. But one must be careful to allow new ideas to be expressed.

AB, I am happy to unconditionally abide by your request.
You may recall that, some years ago, the lack of published posting rules for this forum was raised and Todd gave a commitment that this would be rectified.
The Audio Asylum rules could be used as a reference to get posting rules happening here.

Jeff, Why do you say you were attacked?

Because I am bleeding still. I report something new and unusual, potentially beneficial, and people jump down my throat, as though I was lying !! Come on guys, I got SAVED last year !!
mah - your POST #9 :
Jeff, What an inane retort.
With regard to electronics you may be mrlowcred but you excel in your Gyro Gearloose / Foghorn Leghorn imitation.
Phil-G - said it well, POST #10 :
this has gone a little too far. jeff may be some eccentric in his observations and may benefit from double blind testing. but mah you brought this topic from another thread. with the sole purpose highlighting this. and to stir the pot.
having a disagreement is one thing, but this forum should not be a boxing ring.

This reminds me in certain ways of Matthew 7.6 : See it here :

I certainly am not perfect, but " my goodness " from some.
Clear enough ?? That is how I feel sometimes.
By the way, I have been involved in audio, with some of the very best of them, and design directly heated triode tube amps BY EAR, for 64 and 34 years respectively , and I still can do fine A-B testing !! :-)

Jeff,
Re the electronics comment, it was well sourced if poorly phrased.

The minutae post ,I believe, contained a reasonable question. I am not involved in, or responsible for, the content of that AA thread.
Re denigrating and insulting others, you should re-read your own posts on this forum and on many other forums. You regularly dish it out with no consideration to the feelings and reputations of others. That can be legally risky.
I am sorry that you are upset but you do bring this sort of thing down upon yourself.
I've had a gutful of you insulting me. If you did this to me on the Audio Asylum forum I would use their rules to stop you.
The religious quotes are way out of order.
AB, PM me before any further actions. I am VERY serious about this matter.
