Low blow? Hmm.....maybe, but I am human (shocking I know
). Look, DJ has had a sordid past here on the forums for those very same kinds of outbursts. He is also guilty of proliferating misinformation, on several occasions. The blustery boasts and "My dads friend the so and so" things are old now. He's had his second chances, growing room, and his credit has expired. I have for the most part left him alone, or tried to be counsel for him when he's done stupid things.
This forum is for DIYers, and a lot of new blood is here. The last thing the community needs is the new people getting disgusted because they read something that wasn't correct, assumed it was true and wasted money because it didn't work or worse got hurt or damaged something because of it. There are LOADS of stickied threads on the basics of wiring. Lots of build logs and threads from the old guys here detailing and pioneering the constantly changing tech in this hobby. There is a never ending process of learning, even for us. I learn something valuable about this industry everyday. But to scoff at the basics and the fundamentals and then cry foul is wrong, and I won't apologize for calling it out.
