TBF Ban, one of the weapons in your literary arsenal is the response "Show me where I have...."

Can you explain to watson where he has posted dangerous stuff?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/fuse-in-a-spur.480434 - you advised someone to use the wrong type of fuse. Your advice had to be removed.

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/hi-everyone.481492 - you scoffed at the idea that people should know what they are doing.

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/moving-a-switched-fused-spur-on-kitchen-wall.481589 - you advised inserting a DP breaker into a ring final, claiming that that would "isolate" the circuit.

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/help-2-way-light-switch.481986 - you advised someone who didn't know what they were doing to use trial-and-error guesswork to wire something up.

Not true

- you scoffed at the idea that people should know what they are doing.

I scoffed at your proposition that to replace a light switch, people need a thorough knowledge of electrical installations. And my advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous.

You are lying and you know it. I said to isolate the WHOLE ring. And my advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous.

- you advised someone who didn't know what they were doing to use trial-and-error guesswork to wire something up.

My advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous. Other posters had made dangerous and preposterous solutions.

Why are you so aggressive to new members? What are you afraid of?

Not true

What's not true?

That you told someone to put a BS 646 fuse into a BS 1363 FCU? Or that your advice was later removed?

I scoffed at your proposition that to replace a light switch, people need a thorough knowledge of electrical installations.

I never said that people need a thorough knowledge of every aspect of electrical installations. But whatever the task is, they should genuinely understand everything relating to that. You scoffed at the idea that people should learn and come to genuinely understand.

And my advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous.

Telling people that competence is a laughable concept is always incorrect and always dangerous.

You are lying and you know it. I said to isolate the WHOLE ring. And my advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous.

You said to put a DP isolator into a ring. That will not isolate any part of it. Your advice was totally wrong and very dangerous.

My advice was absolutely correct and never dangerous. Other posters had made dangerous and preposterous solutions.

It is never correct, and it is always dangerous, to encourage people to do electrical work by trial-and-error.

Why are you so aggressive to new members?

I'm not.

What are you afraid of?

Anybody reading some of your advice should be afraid of it.

You're a waste of time and I've no interest in more of your lies.

Not sure why anyone objects to using trial and error, given what we knew about the setup it was a reasonable approach and with no undue risk. In fact Eric Mark also reasonably suggested trial and error 2 posts lower down: "
Test does the non two way light work, if not repeat by swapping with one of the other two wires in com until the non two way light works.

", although he gave a much more detailed explanation of the in and out and suggested doing one gang at a time.

It is never, ever, EVER a reasonable approach.

There are two reasonable approaches.

One is to equip oneself with the knowledge and the tools to properly identify all of the conductors and thus to then know where to put them.

The other is to call an electrician.

You're a waste of time and I've no interest in more of your lies.

Except, of course, it is not a lie that you told someone to put a BS 646 fuse into a BS 1363 FCU and that that advice was later removed.

It is not a lie that you scoffed at the idea that people should learn and come to genuinely understand.

It is not a lie that you said a ring could be isolated with a DP isolator at some point after the CU, nor that that would not isolate any part of it.

It is not a lie that you encouraged someone to do electrical work by trial-and-error.


But anyway - whether you have no more interest in my truthful exposure of your dangerous advice or not, I'm sure it won't be long before you come up with a fresh example.

She did that by asking this forum and following my instructions.

Putting things in large bold text doesn't make them any more true, just makes you look frantic and frustrated.
