How do you propose that regulars give visitors to the site advice about how to do a job?

By teaching them what they need to know to do the job competently, and by telling them what they should be aware of regarding regulatory and legal requirements.

I realise unfortunately you're never going to understand what the problem is, I'm just trying to work out whether there's a general appetite and possibility of getting out of this embarrassing cycle or not. Personally I'd love to be able to welcome new members to the forum, but judging by other sections of the site eg plumbing, the Admin don't worry too much about the manner of the forums?

There would not be an 'embarrassing cycle' if people did not insist on prolonging that 'embarrassing cycle'.

Rebuke once if you want to and leave it at that.


I much prefer this forum to others where posts are preceded by the ramblings of the Wordy Wizard -
"If you don't mind and I may be wrong but if I might be allowed to say with no disrespect to anyone but ...etc."

How do you propose dealing with the situation where someone gives advice which is wrong?

I understand fully what the problem is.

It is that people write things which are wrong, and then when I point out that they are wrong I am criticised.

And then you (over-)react to the criticism, which starts the criticisers off again, and you react again, and the thread goes into meltdown.

It takes two to tango.

I'm not bothered on my own account as I've got a thick skin, I'm bothered about new members not feeling welcome. However seems there's no real desire to change anything here so I'll leave this topic as it is. Cheers all

He also decided to start arguing about what they mean by "new circuit" and how therefore when someone says "I'm installing a new circuit" they are not installing a new circuit.

You might get more sympathy if you didn't post outright lies like that one

Indeed it does, but that is never taken into account when..

Yes, I react.

Funny that, isn't it, that when Bernard starts an argument with me, or Simon starts an argument with me, or John starts an argument with me, that I react when it is only I who gets criticised for the topic filling up with arguments.

Well that's very reassuring !

Except it's not a lie.

In as large a font as would fit I highlighted that the OP said that he was installing a new circuit, and then you started twisting and turning and "interpreting" trying to make out that it wasn't a new circuit.

 

[SimonH2]

Except that the OP did not say what you say he said. You are making the sort of error that you are very ready to slag off others for.
Not that I expect you to stop digging ...

It is.

I guess that if you'd like to try to argue that people don't say "ring main" when they mean what is properly called a "ring final circuit", you might make that claim.

Sadly for you, though, there would not be a scrap of truth in the suggestion that when TOMITS says "ring main" when talking about a socket circuit in his house he is not referring to a ring final circuit.

And for the record, neither you nor anybody else will ever scare me into not challenging total b*ll*cks like you have just written by pre-emptively trying to dismiss it as "digging".

Hello i need to run a new kitchen socket circuit which is on a 32 amp MCB.

It truly beggars belief that you think you can get away with claiming otherwise.
