Re: Kitchen unit lights, for ericmark

So what is the point of the thread?

It's not my choice to have to keep starting new ones.

So what is the point of the thread?

Seemingly a wish on his part to be locked out of as many threads as possible!

Not at all - I have no wish to be locked out of any threads - it is Mods who want to do that.

As for this:

I didn't abuse anybody.

 

[sparkwright]

I didn't see it. What did you write?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

I used a term which means a person regarded as stupid or obnoxious. A term which you will find in several hundred posts on this site, and in a sentence which was not in reply to, or quoting, or mentioning, any particular person.

 

[securespark]

You do often resort to such terms.

When I found the original post, my thoughts were if you want to use what you already have then buy the parts that allow you to do that. If I want to pedal a two wheeled vehicle I buy a bike not a scooter.

Using a cheap kit can on times work out well, you can replace the wall mart integrated plug and voltage dropper for one where the plug and voltage dropper are independent, however since no voltage was given this was hard to advise on.

A google for 3 down lights kit did find the picture. So now I know it was a "Power Adapter (output 12V, 0.7A with ON/OFF button)" so to replace would need one of these plus a switch so that adds £5.88 to the original £15.99 the GX53

costs around £19.95 each so there is a saving converting a kit.

However having had a 5 foot LED tube fail after just 2 years when 18 months of that time the house was not occupied I would much prefer a light which when it fails I can simply remove the bayonet lamp and replace rather than have to replace the whole lamp.

Had the original post linked to the advert I am sure they would have got this advise. However we were not given the information required without doing google hunts for the picture.

However the start of a new thread is not helpful, as I had not a clue what a Don03 was.

You do often resort to such terms.

A quick search reveals that it is a word you've used quite a few times.

 

[securespark]

If the word is idiot, it's ban 194, secure 15.

If the word begins tw, it's once for me.

If the word begins cu, I have not been able to find any examples.

Indeed not, other than to BAS. By virtue of his own actions, he was left with no other option if he wished to 'contribute' further to the discussion.

Kind Regards, John

... I also suspect that if one takes context into account, the figures are probably even more in your favour.

As a search would show, I certainly sometimes use the word "idiot" in posts, but usually in a general/hypothetical context (e.g. "only an idiot would dream of doing XYZ"). However, I think you would struggle to find instances of my having explicitly accused (and probably rarely, if ever, even implicitly accused) a particular forum member of being an idiot. I suspect that the same may well be true of you.

Kind Regards, John

It's more than once, but that's not the point.

On my search, I only found 1.
Please enlighten me!
What is the point?

The point is that it is a word which you and many other people use, and have used on this forum.

I did not say directly to anybody "you are a t**t".

I did not say indirectly that anybody was a t**t.

The point is that the moderator who wrote "abuse removed" and used it as a justification for locking me out of the topic was being disingenuous and unjustified.

So no, John, I was not locked out "by virtue of my own actions", I was locked out by virtue of mendacious "moderation".

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Lovely.

Now they've added this:

which could easily lead people to think that I posted, or was involved with, "three abusive and argumentative posts on the same day".
