You wrote in your post on 2015-07-22, 4:22 pm as follows:
"As for you, James, if you weren't such a delicate flower and have to put people on an ignore list to calm your shattered nerves, I could tell you that Grimer didn't say what you accuse him of saying... that was text that I wrote way back then that got pasted in when he posted his recent message."
Those three you had just composed and I used them clearly in the context of your having just proffered them.
Ed, 'no comment' on your latest frilly silliness. (Gee's, sounds like Bill, don't it?)
I'm outa here!
J.C. can handle all the rest.

Glad you got the joke!
jim_mich wrote:But seriously, Stew, I often mix up my 't' and 'd'. Maybe its part of the way my brain is wired. There are other letters and words that I screw up. I almost always type becasuse insteat of because. (Note that I just typed insteat wrong.) Again, a 't' where there should be a 'd'. Sometomes its the other way around. (Here I typed Sometomes instead of Sometimes.) I swapped the 'i' for an 'o'
So am I to be labeled as ignorant because I'm a really bad typist? I think my backspace key is going to be the first key to die on mey old keybord (Oops, I see I wrongly typed my as mey, and keyboard as keybord.)
Jim, we all make mistakes - I'm really not that bothered about the name thing. Several other forum members have also repeatedly spelt my name as "Steward" so you're not alone there! And before you chastise me, "spelt" is spelled correctly. ;-)
jim_mich wrote:And for my mild spelling infraction of your name, I was (wrongly) accused as the reason for you leaving. (see previous post)
Really? - I didn't wade though all the posts at those links, but I didn't see where anyone was saying I left because you spelt my name wrongly. Anyway, don't sweat it.
Yes James, that was then, and how would I know I wasn't still on your ignore list? You could have just said so, instead of making out like you never used the ignore list and had no idea what I was talking about.

No, they outright claimed that I drove you from the forum.
From that list that I posted...

It is totally fair to find support in an unbiased translation for one's personal theory but it is totally unacceptable to translate for others based on one's personal bias. This is why Stewart is so upset and why his translations are so valuable!
We just lost a highly qualified and unbiased translator Stewart because one forum member couldn't wait for him to find time in his schedule and started making totally unqualified translations from Old German that would then support his particular viewpoint. This completely enraged Stewart so much that he left the forum. So it gets pretty hot and heavy in here!
And he does the same thing with translations. Stewart became enraged that JM bypassed him and started doing his own translations. Now JM is
doing it again, bypassing Ricky.
We witnessed the same behavior pattern in the supposed "debate" with Stewart where we observed a total and unwavering intolerance of other viewpoints than his own in spite of having no knowledge of Old German and the syntax, context and usage of the common words of that period.
Ricki, these attempts by JM to change translations like this are exactly why Stewart became enraged and left the forum. JM would not listen to Stewart's views and then bypassed him.
JM personally has done more damage to the forum by driving away Stewart making unqualified biased translations than all of Jim's favorite trolls combined.
And of course Jim's twisting Bessler's words to change the meaning is so out of character for him. Stewart would never stoop to translation by pressure to choose the least likely meaning and neither will Ricki!
And if you plan on bypassing Stewart and Ricki in the future with your own "creative" Bessler translations, a couple years of German wouldn't hurt either.
Can we have Stewart back now?
If JM feels the official translations are in error, he should request a new one
from Stewart. A 10 second Google translation proves nothing.
Hey, I didn't chase Stewart away. So cloud camper's claim that I was the reason for Stewart leaving was an out-right lie, made only for to torment and bully me.
That is the plain truth that can't be denied.
You and others piled right in with cloud camper. It was obvious that your thinking about me changed when I tried to explain that I thought Bessler's wheel was a motion-wheel rather than a gravity-wheel. It was like I'd developed leprosy all of a sudden.
Yes James, that was then, and how would I know I wasn't still on your ignore list? You could have just said so, instead of making out like you never used the ignore list and had no idea what I was talking about.
This is not exactly the moving on I had in mind.
Oh well... more booze for James!
Moving on...
Not quite.
Really, truly I've no idea of just what bug you have now taken up your likely-beckoning posterior orifice.
The only thing I can possibly fathom as to 'why' all your fussing over this matter, is that somehow, for
some very, very strange reason, it is IMPORTANT to you to know that I am not ignoring you!
What the f--k?
Obviously within you, this or whatever it might be truly possess great energy of some variety or other
but, it is meaningless to me.
Now, if so actually as I have just outlined theoretically, would that not be allowing me way to much importance in your seemingly sad, vapid existence?
Ovyyus does not ignore you; we know that. Isn't that enough? He possesses a powerful but very slim,
fleeting presence. Such an association (which goes way back, I know) should be well-enough a thing
to satisfy - being a loyal and faithful Ally In Destruction, of such a one as he.
This depth of offensive petty nastiness, I think, has been more than adequately plumbed.
If you insist that it go forward still, then I WILL push 'IGNORE,' once again.
This last effort should produce positive results pro- a necessary cessation.
Let it.

Well, thanks very much Jim, aka jim_mich, for the splendid and greatly appreciated 'thumbs-up'.

I think I can see a way to build a Robot KiiKing Rider using essential the same principle as the EGNG motor. If it proves sound it will provide a very simple Point of Principle and even continuous motion from the NG<->EG interaction.
Moreover, it will be well within the building capabilities of a competent garage mechanic, an important feature since PM needs to be replicated by many independent builders for it to be believed more widely.
I'll go and prepare some diagrams.
Ed has taken me to task for digging up an old thread. The reason I did it was because I knew that JC was interested in the possibility of a KiiKing solution and that parametric oscillation was involved. So I did a search and came up with the 2010 thread.
When primemignonite posted I immediately realised that he didn't appreciate he was dealing with an old thread and warned him of the fact.
I had no idea that old sores might be opened up but I can't really be held responsible for that regrettable consequence of my action. I had a legitimate reason for replying to that thread. To ban opening up old threads would defeat the purposes of the forum.
