I didn't know you had been laid off, That is horrible, I been thinking you were the only one around here still building machines. Well now it makes sense about being somewhat shamed over that chip blower...Truly sorry to hear that L/Shawn, hope things get better, 🙁

I find that incredibly bizarre, "Can't follow a plan?" Where I come from it is be good at what you do or don't eat.

Our home internet has been down for 3 days.

I am constantly disappointed when I apply Australian expectations of tradies in rural Thailand. Summarise it as I have to become an expert at almost everything, so that I can either properly supervise them doing it, or even teach them how to do it.

I guess everyone did put Jennifer on ignore...That seems most unfortunate.
Just keep posting, don’t worry about comments - doesn’t mean you’re being ignored, just means we got nothing to add!

Try not to be racist.
Calling it the China virus has led to a lot of violence.
Please be less ignorant.

Oh I so am not buying that, Everyone has something to add in thier own way, Even something seemingly trivial may trigger a brilliant idea in somebody else...I have noticed recently however, few people have been upgrading there work areas and seem to be shopping more at Harbor Freight, for disposable tooling...The economy could be to blame, one might think, But a more disturbing thought would be building cabs may be phasing out as a hobby all together, And the longer this goes on the smaller the skills pool gets...Totally Jurassic park sideshows are we.😒

I only post if I feel I can add something useful. There, I thought that comment was useful.

Skills atrophy at a society level is inevitable because as we become more specialised in what we do, we lose essential practical everyday skills. The smaller number of people that still do those practical skills become more valuable and even more specialised as they upskill (which explains why, in advanced economies, tradies cost so much these days).

You can probably tell that I trained at college as an economist and not as a carpenter :P

Building cabs will inevitably wane as a hobby because the new generation of retrogamers grew up more with consoles and handheld games rather than arcade cabinets. For it to thrive you need relatively young, enthusiastic people with money in their pockets and time in their schedules. The number of such people in this hobby is in decline. The arcade golden age has long gone, replaced with a long sunset. The people that remember it well are mostly in their 50's or higher now.

Building cabs will always be a thing, just not as big a thing as it used to be.

We don't need an aggressively racist person here.

There are numerous accounts of violence on people of Asian descent because of talk like this.

She is openly defiant about it.

Thanks.

Thanks for coming out and chiming in, SirPeale. Glad that this has been resolved. People like that just toxify the forum, and the blatant racism or lack of awareness really put a topper on the cake. Plus, this member has been going off the rails the last little while...so it seems like she/he had it comin'.

It's been a while since I've read one of your posts that wasn't from old threads I'm obsessed with!

Knowing I am among only friends here, I do want to say I don't condone any of what she said, and agree with house rules here, but can we all make an effort to avoid accusing others of being racists? That is a pretty charged word. My point on this is every time I have seen it hurled out there, it only escalates the situation and divides people more. Our society is in a really bad place right now, and this sort of talk ends up as just fuel on the flames, even if it comes from people who mean well and care deeply about stopping that kind of rhetoric. This site is filled with amazing people from all over the world on it, with all sorts of backgrounds, and I honestly believe that nobody here is a racist.

Thanks for letting me speak my peace. Carry on.  :cheers:

Thanks for that. I wanted to be on Jenn's side, I really did. But I've never cared for sides, and they don't really matter when it comes to this.

Sorry Vigo. I respectfully disagree with you on this.
She is what she is.
Letting it go just allows her to keep spewing hate.
There are some things in life that are worth fighting against.
This is one of them. She said what she said and then she was willing to torpedo her membership here to defend those statements. She was given the chance to retract those statements and she just spewed more hate.
She is definitely a racist.

Just to add further clarity.
She wasn't telling a joke or busting balls.
The statements she was making are contributing to violence against people who are of Asian descent.
Why should we allow that to perpetuate here?

It occurs to me that no one else sees the number of complaints about people for various reasons that I don't take action on, only the stuff I do finally do something about.

2019 Vigo would completely agree with you, Mike. 2021 Vigo just desperately wants to get the ---fudgesicle--- off this roller coaster.

I am going to admit I do not know the full context since he decided to nuke her posts, and agree that things that can offend people should be removed and honestly shouldn't have been posted to begin with. It was more than fair to ban her for not taking it down and that final comment would have sealed the deal with me, if I were the decision maker.

From what is left up, I am trying to be fair, I don't see a deliberate attempt at racism. Not saying you can't see it that way, but being matter-of-fact, China is a country, not a race. Jenn's comments, as I saw them, could have easily come from a place of geopolitical opinion, and not racial. I am a bit sensitive to that as well. My wife is Chinese, and immigrated the to US in her 20's. Even though we have got family and friends in China, you should see the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about China that comes out of my wife's mouth. They are a government that engages in a lot of terrible human rights practices.  :dunno

But none of that is here or there. My whole point is calling someone racist, even if it might seem obvious from your perspective that you are defending against hate, hate isn't necessarily the motive for a comment from the other person. The minute you throw that charge out there in the open, there is no going back from it. The only reaction you are going to get in response is anger and it is going to fuel a narrative that only divides that person against the rest of us. I don't think that is a position we should be putting each other in, and something the mods can ultimately handle.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about these things in the last year (I end up needing to do that living in Minneapolis). The sister of a co-worker friend of mine had her Ethopean restaurant burnt down in the chaos. I am a bit introspective about the collateral damage issue. After a lot of thinking, I personally feel a big reason why we are where we are is as a society, is we allowed the charge of racism to be thrown around callously. Every politician accuses the other side of racism, the news is filled with stories accusing people of being racist, or throwing a racial angle on every subject. Places like Twitter are nothing but people calling each other racist, like that meme with two spidermen pointing at each other. This is pure poison, and things are not going well at all. Things are literally burning down around us.


Anyway, I have zero ill will here friend, and am not trying to single you or anyone out or anything. I know your intent is nothing but admirable and I appreciate that, really do. I am just speaking my peace in a broad sense at the state of affairs today. Everyone needs to take a step back.



It occurs to me that no one else sees the number of complaints about people for various reasons that I don't take action on, only the stuff I do finally do something about.

...

I don't have a deeper point to make.

Thanks, Saint. I appreciate this a lot. It is actually pretty comforting being at a place where the owner sees us for all our faults as human beings and gives us more chances than we likely deserve. I probably would have been out the door a long time ago myself if things were more strict. :cheers:

i dunno.

this will probably be deleted and should probably be posted in pnr... but since we are airing this here....i'm in the boat that racisim is only racisim when it's meant to be racist. the whole jumping on racisim thing is getting out of hand. I feel when people jump on the "that's racist"  bandwagon, they tell the people that they purport to defend that they are incapable of defending themselves in the matter. Kowtowing over it only make it worse. I suppose my use of the word "kowtowing" is being used derogatorily now??

certainly "china virus", while somewhat inaccurate, is certainly easier to remember and type than SARSCoV-2 or VUI-202012/01 or whatever the hell cryptic numbers and names scientists give things these days. but when the post was made, nobody said hey..can we just not call it china virus? (at least till whiteknights showed up then everyone bandwagon'd saying how wrong it was, including some people who never, ever posted in the thread at all) and i belive it was just said in passing and not directed at anyone in particular. while i don't think it should become a norm, something like "china virus" said in passing and not being used to direct hate towards anyone in particular is not necessarily a hate driven statement. not said in a way to direct hate towards people i mean... would someone have preferred "wuhan virus" simply because it's more accurate??

"Sucks you lost your job from the china virus, you able to get unemployment?"

is a far cry from

"your china virus made me lose my job"

we need to stop thinking everyone needs saving.

With respect, “COVID” is easier still and widely used. Many viruses are named after the region first discovered, others are not. This one is unique in that, intentionally or not, identifying it by region has inflamed hostility and attacks against people of certain ethnicities.  No one attacks someone for being responsible for the spread of Ebola or Zika just because of the way they look, but those are named for the region first found — they do for COVID.

Responding with “oops, my bad” would have been the response I think 95% of us would’ve given. But doubling down with false information and then telling people to ---fudgesicle--- off I think tells you where her particular mindset was.

Let’s face it, this was a long time coming. She wasn’t banned for being a racist, she was banned for being an ---uvula---.

The best defense against accusations of racism is simply not to conduct yourself in a racist manner.

Well, it is what it is. The world has changed in so many different ways. Something okay one day is not the next, then later on is...then not again. I think the effort of people being so hardcore being against racism has caused the issue to become worse instead of better. It can be hard to keep track of what's going on.... I stopped almost all forms of media cause I just can't handle it anymore. Absolute s-show of misinformation everywhere you can't even sort fact from fiction anymore.so much misinformation and hyperfocus it's making everything worse that it actually is.

And yeah, I get that this is saints domain (figuratively not literally) and what he says goes. I can respect that. Like it or not, If he has a problem with it, then that's it. Edit your post and move on.

I don't know the exact series of events the led to where we are now, as I only got the begining and the end, so I'm not able to pick sides (nor is it appropriate to) but from what I gathered is a passing statement got blown out of proportion and attacks where made. Which is not right. Send a pm, start a thread, Report a comment. Sorry, but we don't need information threads shittered up with people attacking people for something they posted.

For want of a nail a shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe a horse was lost.
For want of a horse a rider was lost.
For want of a rider a message was lost.
For want of a message a battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
All for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Now we have an empty thread with zero information  cause now it's all gone.  All for the want of an edited post.

With all due respect, I think you’re letting Jennifer off the hook. Nobody deleted her posts, she did that on her own, and she had been doing that for days. She’s just playing games here.

For whatever reason, she decided to go back and retroactively delete her posts. I tried asking her why many times, but she never gave a specific reason other than to nebulously blame Mike.

At no point did a mod step in and delete anything she said. She was given every opportunity to “edit your post and move on”, instead she doubled down.

We have had countless people nuke their posts....and it's a damn shame. This forum is ment to be an information repository where we can share and later search. Every time a thread gets nuked like this information is gone. Forever.

Maybe there isn't enough "regular" mods, I don't know.

I totally agree. That’s why I asked her why she was deleting her posts. For example, she gave you good advice on painting, but for some reason she felt compelled to pull it down. Unprovoked, at that time as well.

I don’t understand how her being mad at Mike and pulling down a totally unrelated post is helpful in any way.

My whole point is calling someone racist, even if it might seem obvious from your perspective that you are defending against hate, hate isn't necessarily the motive for a comment from the other person.

we need to stop thinking everyone needs saving.

100% agree. I would vote for both of you for president! I think we jump to hate too quickly.

Don't get me wrong, Jen has problems, but when Jen was throwing shade at the Arcade1up's and being very personal about it, I didn't see any of us try to be the arbitrators of justice. It was an ugly, pile-on event by all sides. What's my point here? I don't know. I love and hate all you!

"China virus" sounds harmless yeah? Do you know that the Australian PM wanted to have an independent inquiry into the source of the virus, with the nasty end pointed at China, and now CHina is blocking trade with Australia. A dozen different things or more, costing Aussies billions and billions in trade. Businesses going broke. All because one guy (an idiot, "Scomo from marketing") suggested that the virus came from CHina.

One other guy I know of who's stupid enough to call it the China virus is Tronald Dump. Except he isn't stupid, he deliberately did it, he knows that stirring up racism gets his supporters excited.


I'd better stop there because I'm getting into politics.

Check out my completed projects!

No excuse for vitriol here, and sadly Jenn has lots to dole out.

Don't know why, and after so many people make so many efforts to gloss over it or even try to help her out and still get nastiness in return...?

... followed up with I'm taking my toys and going home behavior?

I'm sad for Jenn that she obviously has serious issues to sort through, but Saint isn't her therapist and he has a lot to think about as regards things around here already.

Apart from random commentary lacking enough detail to REALLY be helpful to anyone I can't see what she was contributing to the community here anyway.

It is a shadow of what many here are willing to share, in a manner that is useful and unoffensive.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

I was well aware of when Jenn started to delete her posts, I watched it just like others did. I was also well aware of the long back and forth nastiness between Mike A and Jenn.  In her skateboarding posts she gave hints of her views on Covid amongst other things which personally I found really repugnant.

Jenn was troubled and behaving in a way that is not acceptable I’m not going to argue against that. Agreed 100%.
 
I’m just going to say this and you can make of it what you will.  Bullying, parading as moral indignation is still bullying.  Jenn could be a giant pain in the ass, but she had skills which we could have learned from, despite what some of you may say, it was clear that she did.  Continually accusing her of lying because of her reluctance to post pictures amounted to bullying in my opinion.  To what end and why?  Did you really care, did you go to bed at night seething that, “that ---smurfette--- is lying. I must reveal it!”?  Even if she was, who gives a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---?

There is a lack of mod control here.  Give her a holiday, some long time out.  But ban her and hang it on racisim?  ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.
 
There’s no need to reply with, she did this and she did that.  Boo Hoo.  I know, I have eyes and brain.  I was there too.

You can't learn from someone who refuses to teach anything. The whole point of asking for proof was that she was giving bad advice. She told me I never built anything and she said I never posted any pics. She also called me an alcoholic on a daily basis. I left the forum for 2 months and she kept at it. This selective memory is ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. She said she rewound the yoke on hundreds of monitors. Multiple people asked her how she did it. She refused to share that knowledge. She said she built 20 thousand dollar cabs but refused to share any information at all. What were we supposed to learn from her?
