Again, I recommend you "read the room" better. Perhaps, research the effectiveness of empathy in science education. And on providing effective online feedback. Because it sure seems that your comments/advice I've seen to date really have been bloviation and technocratic trolling more than anything else.
OK guys and girls (though not sure there are any ladies making CEF50's in this thread ?).
I'm not going to warn anyone or delete/edit any posts. However, I will make a couple of observations on etiquette, which may or may not help with avoiding little moments like this on a forum.
This thread has pretty much been self moderating. Miss understandings have all been worked out amongst the posters and I think everyone has always made up and moved on - over what are generally just upsets about how something is read or written and then is taken the wrong way.
then one can only conclude that you are trying to moderate an open forum (of which you are not a moderator ), to appear to your own delusion as the owner of this thread.
So firstly,
@TCFlowClyde is the OP as you've correctly pointed out. Invariably OP's are more protective of the threads they've created and often put considerable energy, thoughts and knowledge into them. OP's are more likely to use the report function if they think someone is spamming or trolling "their" thread (no one has in this instance). As Moderators we do generally give slightly more leeway to OP's, within reason, as they've probably created the thread with a specific purpose in mind and want to keep the thread on track. Often some of their persona will bleed over into the threads content and different threads have different atmospheres because of this.
@Waynemarlow This is where things went wrong.
@TCFlowClyde said :
Where he's clearly not making any claims to be an electrical engineer and is quite happy to admit he doesn't know and displays humility in his post.
You then said :
Whilst you may not of tried or meant to cause offence, your reply is blunt and reads as aggressive with the first sentence which is completely unnecessary and is ultimately demeaning.
To help give you an example. Gary used to be blunt and direct when you posted incorrect facts. You didn't like that and it always ended up with all the toys being thrown out of the pram. You'd hope from your experiences you'd have developed some empathy for similar situations.
The second part of your paragraph makes a technical proposal which is counter to the theory already being discussed in the posts previous to yours that it's possible the motors are physically identical :
Yet you provided no evidence or experience to back up your comment, like some nice stripped down pictures of inside the motors or even weights of the different motors.
You then said :
I’m afraid as an EE it’s either correct or it’s not. Unfortunately all too often I see basic motor and battery function perhaps misunderstand by the poster along with way people will accept anything written on the internet must be true.
Where you seem more interested in arguing your basic point - where once again the discussion was actually about choosing a motor voltage, not necessarily on it's technical advantages or disadvantages, but on the availability of the range extenders and batteries to go with the bike. For instance the delays with the 48v batteries.
There's also the point you keep making that people shouldn't believe what they read on the internet ! Unless it's written by you ?
This is a useful, productive and interesting thread and I'd like to hope everyone can put this behind them as an irrelevant blip, we can all make mistakes and sometimes rush to write things without fully evaluating what we're saying. Everyone posting here has something to offer and is obviously welcome and encouraged to continue to post in the thread.
Whilst I won't be deleting anything which has been posted. Any further posts on the subject which are derogatory or personal will be deleted.
Thanks all. Have a nice day now.
I might try another 59 mm length to compare. Plus, he's including a more standard Ti mating bolt than OEM to match. It's more art than science at this point.
