Baiting and and being made to look like a fool.

About three times I have noticed the following behavior on the list. A
number of people relate a negative experience they  have had with product X
or company X of whatever and nobody replies to them. I go and I relate my
own bad experience with the exact same company or brand and I get a
truckloads of replies that tell me basically that I am all wrong and at the
same time NOBODY comes foreward and supports my observation, rather I am
made to look like some ass that doesn't know what they are talking about.
The Jefferson I opened up, had no insulation between the windings and the
case or core. I heard one person say he swears he will never depot another
Jefferson as long as they live. I read a number of posts here on this board
with a similar tone and opinion about Jeffersons. Now that I am getting
emailed to death, where are all these folks now? Hiding in the woodwork?

Maybe it's because people really find my posts interesting and read them but
after about 10 emails, I begin to feel that I am the main dish in a
barbecque. I am sorry I said anything. Others have related similar
experiences to me.

If I were new to this list, I would think this is some prank that the group
here likes to engage in by baiting someone to see if they bite and then
swatting them down just for fun, but I have gotten to know a lot of you, and
I so I don't think that this is the case. I don't think this is deliberate
but this has happened several times and whatever the reason this keeps
happening, I find it most unpleasant and embarrassing. Maybe it wouldn't be
so bad if I weren't the one that seems to be getting singled out on this.

I would mention these incidents, I remember the first was about
www.sciencefirst-dot-com the second, I cannot remember what that was about, and
this last fiasco was regarding Jefferson NST.

This is about the third time this has happened to me. I don't understand
this. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Terry, please post this. It may not have all that much to do with Tesla
coiling but it sure does bring out something to do with how we treat
each-other inavertantly.
