@johnwehrle@mastodon.social Hah. Yes. Many times in the past I have been harshly accused of being a "buzz-kill", posting comments that spoil everyone's fun and bring a popular thread to a screeching halt.

Over the years I seem to have become much better at not doing that. But at the same time, I don't see that I've changed much.

It seems to me that the users have changed and are not so sensitive anymore. I dunno. At least they don't get made when I do it.

I had one recently that was ham radio related. There was a vigorous discussion of antenna theory underway and several people were citing Kirchhoff's Circuit Laws in their arguments. So I pointed out that Kirchhoff's Laws do not apply to antennas AT ALL, by definition. That was a brutal buzz-kill and nobody said a word.
