then the topic was locked.
Well, to use the Australian (as well as other countries) expression.
"Don't be a Dick".
The locked thread went to 6 pages, and the OP, (my remembered impression of the thread, possibly mistaken) still hadn't answered a single question, even simple/basic ones.
"You are barking at the wrong tree".
I was addressing Simon, for making an injustice and a false accusation to Tesla's legacy, then locking the thread. This is not the first time Simon does that, throwing his own opinion as final, then locking a thread. I don't want to see that turning into a habit. No more, no less.
As for the thread that was locked, I didn't follow that thread at all, because I've explained that video already, a year ago, to a user Dejan567, probably the same DejanC.

Can you please comment on the below at around 28 minute mark? Feel free to watch the entire video [same video as in the last week thread].
And my explanation was this: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/tesla-hairpin-circuit-curious-phenomenon/msg4858439/#msg4858439
See MK14? You even thanked me for that explanation.
To my eyes, there's nothing mysterious or unexplainable in that video. All clear and explainable using no more than high school physics.
I meant that, the decision to lock that thread, was fine and legitimate.
As you suggest, leaving an opinion piece at the end, may not be a good idea, if the thread is about to be locked.
I'm happy for people to have various opinions about Tesla and the stuff they did.
But, if it gets to the point that a person, is so solidly obsessed with Tesla, that they keep on making multiple forum accounts and remaking the same (or very similar) threads, all about the same topic. Moderator action, may be needed.
Which if anyone tries to disagree with, their beliefs in the presented video(s) and Tesla, will, instead of being listened to and thought about, then commented.
Seems to just get an indignant/obsessive, Tesla was/is right, it has to be wrong. Type of response.
I.e. There are forum users (the majority), that we can have useful discussions about stuff with in threads.
But there can be a minority, who are so obsessed with their beliefs (such as The Earth is flat, or free-energy machines are already a thing, as their YouTube video, shows free-energy, lighting a light bulb, via some wires, coming from a sealed, so called black-box perpetual motion generator/machine), that a thread can get to 200 pages long and the OP, is still rigidly sticking to their original ideas.
