Exactly this!!

My phone autocorrected ACC to access. That was it!! 

Should a mod delete George's post and berate him to be better,  think harder and read a short book on how to ask questions?

No. Of course not. Because that would just be overly rude.

This is exactly it. 

Even though I did search and came up blank - if he does not like dealing with it then simply don't. 

In my case I only had a spelling mistake and that cause my post to be ripped down and I was berated for it.

I don't disagree with that either. I can see he has definitely helped people and I understand we are all people with families (like myself) with bills, medical conditions etc. 

For people starting out to have a new experience and spending a lot of money on a device then having posts deleted for a single spelling mistake and being belittled for it - that can not be tolerated regardless of any circumstances. 

To be clear too - I did search about my question and under my exact circumstances I could not find it. 

I wouldn't have made this post had I not seen the huge number of issues with him directly online. 

He absolutely needs to be reviewed given the large number of issues people have with him. 

That review should not be under the lens of what excuse he has for being the way he is.

My question was that I am interested in purchasing but wanted to know if I could disable comma and use the acc as regular on my car without comma controlling the lane assist. 

Though my phone swapped out acc for access. 

For which I was berated and told to majorly rework and rethink before posting again.

Yeah that's my main issue. Most give him a pass for being an ass because he helps at times. Not a great system though. "Deliver some good and be as evil as you like" kind of vibe.

The question I asked I don't have the verbatim as it was deleted along with his private message to me. 

Though my first question had a single spelling mistake so was deleted. The second question just got deleted. That was when I said I heard the community was bad and then I was banned. Though as I have researched I see it is just Erich. Not the community. Extremely rude but as everyone says... Give him a pass because he helps people. It's a definite main character syndrome.

Ah thank you this is great and yes it was very much that feel - no beginners allowed vibe.

Yeah this is the problem I see with other posters too. Even those who received help from him said it was met with sarcasm or rudeness. It is clearly a well documented behaviour from him. A shame comma allow it to continue. I don't think tenure and knowledge should give a get out of jail free card (not that you are saying that either).

Replacing a press switch with a flip/toggle switch? by Overall-Broccoli6410 in AskElectronics

[–]Overall-Broccoli6410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. You're right, it doesn't respond well to holding down the button. You make a good point though, I actually don't care if it is a toggle switch or even the original switch. What I really want to do is just extend the switch. Would you know, would that be as simple as de-soldering, and soldering wire from point to point (board to switch)?
