Re: Newbie view: have to be 'politically correct' to assylum insiders or beat up

Steve, it appears to be virtually impossible to explain anything to you, once you have your mind made up. The heart of this latest series of 'criticisms' of me was a short comment that I made to Jon Risch about you regarding your apparent lack of understanding of negative feedback. Here is the whole statement:
"Jon R , this shows that Steve doesn't understand the underpinnings of negative feedback. Of course Negative feedback generates the correction voltage to counter the EMF of the loudspeaker, etc. Read a book, Steve." Nov 19, Cable Asylum.

Steve strongly objects to the word 'counter'. Perhaps 'negate' or 'null' would have been more appropriate. My original comment still works for me, but then I know what I am trying to say. I can understand how it can be taken wrongly, but I have done my best to clarify my original statement, to no avail. Personally, I find it difficult if not nearly impossible to convey mathematically based technical info on this website. It just does not support the symbols that make it practical. I have looked up 'negative feedback' in three of the best textbooks that I have available. I can't find a simple explanation in any of them that can be conveyed on this website. Perhaps someone reading this thread has found a resource that will explain the subject most clearly.
