It isn't counter-productive to discourage posting about bad circuits, 
and while posts from people who don't actually know what their circuit 
is doing may generate useful discussion, they are of themselves helpful.

John Larkin is careful not to post an actual name. If I'm one of his 
"chronic insulters", I have posted new circuits here, and made what I 
imagine to be intelligent comments about them and others.

The "micro power square wave oscillator" thread from July 2 2008 does 
come to mind.

I didn't post my version of a circuit that worked at 100kHz until the 
7th July 2008 - I'd been house-sitting my brother's house in Australia 
when the thread started, which had limited what I could do - and I 
reworked John Field's circuit with a real inductor one could buy off the 
shelf, and got it to work too.

John Larkin hasn't done anything like that - or if he has I've repressed 
the memory pretty effectively.
