Critique is most effective if presented respectfully. Civility paves the way for collaborative dialogue bypassing preonceived mindsets.
But if critique is presented with condescention or denigration, such toxicity very quickly stifles any opportunity to reason respectfully with each other.
This circuit is a good example. The following is my circuit description:
D-type flip-flops are used in prescalar/divider circuits and frequency phase detectors. This circuit shows how a D-flip-flop can be made to change state and switch two coloured LED's.
Please note: EveryCircuit has included a power source into some components such as logic gates to save workspace. This circuit takes advantage of this initiative recognising this isn't indicative of reality and is only applicable in a simulator environment.
We will get back to my circuit momentarily.

Back to my circuit.
Which critique would your prefer?
Read this respectful critique:
"I read your description and I understand you're taking advantage of certain unique EC simulator anomalies but in reality, there is NO reason to build a 5V 'static voltage' level 2 x 0.7V below logic HIGH with 2 extra diodes and to not drop to voltages below logic level supply/2 adding a capacitor which is a big capacitive transient load for logic port pins. I believe that logic port pins are never meant to be used as supply source, not in a simulator and also not in reality. But overall, your circuit is neatly presented, thank you for sharing."
Now read this denigrating critique:
"This post is not a reference for a good design even the description sounds like. This is a circuit not to be taken serious, in best case its for fun, for nothing else. The "note" about "space saving initiative" is completely misleading, there is NO reason to build a 5V 'static voltage' level 2 x 0.7V below logic HIGH with 2 extra diodes and to not drop to voltages below logic level supply/2 adding a capacitor which is a big capacitive transient load for logic port pins. Note, logic port pins are never meant to be used as supply source, not in simulation and also not in real. Its in both worlds bad design and waste of space todo and also a good methode to destroy a DFF. IMHO its crap. Anything defamatory or condescending in this comment? Keep it. But as long you Lenny do not have any electronics knowledge reference there is no defamation or condescending possible. Concentrate on working electronics and stop bullying! Stop hijacking/spamming other threads, you are a charlatan who likes its terror-hobby here on everycircuit. Desintall EC and look for another hobby."
If critique was presented respectfully, I wouldn't have republished my circuits over and over again and Werner's circuits would have been free of my comments regarding his unacceptable behaviour.
I've offered to remove all of my comments on his circuits if he posts respectful critiques or if he's unwilling to behave respectfully, not to post comments on any of my circuits.
EC needs his expertise but not his condescending behaviour.
I will republish 5 circuits to rid them of condescension, hopefully for the last time, let us all treat each other in an atmosphere of civility.
Thank you for reading, have a great day...😎
