General assessment of people on the forum

[RallySS]

Flame suit on:

I came to this thread after being a part of TBSSOwners, following LS1Tech, and quite a few others. That being said, this forum has great info and quite a few helpful people BUT has an overabundance of:

1. Jealous people who can't seem to grasp the thought of congratulating someone on their new car, even if dad/mom got it for them.
2. Uptight people who don't want anyone looking at their car the wrong way, playing a joke on them, or voicing their opinion (after op asked for it) for absolute fear the end of the world will be brought upon them and their car.
3. Overtly politically correct people who can't take a joke, statement, or basically any other idea that is other than their own with a chuckle and would rather bash the op into the ground or yell "racist" for what they perceived the comment to mean.

That being said, there is also the greater majority who can take it as they dish it, don't get offended much, and do give grats when new members join regardless of situations, and for them I say thank you and I enjoy your humor and friendliness quite a bit, especially the sarcastic, non PC posts. Everyone else needs to put on their "man pants" and GTFO.

Welcome to America. This drives me crazy everywhere.

As a side note, I think a lot of problems (on this forum and all others), come from the "good ol boy" group. Not to say this in a bad way, but a lot of people here were here since the beginning when the group was smaller. They all learned together, all became closer friends, and are familiar with each other. It makes it very hard for the new people to get in the crowd. That's just how people are. But every forum, for every car I've had is like that. The group gets comfortable with the group, and everyone else is kind of an outsider. Nothing "wrong" with that, it's just how it is.

I think people (and I'm included in this) forget just how stupid they actually were about this car in the beginning. They tend to forget what it's like to not know, or just how exciting their little things were. Newbie questions get answered rudely, people are harsh to someone else because they know more than someone else, and there are too many threads where members have to "whip it out" in a dispute. And then there a very select few who appear to go out of their way to sound like jerks. i try to not, but if someone tells me I sound like a jerk (and WHY) in a constructive way, I will fix it however possible.

I think this forum is ok in the grand scheme of communities. Usually the personalities will turn me off to the community quickly. With this one, I just figure out who's posts to avoid. PLUS, I try to remember that text just isn't always able to show context and inflection

You know that when you put on your "man-pants", driving an automatic then becomes impossible, right?
