Seaspray, I appreciate your thoughts but I go by experience. I know that any corrections on this forum are given in a friendly way, I've had enough communications with enough people to know that. The experiences I had on Model Boats were from people who had a condescending and know-all attitude from people who didn't know a thing about me. I realise that they may be in a minority but they spoilt the experience for me completely.
I have many years modelling experience that am happy to share with anyone who is interested but I am not going to put up with someone having a go at me for making a suggestion that they did not agree with. When I pointed out that the forum is supposed to be an open freindly arena and that this guy was out of order Kayem jumped to his rescue.
Far too full of themselves for me. I watched one guy come out with a very basic question that was very naive and everyone jumped on him for asking it. Result? he won't ask a question again and the forum will have lost another contributor and maybe even modelling will have lost another person. That forum needs to learn that there is no such thing as a stupid question and the experienced guys need to get off thier high horses and stop thinking that they are the only ones who know how to do something.
I think I'll stick with an open, friendly, constructive forum that I actually enjoy reading and contributing to.
Thanks for the message anyway. |
