I hate bad tech advice more than most, and I have no problem when it's pointed out.

But more often now threads turn into a cat fight when people run out of tech info to rub the person's nose in.

And even if you do have a technical point, there's constructive ways of saying it, vs just antagonizing others. Hell, I tell Bogus he's wrong on a weekly basis, but I don't call him stupid or question his chromosome count.


I'm glad you said that.

This thread is a good example of what is wrong:
http://www.corvette-guru.com/modules/ ... ASC&type=&mode=0&start=20

Follow along the thread and look what happens. I post my thoughts, and Deakins comes in and says "maybe JSUP has a point".

Then Vettethreat comes in and starts acting like an a-hole. Here's a self proclaimed master mechanic who can't screw together his own engine, and he's giving me and Deakins crap for making suggestions. See, he never dealt with the technical issue and just launched into attacks. That's how it starts.

My problem is then I get blamed for "stirring the pot" when in fact it's people who can't take criticism when they ask a question and get an answer they don't like.

See, my issue is that those who actually do the pot stirring are somehow immune to the label.

Look at post 24, 25,26 in that thread and you tell me who is childish and starting shit. Not me, not Deakins, all we did was have the nerve to point out that the original design was defective on the face of it, and we got attacked.

I point this out because I am a bit tired of being the one taking the blame when others come in and attack ME for simply pointing out no matter how great of mechanic you are in your mind, you can't manipulate the laws of physics.
