The reason I enjoy RC-Monster forums

[Motoman]

You guys need to check this thread out that's over on RCTech. It's the same kind of arragant ranting that you see with guys bashing on electrics.

So, I was posting to help RC4Fun with a buggy electric conversion and then a bunch of guys came on there and turned it into a rant about how much they hate electrics. Just about everyone that posted there had nothing useful to say and imho their comments were completely uncalled for.

Here's a clip of what's going on over there.

Real men drive nitro's, leave the electrics for women and children.

I just recently joined over there, and now I know why RC-Moster is sooooo much better. Here, it's uncommon to see people bashing on others just because they have different ideas or preferences. Over there, it's almost as if they pride themselves on being rude and speaking without prior knowledge of the subject. (not everyone of course)

Anyways, I've been trying to be the "better man" by ignoring all of the rude ill-intentioned comments but they're starting to push it too far. For example:

Nitro is actually a lot EASIER. Good luck though, hope you've got someone good to guide you!

He was referring to me btw. It's very annoying when people make comments about others that they know nothing about. If he were a little sharper, he could easily look at my signature and see that I have 3 brushless trucks (2 of which are conversions that I did, the 3rd is a XXX-T MF2). Or he could just as easily take a look at my public profile that's posted over there and see that I'm an Electrical Engineering Major (maybe he doesn't know what EE stands for).

Be sure to read the post by TTR:EB4. It doesn't make any sense, and it sounds like he wants something bad to happen. I don't know about you guys, but the better my trucks run the happier I am. I don't get my thrills on knowing that a nitro engine could "blow up" at any moment or from the danger of the hobby.

Needless to say, my stay over there was short and bitter but I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. (btw, I'm still a member over there but I don't plan on visiting that site very often after that.)

So, I just wanted to let everyone here know how much I appreciate the friendly environment here on RC-Monster, and I hope it stays that way.
