Why I don't post in here any more....

[Gee]

Hey, I've been looking all over for you guys. Now I see where everyone's been. Who's Patrick? Just kidding. Patrick's input has been a great help and as others said a voice of a company that has the end users in mind. I hope he also continues to participate in what usually is a great group of people that have alot of other things to complain about. Like why the heck to do people put in their listings on ebay. You are bidding on...... 95% or more of the people that are looking at the auction never bid on the danm thing. So why not say "On the auction block." or "Up for bid is....." Not "You are bidding on... I AM NOT BIDDING ON IT. I am only looking. Man I feel better getting that ebay thing off my chest. Patrick hope you stick around and it seems that most of the bashing and complaining seems to be coming from some of the newer members here at RCM although I haven't been here that long myself. I wsa lurking for 2 years, not! It seems when some of the vetrens (that most of us respect and some we tolerate:) jump in and say hey wait a minute. It really seems to stop a bashing thread. I guess the point is we as RCM Members need to be aware of what new users may bring to our (Mike's) forum. We have to remember this is the best forum around and it up to us to keep it that way not the Mods or Mike. So what do you say, can I get you guys to check out my truggy conversion now?

Money's tight.
More for some than for others. Some people might save their money for weeks/months to get their new ESC. To have it die in a few moments has to be a huge disappointment. For others, no big deal. They'll just get another and send the bad one in. If that one dies, just get another and...
For the most part, I think Castle has been treated fairly here. There is some unnecessary bashing for sure. There is also some constructive criticism that is interpreted as bashing. To be fair though, there is plenty of Castle apologists here too. The opinions run the gamut. Everyone has a different take based on their personality or personal investment. It's to be expected in this open forum type of communication.
So, I say to Patrick, man-up (my turn to get bashed). Do you think that leaving the forum will stop the bashing? I would think that it would only make things worse. Myself and the majority of others here love their CC stuff. You're going through a tough time right now, but it will pass. Until then, you have the un-enviable job of damage control. Bailing out certainly won't help.

said well, I agree on pretty much every point. Except I don't think patrick was 'bailing out', just is a little more careful about posting whats and whens, everytime he does we (collectively) complain about some aspect of it :P
