Maybe I'm crazy...

Was he referring to you?

RD comes to mind.
Some on this board would have a breakdown

RD is brutal.....haha.....

Twice Ive had people threaten that they were going to find out where I lived and kill me....nice huh? I LOVE that board

what's the age got to do with it? lol

for the record --- correction is one thing. I won't tolerate blatent mis-information either, so if someone such as e_andree or turbo4age chime in and correct (despite sometimes it being a little blunt and harsh) its their god given right to do so. If they hurt your feelings, try to learn not to take it personally, take it as it comes and learn from it. Everyone has their own style of delivery. Honestly, when they do it, they're beating me to it, hehe. I've done my fair share of correction on folks and sometimes I do feel the need to not only correct but school you at the same time. It's not done out of malice, but out of extreme prejudice against misinformation. It doesnt mean I'm flaming you because I feel like it or i don't like you, it means I'm frustrated at the spread of misinformation and the need for me to correct it. I'm the same way in my job when someone decides their an expert on network engineering and I have to show them the err of their ways.

As for the hostility remarks, yes this board is very tame. We won't tolerate a blatant bust on someone (ie. Hey XXXXX, you're a fucking moron and you don't know enough to wrench yourself out of a fucking wet paper bag) and we 90%+ of the time catch it and step in at somepoint to correct,mod,etc. However, if someone borders on the harsh in correction --- as long as it doesnt get into a outright poo-fling then whatever, deal with it -- its still tamer than most.

I may be harsh/blunt, but out of those harsh/blunt comments, youll rarely see me stoop to the level that i call you a bad name....if i think your BSing, Ill say so. Theres an ignore feature for a purpose.....if the internet gets to ya so easily....use it
