I think it's the sense of friendship that keeps us all together. Lots of laughs and everyone treats each other pretty darn well. Sure, a noob here and there gets a beating, but those are ALWAYS earned and deserved.
See now, what I was seeing on RCU wasn't even noob beating, it was just a hair short of calling somebody stupid. One of my worst pet peeves is people who run around thinking they are better than everybody else, and will stomp anybody to stay there. Everybody has to start somewhere, and no, not everybody understands how things work as well as another person.
Lol, I was about to paste the conversation here, but it seems the guy who started all the crap got all of his posts in the topic deleted. Funny thing is, my initial post where I ripped him a new one was NOT deleted. Though my others were, where I was arguing with him.
Basically, somebody was asking if he could use rubber cement instead of liquid mask, because he was having a hard time getting the masking tape to form the way he wanted it too.
The other guy came out and said if he can't handle putting masking tape on, that he probably shouldn't be painting in the first place. I think I put it too nicely though. That's where I stepped in.
Here is my post:
I hate to hijack, but this has been buggin me. I've been a member of this forum for all of maybe 3-4 days, and I've seen more downright rude posts here than any forums I've been on, RC or not. Forums are supposed to be a place to help people, not ridicule them. I'm new (again) to RC, and I try to help people based on what I know, and what I think is right. But too many people on this particular forum would rather shun a person, or use snide remarks, than help. It would be just as easy to offer assisting words, rather than to insult somebodies intelligence.
Again, thanks guys, it's forums like this that keep me coming back. And the more I stay here, the more I plan to become a supporting member. That and I want a cool sig and avatar pic
