Are we becoming old, cranky scrooges in these forums.

Oh, I should have chosen another time to post far away from your posts to prevent accidentally triggering someone and the gang. My sincere apology.

Maybe it is a cultural difference but this Thread so far is the furthest from a heated debate until you joined in with that nonsense. However having had the honor reading previous posts of yours on life and how to live it before I fear it is more due to your bitter personality. :-// :-+ Or Maybe I underestimate how much to a CCP Drone any disagreement between adults must seem like a heated Debate.

That actually happened to an RC enthusiast acquaintance of mine.
He built one of those WW2 German fighters....not the ubiquitous ME109 or FW190, even myself can recognize those, but something a little more obscure.
To my un-educated eyes, the plane looked marvelous.
But when he took it to an RC meet specializing in WW2 planes, he actually got sh!t because a pair of decals were not correct for that particular airplane.
Something along the lines of: "Even a troglodyte knows that these planes were only used on the Eastern front prior to the Battle of Stalingrad, and your decals are of planes that fought exclusively during the London Blitz."

Err, no, how so exactly would that happen?

So the entire set of MIT lectures available on Youtube, not to mention the countless other tutorial videos on Youtube don't teach you anything? The exact same lectures that get you an engineering degree from MIT are useless?
Really?

--- Quote from: eti on May 26, 2020, 12:07:22 am ---I had to step back, think for a moment, and wonder if you serious when you say "becoming" - BECOMING? HAH! DOUBLE-HAH!! TRIPLE-HAH!!! EEVblog forum members seem to be grumpy, miserable, nit-picking old gits BY DEFAULT - if ever I've seen grumpy, EEVblog magnifies this a billion fold to another level. So, yeah, I am not sure about the "becoming" part - I've always known of this forum as a place where arrogant, know-it-all, miserable saddos with no life hang out (and where they make it VERY CLEAR, very quickly that they have no life outside the "community" they kid themselves they're "part of".)
It's almost as if you're "expected" to put up with it, and be grateful for membership, and that it's "par for the course" - like this pedantic arrogance is worn as a "badge of pride" by many (not all, naturally).
Have you EVER heard such a flaming crock of shit as the concept of ANY online forum being a "community"? The term is bandied about ad nauseum, but it doesn't make it any more true.
