Wow... been away for a little bit. As TT mentioned in an earlier post, life happens, and it has certainly been happening with me lately
Been super busy and finally have gotten around to spending some time reading through old threads. It's saddening to see threads like this one. It wasn't that long ago that Ubi posted a similar thread. Unfortunately, it's just the nature of the forum world. It amazes me sometimes how people spend a large portion of their lives on forums only to leech information, troll and generally bring the vibe of a great community down.
Of course, the flip side is when you root through the trouble makers and general pricks, there are some amazing folks to be met!
Believe me, I know what it's like and it can get frustrating, but as has been mentioned, it's best just to move on and ignore it. For me, if someone who I don't know asks for input or advice about something, I will do a little research on the member. When did they join? Have they posted anything yet? Is it constructive? Are they generally polite and/or well mannered. If so, then I am happy to answer any and all questions (time permitting). If they haven't posted at all, or posted some negative/silly/stupid comments then I will tend to just ignore them.
I was a noob once too and I have learned so much from so many folks around here that I like to consider friends. Thing is, I wouldn't have dared asked any of them a question in a personal PM without doing A LOT of my own research first. I think the folks around here have been so helpful towards me because I took the time to be courteous and made an effort to learn.
It's not hard people. It just takes patience and time
