Default Racing lessons from Kindergarden inside!

In kindergarden (last year <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> ) they told us that if you don't have something nice to say, to remain quiet.

It was a valuable lesson.

There is an awful lot of hate getting thrown around in this forum. Why do I give a rat's ***? When people get slammed a few times, they tend to hold their cards closer to their chest. They will "fudge" technical info, and neglect to post experiments that fail. This works to no ones benefit.

Sure, good-natured teasing is fun, but in a technical forum it hurts the content. It would be better to save the "trash talk" for the "non-technical" forums, such as Regionals, Kills, and Lounge.

Or am I wrong?

You are right McRat. I have been away for a couple of weeks, and quite frankly I am shocked and disappointed of what has become of this forum in my absence. I would think that technically minded 'adults' would behave in a much more mature manner. I am hereby deleting and locking ALL off-topic and immature flame posts. People, remember what the hell we founded this board for, why we are here, and where we came from!
