Ok folks, let's not resort to name calling/flaming. Were all friends here.
I spoke with clearwaterms over the phone (we've been friends a long time) to find out why he typed what he typed. That post was not like him (IMO). He understands the reasoning behind breaking in a motor properly (he learned the hard way). It's very easy to skip steps when you're excited about a new toy or whatever you purchase. I'm sure we're all guilty of that in someway, shape, or form. I sure know I am. He was asking a simple question to see what others had done with their very first nitro engine.
I guess this has happened enough (from other boards) that he felt he needed to say something. This is the third time he's blown up at someone over that type of post. Apparently he feels that too many people nowadays don't read the post and respond accordingly. They simply reiterate already known facts and throw them back at the orginal poster.
I hope I haven't offended anyone. Just trying to offer a neutral opinion. I, personally, do not agree with his response. I am with everyone else that it was way too harsh and could have been easily worded different to get the point accross. I do not approve of flaming on these boards and the post has been edited accordingly.
clearwaterms, let's try and behave shall we? Everyone on this board is a nice person and very helpfull on and off the boards. Be smarter with your responses.
tony, I hope my post made some sense and I didn't offend you with my response above. I'll be happy to reword it if neccessary.
This thread shall stay open for discussion. Even if it begins to stray off topic, hearing more opinions (on the name calling posts) would be helpfull for everyone I think. If stuff like this happens again, threads will get locked down in a hurry.
