Who is the BAD GUY ?

[moeee]

I think members should put a little more effort into the titles of threads.

When I see a Title named "seeking honest opinions" , I feel drawn to read it and possibly assist.
When I see "Opinions on Value of Old Relics" I am not drawn to read , much less to offer an opinion.

But with the former I gave my honest opinion as per the title and was thanked with , well whoever participated knows the thanks I got.

I did not call the O.P. as being worthless or anything derogatory , yet I received that sort of response.
And I am the Bad Guy ?

I guess both sides were a little too sensitive but thats the modern way by the looks of things.

Free cups of cement all 'round might help.

Brilliant example xcavator.

Because once you invested 5 minutes of your Life in the hope that you can assist the O.P. , you feel committed to oblige with a post , even if it is to vent your frustration.

Moeee I think you could have answered the topic in question a little less harshly. Anyway it's up to you how you interact here, if members don't like your posts then they are most likely going to let you know about it.

Starting threads like this never really help either.

I'm not saying you are a bad guy, I'm just saying that sometimes we need to choose words we use more carefully.

Sometimes a smiley face can help too.
