Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I agree with what you are saying, but remember this, those new members need guys like you who can step up and give them real answers, and help to those questions no matter how simple they may seem to us. There is a reason they asked the question, we owe it to them to show them how FABO really works. They will figure out for themselves who are good guys and who are trouble makers and hopefully if we can show them that there are more good guys than bad they will stick around and learn what we can teach and can impart there knowledge and skills on us.

Thanks skypower. More often than not I don't have the level of knowledge to answer questions that guys will have. From time to time I try to give input if I think it'll help.

I don't want to drive anyone off this site. - But a few of the guys here that have big brains are amongst those most likely to insult fellow members. - It's not friendly ribbing. It crosses a line into trying to push the buttons to insult others and escalates into verbal abuse. - And it really is a shame. I'd go to the devil himself for advice if I needed it to figure out a problem, but I'd probably leave needing psychiatric help afterwards. - But a lot of guys go dark. You see them drop from the site or they ask the moderators to have themselves removed.

You're right. I'm sure the vast majority of members are great guys. The unfortunate thing is that those with the worst attitudes are the most vocal. I have no desire to get into a debate with the ones trying to stir up trouble. More often than not I see that they are joined by others that eventually seem like a lynch mob. Calmer voices don't always prevail. It gets old after awhile. And it can really start to affect your own attitude.

I hope that no one is interpreting my words as a criticism of all of the sharpest members. The very best out there are rarely involved in controversy. One of the members that I've never had contact with but seems very knowledgeable is OldmanRick. I've never seen a negative post from him. He is one of many that proves you can be both intelligent and very respectful to others. If he's had a negative post, I haven't seen it. It seems to me that he's the type of person that FABO needs.
