I didn't feel threatened but I found your choice of words dismissive and foreboding which was surprising considering I was just brainstorming an idea and looking for constructive feedback.
Disparaging remarks and insults are a big part of what's alienating people from this hobby and the industries whose success depend upon generations of new enthusiasts. Food for though the next time you hear about yet another track/venue being shut down, specialty vendor closing up shop or project car being abandoned / parted out.
