If you're honestly asking for opinions, then I would assert that your posts were just as argumentative as the ones to which you took offense. I will absolutely agree with one of your comments - "[You're] not an english student". 8)

Your post was rather difficult to read and make sense of. That was, what the comments (mine included) were all about. They were neither snide nor rude. As another member put it quite well: This is a forum based on written communication and thus has to follow certain basic rules of such written communication. You don't have to be an English student to do so. Many members are foreigners and their English is not perfect. Nobody is being criticized for that.
But if you want to be heard and understood you need to express yourself accordingly. You do not. You don't even want to try when you are asked. Sorry.

And for you, bobcat: See, the site isn't all that bad! You always find people who agree with you!

What Mike said.
From my own experience, as a relative newb, I have nothing but praise and respect for the members on this site. From the get-go they have been, and are, open, helpful, generous, and friendly.

That's funny! You quit this site eh? Don't you mean, "I read this site but I won't contribute to it?"

Same here.

bikeymikey748's experience might be skewed by the fact that he put up such an awesome build thread and a lot of the interactions he's had on here are people bowing to his skills. :)

But as someone who's contributed basically nothing of value, I've been enjoying my tenure here tremendously so far. :D

While I'm proud of the build, and chuffed that folks seem to be appreciative of the finished bike, I'm a bit uncomfortable with that characterization. See, I consider myself just another member on the forum. There are a bunch of talented, knowledgeable folks here, all I want to do is fit in, on any level.

Yes of course. We all get a little cranky and run our mouths, myself included. Glad to have you around.

Hey Bob good to see you! The site has changed for the better lately! More welcoming to new members and their builds, it’s always been a great bunch of knowledgeable people with strong opinions but mostly respectful to one another, there’s always exceptions to the rule but that has seemed to have been rectified!

Welcome back!

Thanks guys. I have changed too over the years. I hope to make a contribution without being obtuse
and sensitive to critics.
