The same with the C4 Technical Information section. It seems that when a new member posts with a question that has been covered or is easy for the older members, or involves parts from a vender that dont seem right to the new member, in stead of being refered to the search function, or refered to the venders for clarification, or asked to even clarify his question, we get the first 5 or 6 replies to the thread filled with ridicule. Two recent posts stand out . The first was in tech, the op got some parts from a vender that didnt match anything on his car. The first 5-6 posts ridiculed him for being to dumb to use tools. The 2nd one that stands out is this one. The op asked about a subject thats well covered , first few posts, ridicule. Good hearted jokeing is cool and accepted, but this jumping in and trying to be part of the crowd heaping ridicule isnt cool . Ive noticed that the majority of the members that post these ridicule posts almost never post to help anyone , but they're always asking for help. BTW many thanks to you members that stepped in and helped with the thread, respectfully, bob
Relax Bob. Sorry our humor fell under your ridicule definition instead of your joking definition. Didn't know the forum appointed you the new sheriff. Where were you when the OP was ridiculing someone elses thread? If you can dish it out, you better be able to take it.

I'd like to hear about the OP bashing someone else's thread. If there's a problem here, report it to a Moderator so we can try to correct it. We don't know about it if you don't report it.
