Default I just don't get some people.

Below is a PM I received from some random person wanting to know which Optima battery to put in his C5 (even though I own a C6). I just don't get how some people can be such asshats. The thing that gets me is if he knows SO MUCH about Corvettes, why is he reaching out to some random forum member and asking which battery to get?

I think you clicked on the wrong profile. I'm not a tech contributor.

so no relation huh?
No, it's not. I'm in IT so I deal with computers, not batteries.
ok...i get it...you own a Vette...maybe you ought to learn a little about batteries and other stuff so you can help members with their cars...just sayin.........................it
I know plenty having torn down several to the frame and put them back together again. Maybe you should learn more about them so you don't have to depend on other people to do something you should be able to do yourself.
Sir...I have been working on Corvettes for over 40 years and know more in my big toe about them than you know all together...i just don't know batteries too well and was just looking for an opiniion...I rebuild engines son...lol...you barked up the wrong tree...don't go away mad just go away...you are now blocked so do what ever you want mr. attitude......keep trying to get in the last word...maybe even get in touch with your obama relatives...

Ya know that you don't need to be smart to have money. As long as you have money you can buy a Corvette.

Wow, what a total douche. He obviously contradicts himself. 40 years of Corvette history and knows more in his big toe? What part of his big toe seeped out the simplest of simple knowledge even a kid could determine about which battery to select? Geesh!

I can't believe you didn't know what battery he needed....I'm sure he would've wanted you to go buy it for him too.
Some help you were...lol

I love how he contacted you with a question, and when you didn't give him the answer he wanted, he blocked you, and made a comment that made it sound like you were harassing him.

Yeah, this is proof that some people are not playing with a full deck.

I didn't get it myself, but then you have to consider the source.

We can only hope he sticks with the C5 guys & gals. I'll bet his security squirrel rides in the passenger seat.
