RE: It's all about ME!
First off, I do not know the thread at all so I am strictly speaking to this thread.
I guess I sort of see both sides. Yes, people are very often too quick to judge and will bash someone or something when a simple call could/would fix the situation. On the flip side, there are times when a consumer does get just plain screwed. It is those times when public complaints are warranted. I want to know when a company/person treats its consumers badly so I can be more informed when making a purchase, especially b/c so many things in this sport sell for a significant percentage of my annual income and if I get jipped I can't just run out and pick up a new one.

RE: It's all about ME!
After everything thats happened the last 6 days in western KY, Im still amazed at how alot of us came together and helped each other out. I know that the people in good ol' KY are a different kind of people than what you'll find in alot of parts in the US. But my perspective on humanity and selflessnessin people has improved dramatically..

I usually don't do the "kids these days" critiques, but I guess as I get older and pay more taxes . . . 
Anyway, a couple of posters are accurate to point out that this is the nature of the beast and inevitable with a nearly anonymous message board. One person out of millions can stir up crap or have an agenda against someone or something. This part of message boards, including the anti-newbie, the know-it-all mentality (which I've been guilty of), and the chest thumping is inevitable. However, I prefer too much information to the good ole days of no internet and message boards. I've learned a lot from this site. You just have to get good at separating the wheat from the chaff.
