Don't you hate it when someone posts a question in any random forum and you take the time (sometimes I have spent over an hour typing answers and/or doing research for people when I didn't know the answer but knew where I could find it) to type out a clear, concise, step by step answer to whatever their problem was and then they totally flame you for it? Instead of saying thank you, they just fire back with "Don't treat me like a newbie" or "I'm not stupid" or "Don't talk to me like I don't know anything about paintball". What total a-holes.

I don't get why people do that. I am thankful that these forums are here. They are a great place for us to share information and experiences with eachother. This may sound corny but I feel good when I am able to help someone out with whatever their dilema is and it totally sucks when they are completely ungrateful and rude about it.

Most people here are great and would never do that. But for those of you who do, I'm sure I'm not the only one who consciously remebers your ID and will NEVER answer a question for you again.

hmm, never had that happen to me before. whenever I answer questions, it is normally opinion based. sometimes fact. I mean, I never research like you, I just type whatever comes hot outta the nerves.

and maybe it is the way you answer them. I mean, maybe just maybe you type in a condescending manner, you know. people can read the tone of your typing!!! lol. :laugh:

I dunno. but it sucks when you help someone out and they do that(I have had it happen in places taht were not the forums)
