Its getting real obnoxious, how some people act on this site. I dont know alot about cars but being on this website sure as hell for the past year helped. But recently I feel as though I dont want to ask any questions now in fear of looking dumb. Well not anymore.
If you feel you know the answer to a question then answer it, do not, no matter how dumb you feel the question is its not to that person. We are all not mechanics here, and for anyone to judge another becuse they feel its a "stupid question", should not be on this site. This is a place to have fun, think, ask and tell others about whats going on.
If you have a negative remark e-mail me at dsnider0805@aol.com
or I.M. me at dsnider0805.
im not exactly sure what you are implying by this thread... are you saying that too many people on here respond as if someones question was stupid? or are you saying that people should be open to asking more questions, and no fear the "thats a stupid question" reply?

Ok bro...
Like I said previously... try not to take any sort of criticism harshly. Some people tend to be more smug on a webboard than they are in real life... I guess it's the "you can't get me" factor... As far as the "Obviously...you don't know about turbos systems" goes...it's a statement, reflecting what I assumed you knew about what you posted... and as you said, it's because you wanna know more, and are asking questions so you can learn... but I did answer a lot about the topic... right? I didn't do it in a "you know jack" kinda way (IMO)... I did it in the way I usually answer questions around here... with a bit of assertiveness... but of course... you hopefully understood that.
Anyways... if you do look back, I typically answer questions and challenge other's opinions/knowledge regardless how how often its been done. I mean, it's not a big deal, and there is the search function, but it's sometimes a lot faster to just ask and hopefully someone will just answer. As far as challenging other peoples opinions, well, I can start naming names, but since I'm just a noob abourd here...heh... anyways, we'll just leave it at that.
you just need to take everyones opinions, advice, and knowledge with a grain of salt. no one on here knows EVERYTHING, most of the time with cars its all personal preferece, people have proven time and time again theres more than one way to achieve the same goal with a car. if you are able to weed out all of the criticism and take just one thing from someones post, then it was benificial. and if you dont think what they said is right. then go look it up. because then, you get even more knowledge on the subject AND sometimes you can even prove them wrong.

I bet the reason that this happens is because its the same posts everyday. If people just knew how to use the search the amount of posts would probably be half as much.
I mean in the engine/performance forum someone was asking for a celica header and you told them to do a search instead of helping them. you didnt know but you still posted.
Now you are complaining about other people doing the same thing.
No offense or anything but take your own advice
The people on this site are super nice compared to other car forums. 90% of the time you'll get a response here where on the other forums they're like "search button, dickweed"
were every you go in life you will find people that act as if anything you ask the you should know the answer to already.. Thats life and people just let it go.. On this site most of the time people are as help as they can be.. I know i have been help out a lot on a lot of the questions i have asked.. an i hope i have done the same for someone...
