@p51 posted:As on any forum, there's always a few people whose personalities cause issues like this.
- That guy (not being sexist; they're usually guys) who feels they are the first and last word on anything. No matter how obscure the topic, he has to jump in with his rarified opinion to tell you how wrong you are (because, well, he says so). We have a couple of those on this forum; most of you know who I mean
- The type who look for something to be offended by so they can 'school' others
- I call them "forum cops", but they are the ones who must correct others for the most trivial things (such as hyphenating PRR engine classes that was brought up earlier in this thread). You know the guy asking a question on a PRR road numbers 3750 or 1361 meant K4 when he typed K-4. Does it really matter he put the hyphen there? And do we really need to beat people up over small spelling errors?
- Let's not forget the "I know this, so you shouldn't ask the question" types. Someone asks a question because generally, they don't know the answer. Must people beat up on them for asking? Just because you know the answer doesn't mean they already do. Would they be asking otherwise?
Which type are you?
