Why do I keep getting treated like a newbie in my own sub-forum?

How many pages of Pablo's Builds are there so far, and counting? 8. How many unsatisfied customers? None.

 

I don't deserve to be disrespected. Done my best to be helpful, respectful, and polite to all. I know not everybody likes me. That's fine. And I'm aware I don't "know everything" and I'm not "the best". But this micro-management continues.

 

At what point will I stop being treated like a newbie? It seems to be a constant point of angst for me. I'm NOT the only one. 

If your ears are not burning, don't worry, I'm not mad. I have a solution for me - my new thread. Right here, right now.

 

From now on, if you make a post in my sandbox that fits in this category, I won't cry, or complain, or whine to my SB friends who have the same problem. I will simply move it to this new thread.

 

My goal is for us all to get along and be happy. By no means am I wanting to alienate my fans. Discussion is welcomed as usual. You can criticize my works, and/or offer suggestions, no problem.

 

But if you want to label me a "wanker" in my own sub-forum, this is the place to post it, right here. I won't censor you unless it violates SB policy.

 

Fair enough?  :)

In days gone by we had The Wankers racing team and Wanker Valley Raceway in Lake Barrington, IL, so wankerism isn't such a horrible thing in slot car racing.

I totally understand. I had a thread on another forum (Build Thread). Most 99.9% where very appreciative of my time and shared information, but there where a few that tried to tell me that, I was wrong and tried to convince others I was. People sometimes can be total $#%%$^&$&&!!!!!!!!!!! Ignore them and keep doing what you do, you do amazing work.

If we're going to have wars on here, I'm going back to doing 100% woodworking. I have the tools & can do it by myself without leaving my home. :scratch_one-s_head:

I can guarantee there will be no "wars" here. And, if you want to post woodworking you can put them in this thread  :)

Don't let 'em get to you; most see and understand your skills!  I've said for years that our little hobby is over represented by pedants and anti-socials, and nobody can tell me any different as I answered the phones at Professor Motor for several years.  You just wouldn't believe some of the calls...
