Isn't it odd?......

That has some validity to it but allow me to give my thoughts. In many posts seeking help the original poster is actually seeking help. You or someone will help him he will apply the advice and he's back on the road. This happens a lot so no need for 4 pages. If its a woman then yes it becomes a social event. Can't blame a young scooterist for trying. If he argues with sound advice then more of us will chime in instead of just looking to make sure he got a decent answer. We will let them know that poster x is right and they should listen we do enjoy arguing as I think it helps to think about things we know and expands our understanding even it the OP never gets it.

I understand what you are getting at though and yes we need to try as a forum to be always helpful no matter who or what the person in need is

but i will also make this comment

alot of the noob's and even alot of u
think they know everything about scoots
well unless you have worked on 'em alot
you dont know a thing
its not a car or even close
so when the noob starts 'arguing'with a answer
well then it turns into a p match
cant make 'em understand that you, him w/e have years of experience
and know what your talking about

and really, this and the other site is full of kids, who we all know, know everything.
if i answer a post i always try to say i am NOT a mech just a rider,
listen to so & so they know what the F they are talking about

but you cant make people do that
and you all have seen it 100 x's the ones that want to learn listen, follow advice

you sorta learn who is for real about wanting help and who isnt

I agree heartily and will work on my attitudes but, I think the words are "Physician heal thyself"

There is a whole Christians are stupid tirade in that thread. There are days when you rampage through the whole forum nastily. Any way I do agree and hope you actually mean it.
