Now, I am not a pro builder, expert, the man behind the curtain or some gypsy witch who lives in the mountains of Kansas.
When I came here in July, I thought the forum was good, some sticklers and such, but hey. You get that wherever you go. Sometimes you just have to ignore the "haters" and focus on the people who give you actual good advice.
Say I am a new builder. New to the forum, hobby, everything. I post my first model. Orange peel, glue on the windshield, crooked wheels, undercarriage barely painted.
If I get a response of:
"This model sucks. Build better before you come back"
and
"Try to be more careful with the glue and also make sure you paint everything. And don't forget the driveshaft!"
Would you say someone will be more likely to stay and try to make a better model for response A or B. Most likely B. It's easier to drive someone away than to make them stay.
