Why do facts and the truth appear to cause you so much consternation?

It's right there in the very first reply. And in reply number 6.
Did you read the entire thread?
hemorrhagic flyer said:Buckaye said:I guess I liken the rude replies to the behavior that really annoys me in some hobby shops... You go in to get a part and the guy looks down his nose at you and says "why would you buy that piece of crap?!?"
Here's an idea... Just say "hey.. I'm not sure you were aware of this better option over here"
I feel like it's even worse on a forum because the snarky response seems to indicate you HAVE to spend your precious time answering a question you feel is beneath you. Well.. You don't.
So someone asks a basic question? What's wrong with politely pointing them to the manual while reinforcing the helpfulness of a hobby forum?
Righteous indignation in answering a simple question simply comes off as douchebaggery to me. Just my opinion I suppose.
1. You have a self-professed inferiority complex based upon your treatment by nerds working in hobby shops. That speaks volumes about your funny replies in this thread.
2. You are jumping to many conclusions (righteous indignation, folks feel they are wasting time, questions are beneath them, etc.) and then responding to what your imagination has cooked up. That's disingenuous, at best. Still funny though.
For someone who proclaims that that "this is just a hobby forum" you certainly seemed to be really worked up.

This is one thread where a moderator should delete everything except the orginal question and kitari's post.

There are no bad/wrong/stupid/or whatever questions.
Welcome to the forum. I have read, re read & the Manuel is still confusing. I have gotten way more from you tube & this forum than the manual. I think Great Pumpkin has a link for a drop box to the Phantom Vision summary guide. I think if you download that, it will be way more helpful than the manual. It has all the topics & links to info & videos pertaining to those topics. I think he is on page 2 of this thread. Happy New Year & welcome again.Milly said:I am dyslexic and find manuals a nightmare, but I feel that doesn't make me a thicko. I have had several goes at the manual and some of it I get, but the forum and YouTube have been much more help to keep me out of trouble and have about ten flights now without incidents that have ended in tears.. I know I have a long way to go to make a competent pilot and find straight forward answers to questions more helpful than having to read through twenty un-associated nonsense. I may be a newbie, but can I encourage people that I annoy with my questions to give me a wide berth as it saves a lot of time and confusion.
