I'm diving into a pool of devoted Corvette fanatics asking them to endorse something they absolutely do not approve of, in fact it fly's in the face of the purist notions they live to espouse. The most devoted will simply recoil at the notion of desecrating their beloved Corvette by mixing it with parts of another car.
Now if I went to a site where they discuss building completely custom cars, no rules, the design and end product are all that matters....I could expect to be well received. They don't have the protection of their one true love at heart. They live for and love the new creation, the thrill of something not seen before. It's simply a different mentality, a different set of social rules. |
I can understand what you are trying to convey with your analogy. Everyone has their passion and that is what makes people individuals, allows for discussions etc.
I have been looking around at other forums and unfortunately with some of the posters on here, YT has a quite a bad reputation for attacking people.
It was shocking to see other post at these forums about this. I do not believe the intent is to chase away people and only to educate others but there is a fine line.
