Without speulation I can say that just from my own POV there is a nasty edge to a lot of the posts from a pretty regular group of waterheads. They seem to be pompous and self absorbed type of posts...generally spending their wit defending themselves and attacking what they see as weaknesses in other's reasoning or response. It's drama plain and simple...a way to pass the day and amuse one another. The problems arise (IMO) with all the overinflated egos. There's a kind of Hubris that is really grating on those of us that didn't start doing this a few months ago. This pedestal sitting and gloating in the ill found praise of those entirely lacking in experience is more than annoying..it detracts from the spirit of the Forum. It's not about Excess...it's about Extreme. There is nothing Extreme about throwing a ton of money at a rig...although an Extreme rig may cost a ton of money...and I think all the Dr. LongDollars, and Wannabee Richboyz leave a fetid aroma for the rest of us to wade through just to try and glean a few kernels of wisdom from an LC thread.

In short it's been a drag.
