I don't mind a good internet spat every now and again. I've had a few myself. They happen. But I've also learned that nothing good ever comes of it except someone eats a lot of popcorn watching it all unfold.
Best advice I can muster: If you're an adult, then act like an adult while engaging others. Ignore people who act like an azzhat, and your life will be much easier to navigate. IRL or on the webs. If you think someone's questions are dumb or stupid, then either ATFQ or STFU. Telling someone who asks "stupid questions" that you think their questions are stupid isn't helping. Resist the urge. Poking fun and joking around is perfectly fine, but there is that subtle line of being disrespectful. There's also the action of inaction. You can always choose to keep quiet.
I don't care anymore. I know enough to get me by and fix my junk. If I want to learn something from someone and they start acting like an azzhat, there's a 98% chance I can get that same info or better from someone else. So no matter how good you think you are, you're likely not. This isn't meant as a slight toward anyone. I'm just saying it how it is.
That said, this site has a collective G-body IQ off the charts. You want to mod something? Ask. Someone's likely done it to their car. You want to restore something or figure out how to take something apart? That's probably covered too. From basics to full customs, this is the place to go for all your G-body needs (I better say "RWD G-body" or that guy and his FWD Buicks might show back up).
I can put up with children and childish behaviors for a bit. But the thing that stops me cold, where I draw the line, is when someone starts talking about their "Cutty" (That other "C" word). Makes me cringe. When I hear or see that, I know the intellect level just flew off the cliff. So I don't even bother engaging any further. I couldn't care less, even if I have the solution in hand. I'm no longer interested once that word comes up. I consider it a "safe" word. You're on your own after that.
