I think a couple of things that should be added is based on attitude, like checking the bad attitude at the door and having an arrogant mannerism.
If you're having a bad day, time, whatever, it may be best not to post anything. If you're pissed 9 out of 10 your going to post that way and it will come out in the words / language you use. So before coming on, take a 5 ~ 10 minute breather (hard to do with kids), calm down then log on. If you still have the bad attitude don't post, come back another day.
If you're pompus, think you know everything about G-bodies or cars in general, it's not going to gain you or anyone here anything. Most people here want to learn about their car, other cars, what works/ doesn't or just hang out. Nothing messes this up more than someone who comes off as a know-it-all, better than everyone else. A lot of the folks look to the knowledgeable people on this forum are our encyclopedias and the majority of us appreciate the experience, because as some said before, everything ain't in the book, and God help you when the book is wrong. But acting as though others aren't worthy of you because you know more is bad all around.
I think this also ties into people thinking they're "better" than someone else because they've owned more vehicles, spent more money, have better paint, yada-yada-yada. I mean, even those who may have what are POS's, even admitting they're a POS, it's still their pride & joy. Again, one person's trash is another's treasure, and degrading someone for it shouldn't have a place here.
Again, check the attitude and stuck-upidness (is that a word :? ) and it should make the forum better.
Moderators, can we (or do we) have a thread like this in the Buy/Sale section? There's been more than a few happenings over there where something like this would help.
