I rarely post much tech or product information because it doesn't seem like very many people care. Anyone else kinda get that vibe?

I have also stopped doing tech write-up's due to the crap I receive and the lack of intrest.RockMonkey said:I rarely post much tech or product information because it doesn't seem like very many people care. Anyone else kinda get that vibe?

I really hope that those of you that I have wheeled with have not received the "hollyer than thou" additude from me.

If you saw my post I did say that I really didn't think it was people here who were like that. I have more then once....actually a lot of times ran into groups of high dollar rigs, be it buggies or really well built rigs, who were just plain rude.Hickey said:I would really like to know who you guys consider to be the "Buggy" crowd. Of the buggy owners I know, none are elitist, look down their nose type people. I also don't really know many buggy owners. I can think of 3 that I know personally. Buggy owners all started with a stock vehicle, just like the rest of us. Of the 3 buggy owners I know, they posess the knowledge that I desire most on this site.
On the other hand, I have personally come across people who have buggies that are standoffish toward me or concieted in some other way. NONE of them were a member of RME at the time, so far as I am aware. I seriously think that this buggy crowd hate is a misconception on the "have not" side.
The people who complain are secluding themselves from the rest of the group. If you are oversensitive to the point where you won't bother trying to associate with others who may be in a different social class, then that is your problem.

I also know quite a few of the guys here on RME who own buggies and all of them that I can think of are cool as hell. Some of them I consider my friends.
I still however think that since the evolution hard-core rock crawler there has been a shift in attitudes from the all inclusive,family oriented everybodys welcome feeling to a more exclusive,Im better then you type feelings.
Then what does this all have to do with the reputation of RME?DrMoab said:If you saw my post I did say that I really didn't think it was people here who were like that.

I think you are oversensitive. I for one, would complain if there were a bunch of XJ's in front of me on Rocker Knocker. I would also complain if there were a bunch of TJ's, Land Rovers, or Scouts. Nobody likes to wait for a big group.Geepfreak said:Dr.Moab, I know what you are saying, A prime example of this, was at Rocker knocker last April. I was tail gunning so I got to hear the group that came in behind us(few buggies/several "high" dollar rigs) and when they pulled up, and yes there was a few RME guys in the group, started complaining that they were going to be there forever because it was a bunch of XJ's. as I remember we finished the trail undamaged, and dinked around at the head of the canyon for well over and hour, and they never caught us..so, what made them better than us...? don't know.... Did not know we were in competition with them, I thought we were running a trail.
