Why is this posted in a General discussion area? This topic is well covered in the Technical forum and there are also several related threads in the DIY forum.

Different day, same old fail

If this question is such a Newb topic, please point me to where it's stickied in the tech forum.

In the mean time, anyone have experience with more than one of the upgraded mounts? I'm interested in a comparison between the upgraded mounts and the RR mounts. Thanks in advance.

Imagine somebody coming here daily, in fact it is often multiple people daily, asking if not demanding the same information over and over again. We are not your on demand servants. We are people just like you with other priorities and demands in our lives, limited time, our own personal interests for being here, etc. Why should we spend that time catering to people that come here seeking instant gratification?

That leaves us with two options. We can either ignore you completely or we can tell that the info is here if you bother to make the effort. However, over several years of telling people this you eventually get fed up dealing with the continuous stream of people seeking instant gratification yet you still would rather point them in the right direction so you just bark at them to get the point across. Imagine someone coming to your house, going to your living room, pulling their pants down, and taking a dump right there on the carpet just because they didn't know any better. You might be annoyed and yet also understanding because they didn't know any better. Now imagine this being a different person doing this every day. It wouldn't be long before you just as soon they go away and never come back.

Almost every day there is some clueless dolt posting a tech or troubleshooting question in the DiY area, despite there being a sticky thread at the top saying to only post threads there with DIY instructions and subsequent discussion of same. The real issue is that people think they are free to just come here and do as they damn well please and there's no need for etiquette, rules, structure, or organization unless it serves their own personal interest.

Well guess what? We're not here to cater to new uninformed people that come in here trampling all over everything regardless if they're ignorant, just don't care, or whatever. This is like any social community and so if you make waves you better expect to deal with it. If you don't like it then get the f' out because the established community could care less about some newbie whining about not getting what they want immediately. We do care about you clogging up the search engine with useless threads on already established subjects, which there is a dedicated thread on this very subject in this same forum area no less. It took me 10 minutes to explain this. Now imagine multiple people daily requiring it, so you make a Sticky thread at the top that says "read this first" and yet every single new person just like yourself thinks they are beyond trying to fit in properly so that this forum operates smoothly for all of us.

You probably don't read Japanese, but the line in my sig is a well known Japanese proverb that reads "the nail that sticks out gets hammered". You made yourself that nail.

And since you asked, I am 36 years old and 182lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal and I am not king of anything, I just get annoyed by lazy people who think this is a question answer forum and that everyone here likes to repeat themselves over and over. You are not reading or really researching and it is obvious. This is why you are catching ****. It's a public forum, deal with it. Did your read the Megan engine mount thread? Did you read the Mazsport or RR (same freakin' mounts) engine mount thread?

There is a fine difference between asking for your help on how to do something that can be easily searched in the DIY or technical thread, and an opinion based value judgement, which is what I'm asking. Believe it or not, opinions change over time, those super cool, super stiff coil-overs seem great after 1500 miles, but after 15000 miles are all but unbearable. Hence, a thread from 2009 doesn't really fit the bill for what I want. Apparently, this is not allowed if your post count is sub 1000. Funny how you haven't publicly addressed Monchie, who also wanted this info, in the same way. I'm glad you posted that quote from TeamRX8. It shows me just what type of judgmental ****** you guys are. You are presupposing that everyone has the same value system as you, that if they do not, then they are newb losers who can't be bothered to use the search function. Just for giggles I researched "motor mounts" and came up with ~10 hits in 5 pages, half of which were WTB or WTS threads, many of which after that were "are my mounts bad" threads, and only 2 or 3 of which were a discussion. Compare that with the "my engine won't start" search which produces pages of results and I think that this is not a horse beaten to death quite yet. The fact of the matter is that you don't know why someone wasn't able to find a particular thread that you were involved in from years ago. Maybe they just aren't good boolean operators and made an honest attempt. Maybe they have other **** going on in their lives (someone who thinks their engine is blown up might not really be able to glean the requirements from your unpublished forum rules about when a good time to post asking for help is...apparently never as I must assume that you and TeamRX8 require everyone to solve every problem themselves). You two come on to my thread and (incorrectly) fact check me in order to make me look stupid? Okay buddy, well, the next time you're at the Department of Engine Vehicles in San Antonio, give me a call, I go TDY there all the time. We can take an engine boat cruise or better yet, start an RX8 enginecade. I haven't spent 16 years serving my country to be dressed down by some i'nternet tough guy who doesn't know what he's talking about.

done with rant, you're dead to me.
