You know, if I care enough to take something up as a hobby, I want to be as good at my hobby as I can possibly be. Am I crazy here?

 

Not if it is just a casual observer and not that hardcore about it. Plenty of people like to watch sports that don't really know how to play it.

You're getting close.  Again, you need to back off.

 

You all may be tired of Brick's attitude or his supposed lack of knowledge or what "he offers to the table" on the forum but it doesn't justify going after someone like this, period...

All I did was post a map. Not everyone is as hardcore about this stuff. I am interested in the weather, but it is just as a casual observer. 

I just realized you have 2x as many posts as I do wow

I care more about the end results than the actual science behind it that gets is there. I have said before, I am more like the reporter that reports on a big storm than the met who knows why it is happening.

 

In that case, a good analogy would be:

 

Jon @ AmWx:  Here's the latest 240 EPS.  Mega -AO

Brick @ TalkWx:  <posts AmWx map>...Sounds like business is about to pick up!

Somebody @ TalkWx: <post map>...Temps are cold at 240

Brick @ AmWx:  <post TalkWx map>....Sounds like business is about to pick up!

Maybe. I didn't think that was so bad, though.

It aint the worst.  Just stick to it in the Banter thread though.   If you're going to report in the Pattern thread what you hear someplace else, at least just say something like, "I saw this posted over at X and thought I would put it here".  People get frustrated because you've built your entire posting identity around commentary and regurgitation of others' thoughts.  It's fine for the Banter thread, but it's frustrating in the main threads, especially when you have said you do not want to learn anything.

 

The Banter thread is for commentary and discussion of commentary.

But it wasn't someone else's thoughts. It was just a map. I thought a map showing temps would be fine. It's not too hard to tell from it that it showed cold since it had the temps on it. 

 

And it wasn't done just so I can "look smarter." I was just trying to share info. If it is against a rule, then just let me know. I think there could have been a better way of handling that. People don't have to be mean about it.
