This coming from an admitted grumpy old man. I understand that a person has to ask questions in order to learn new things. If you have been around for a while, we all have answered our fair share of questions. I am interested in hearing from the forum about what you think defines an askhole?
My experience: about 30 years ago I raced a 1969 Chevelle, it was street legal and pretty quick for its time. There was another guy hanging around the pits with a 1968 Chevelle. He was inexperienced and had a steep learning curve. Joe would ask me lots of questions about why my car was so much faster than his car even though they appeared similar. I spent many hours showing him my car and explaining what I was doing to it. Joe would also roam around the pits and ask many other racers about their cars. Then he would return back to me and proceed to contradict the things I was doing with my car based on what he heard from other racers. After a while I got tired of having to debate with Joe, so I quit answering questions. I looked Joe up recently and his car is just the same as it was 30 years ago. To me Joe was an askhole.
This is for my educational purposes only and not directed at anyone in particular.
What do you think moves a person from being an inquisitive newbie to cross into askhole territory?
