Criticizing

Posts: n/a
I have noticed quite a few posts lately hating on installs. It seems that these people doing the hating don't like posting under a real name or giving out their real name. They never include any constructive criticism, saying what they think could make it better. It's not just CCA, it seems to be on all the car audio boards. These people never ever seem to have pictures of stuff they do better. Dave from seems to be the recipient du jour, but it happens with all installers. DAve and I aren't the best of friends, we disagree on many things. But I think Dave will say that at least we respect each other and each others opinion. What would these car audio boards be like without people like Dave posting pictures of their work? Is that the goal of the 'haters'. Because that is a dumb goal, and they would be better served by finding out what class the supposed 'crappy' cars are in and beating them. That at least would show that you are willing to back up what you spew on internet forums. I have had a few beers tonight, so I am sorry if this upsets anyone in any way, but I am sick of people picking installs apart malicously (that's for professional installers to do at shows [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Some people feel the need to always make some type of a comment and they don't always have the nards to come right out and say it, they hide behind their snide comments and inuendo's...............
If you don't have the ***** to say it out right people should just shut the **** up................

Even when people say it outright, most times it doesn't need to be said trying to tear someone down. "A truly great man will try to elevate the overall level of skill by helping other's to achieve the same level of greatness."
It's ok to say "i don't like this or that" but always encourage and offere other ways to do it as well. But don't come across like there is only 1 way and its yours.
"It takes someone more intelligent to recieve advice and actually profit from it, than it does to dispense said advice."

good point. i worked with a car audio manager at visions in langley a while ago and he was just like that, critizised everyone eles work. i questioned him on this and he replied, well if no one tells them whats wrong, then they will never get any better. well thats true but is it my place or his to critizise. maybe it was the installers first ever attempt, maybe he did it over one evening, maybe he had no money and couldnt afford the bling bling accessories, and had to use carpet, i believe, and all my friends will back me up on this, in pointing out what is good in the install first and maybe after talking politely to the owner/installer, you will discover why he did this or that. i think, now i am just going out on a limb here, that most of the critizism is comming from a younger group of people or people that havent got that much experience actually "doing" the work, but know what its suppose to look like. remember that "critizism is the young fools crutch". same goes at the hockey rink, i find that the big mouth parents who always critizise the kids, are the ones that have never actually "played" the game but have "watched" for yrs, which now makes them pros. did someone mention beer!!

I agree, but let's not scare people from giving their opinions either. I hate a big luv-fest when the work is actually junk........ people cuddling up to installers and licking their toes. *yuck* People should be allowed to voice what they think. I just think that there's a lot of people that don't know how to post comments with any sort of tact or respect.
