But when people are clearly having problems with their k series cams
I read that thread in entirety. And I agree with that statement as well as with chunky, the OP. He had problems with 3 of the exact same cam that S2 kept replacing for him. And multiple other people did as well. There was a problem present, one that it seemed from Skunk2's responses (which were cryptic and confusing at best) was being worked on. And even though Chunky had problems before, he didn't view Skunk2 negatively, probably because HE WAS CONTACTING THE COMPANY ABOUT IT. They were sending him replacements and obviously he was in contact with them before that thread started. Most other people just have a problem and start the flaming.
The problem with that thread is the moronic input from half a dozen thread-jackers that turned a "does anyone have suggestions on this problem" thread into a "Skunk2 is Junk2, I have a friend of a friend who's also had problems, Junk2 can kiss my ass" thread.
SignalPuke started by saying he had a similar problem, then just started flaming, a couple others didn't even admit to having experienced any such problem just lit it up like a Christmas tree. I mean, the NSX forum thought signalpuke was an idiot, but for some reason none of the other forums came to that conclusion.
I don't condone Skunk2's bounty idea, but at the same time, people need to realize that the internet isn't really that anonymous. You can't just spew whatever you want and get away scott-free. There's people that are infinity good at tracking down information... I've seen 4Chan do it a few times.
Very few of us are this ballsy in person. I'm a person that is generally nervous about posting because there's a chance I could find myself face to face with you at a meet someday. I'm not an asshole, and I really doubt most of the douches on H-T that have weighed in on this issue are either, they are just enjoying the drama of it all, want to be included, but know that any kind of supportive comment will lose them some of their street cred.
I make unpopular decisions all the time, I like to have my forum's support on stuff, but if I don't it's not the end of the world. It doesn't hurt you if I buy junk parts, it doesn't hurt me to watch you spend $4000 on a suspension setup. I never will, but I will genuinely think your setup is cool and hope that I get a chance to ride in it someday. I won't make you ride in my car if it offends you or you feel my cheap parts constitute an unnecessary risk to your well being.
