I totally agree. Especially since I've started messing with brushless, which I have liked more than I would have expected.

But it is TOTALLY annoying - and provocative - when people make these stupid comments about nitro supposedly "dying" or being "obsolete" (or even just difficult..) - or electric being somehow objectively "better"...

One, this is an insult to people who prefer something else - in this case nitro, but unfortunately have to share the same forum with electric-only people who seem to have a chip on their shoulder about nitro, presumably - no, most likely - because they could never figure nitro out. And two, it's just patently false, so for those of us who are bothered by blatant lies and misinformation, well, it's hard to not say something to try to restore some semblance of balance, objectivity, and truth* to the topic..

I would have never come into this thread blabbing my preferences, and in the process making fun of electric stuff. I only ever do that in response to the elo-fangirl nonsense.

Whatever the case, I wholeheartedly agree. It's a hobby - everybody should do what they want and have fun with it. If you prefer electric, just say "I prefer electric", not "Electric rules and nitro is dying.." Would go a long way to avoiding a lot of the nonsense...

* Yes, it does indeed make things more balanced, objective, and truthful to come into a thread and point out all the things I and others have pointed out on the pro-nitro side, sure - at times a bit harshly, when the electric people start in with their offensive comments.
