Come on guys. Stop tap dancing around here. How do you really feel ?

I asked the question, is it a compliment or an insult. So its important to understand peoples' feelings about ARFs for me to understand the answer.

So far, I have gathered that many people feel that ARFs are fairly well constructed. And some people feel they are not. So the meaning of "is that an ARF" is really in the intend of the person asking the question. Are they honestly naive ? Or is it a sophisticated stab ? I guess it depends on the character of the person that asks .
I have one friend that flys nothing but ARF's. He asked if it was an ARF. There is no doubt that he honestly did not know what it was. And later another member asked the same question. Only this person is not exceptionally friendly and IS a builder. It was obviously a dig. Followed by the usual string of "why did you________" questions.

I have experience both, a compliment and an insult by the same question, on the same day, by two different people with different personalities.
