It was me.
I really do think there's a large nose that many kit builders are starting to look down at others with, which is both sad and predictable. Any time a facet of the hobby declines, those that wish for things to be different tend to drift that way. It's human nature, I suppose. Something we enjoy starts to present us with fewer opportunities, and we blame those who prefer the more popular path. It happened with scratch builders and plans builders, so it's not surprising to see it with kit builders. I'm sure it'll happen with glow users in the not-so-distant future. I already feel somewhat snobbish towards guys who only fly electric, and wouldn't know how to tune a needle. I think I'll have to re-think some of that before this next season.
