I totally agree with OP,
Unfortunately this was the main reason I started backing off a bit from the forums,too many noobs that either wanted to show off their frankens (like if you become elite if you own an expensive franken) or wanted all the attention from everyone,and when they got criticized they became offensive like spoil brats..
I'm glad it's not just me noticing this, but sad if this is our future. Some of the noob's REALLY can't take what they perceive to be criticism, but really is simply constructive useful information. And, they won't back down! They literally respond to each and every post back to them in a sarcastic manner. Very entitled!
