Sure thing. Yet an enthusiast who posts in the performance section, aside from the guy asking the questions should know what they are talking about or keep quiet. The misinformation floating around the net ends up costing newbies money, their only mode of transportation, or worse. I'm doing somebody a service by cutting through the BS whether you like it or not.
If I make an enemy because somebody doesn't know what they're talking about, yet presenting their incorrect-to-baseless ideas as facts, so be it. I don't associate with people like that anyway, so it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar.
I would go so far as to say I'm better than most of the members here who go out of their way to call BS first and ask questions (or have to apologize) later. It doesn't matter if someone has or doesn't have, the information that gets exchanged matters. Maybe a year or three from now somebody does a search and finds a wealth of information that would have been otherwise squelched and censured because somebody with 6,000 posts decided to ignore the thread because it was 'BS.'
I'm only here to help, so why don't you make a friend instead of an enemy.
