You must admit though, that there will be controversy when someone refers to those at both endpoints and everyone in between with the same term.

As I said earlier you read into/imagine intent that wasn’t there or intended. And what made you thing that I was singling you out, unless you are one of those know it all types that I also referenced? I was making a general statement trying to convey a general idea and if you read the rest of the post I did acknowledge that I enjoy following so called rivet counter threads as well as their work and admire them for it. I don’t begrudge how anyone wishes to pursue the hobby.
To be clear it is not the addition of extra details, the in depth research or the corrections that I have issue with. In fact, I clearly state that I admire those things and those who make those efforts… What I do have issue with is the snarky attitude that I have personally encountered on numerous occasions. I know the difference between constructive criticism and condensing attitude.
Well… this thread is giving out all sorts of negative waves.

Yeah. Not exactly what I intended but people will believe what they want to believe and there is no dissuading them I guess. Interesting how it touches such a nerve in some people though. Eh,se la vie.

You mixed up your replies. It was SdAufKla who said “I took your comments and criticisms to be directed squarely at me . . .” I guess it was his nerve you figure got touched and you meant to say to him that perhaps he sees himself as one of the know-it-all types, eh?
I never said or even thought you were singling me out. I was objecting to your general statement / general idea / broad-based smear.
Please keep digging though. I’m sure the way out is about four feet farther down . . .

Why can’t you just take me at my word and believe that I opened this thread out of curiosity. You presume to much.

I may be late to the thread, but I am kind-of in the middle. When looking at others’ builds, I am no snob. As a modeler on the lower end of the skill spectrum, I appreciate almost everything. When building, however, I would like to be accurate, and have been doing much research to at least have a mostly realistic model. I am not to the point where I have to have the most realistic AM parts (largely because of budget) but I do appreciate realism/accuracy.
