·What happened here please?
I thought this is a forum where members can discuss and exchange on watches or ask questions that can be answered by other members.
Questions are simply an important part of this forum and answering them very often leads to new insights for everyone involved.
A question was not asked politely or exhaustively enough? So what? If you don't like a question or the way it was asked, you don't have to answer it. Everyone can decide for themselves. But whoever responds to a question should be polite and respectful of the other. Answering rudeness with rudeness is certainly not the way to go.
From a single question (that I have not seen myself), this thread has become a debate (and partly a dispute) that I am not used to in this forum. In my opinion, personal disputes should be resolved via pm.
After all, questions similar to those of the OP are asked every day not only by new, but also by more experienced members who have also not really dealt with their problem themselves, sometimes. Despite this, most of the time, the answers are constructive and helpful.
I think this constructive culture and friendly way of dealing with each other is one of the reasons why OF is a wonderful and perhaps unique place...
