You would probably enjoy quilting or needle point because the ladies are so much nicer. I`m insulted by your generalizing and grouping model railroaders in one negative catagory. Do you like everybody in your neighborhood or at work? I`m sure you`ll find one or a few you don`t like. Does that mean that you`ll move from the neighborhood or quit your job? There are other ways to get educated on the hobby without even visiting a forum. Why deprive your son of a great experience to build something fun and to be with his dad because you didn`t like what someone said in a moment of passion. Model railroaders are passionate about the hobby,and some get carried away. Also if you read carefully,other model railroaders jump into the discussion list when somebody gets out of line or accidentally gives the wrong information. We pretty much police ourselves and the editor will jump in if things get too out of hand. Check some of the other sites and you`ll find this one pretty tame next to others. I`m just sorry you`re blaming the hobby for the comments of a few very passionate railroaders(much better than saying bad apples). I would recommend visiting a model railroad show near where you live and meet people in the hobby face to face and then decide what kind of people that are interested in the hobby,or be a guest at a model railroad club meeting. I know you`ll be impressed with some of the people you meet. I sure hope you reconsider getting into the hobby for your sons sake. Thanks, Gerald
