Welcome Becky. RCC can be a fun place, mostly it's a place to make new friends and share our mutual obsessions. A thick skin and the ability realize that nothing said on the internet should be taken to heart (or even very seriously) can be a big help.
Though like any other site, sometimes the reality of the internet does kick in, and childish behavior ensues. Most of us try to ignore the drama when it crops up, and take it for what it is, people just venting their frustrations in one of the few relatively safe outlets available to them.
You don't need to be tech savvy here. Some are very knowledgeable, others less so. It doesn't really matter. The site is as much about meeting fellow rotor loving people as it is about the cars. We try to help each other out to the best of our various abilities.
Heck, we even tolerate (on sufferance) the heathens that put piston engines in our beloved RXs.
