Just because what your assessment of other member's comments/reactions to particular posts on this forum, are correct, it really seems to me that such a "warning" to a new poster, serves no good and IMO, causes more harm.....such "warnings" can clearly frighten off new posters, making them terrified of members on here that could possibly provide some much needed assistance in a potentially dire situation. People wring their hands and moan that some members run newbies off with their direct and blunt advice. Well, such "warnings" as was handed to this newbie, within 10 minutes of her post, and the very first response she received, may have very well not only made her flee this forum in fear of being ridiculed and harrassed, but offered nothing in the way of any constructive assistance. Hopefully, the OP is continuing to read posts from other members that may give her some useful help. |
