All this criticism for advice and help, given for free, and by people that are knowledgeable in a vast array of different topics.....but apparently not delivered in a cadence or style or speech pattern one finds politically correct or benign......maybe we need to have a "For Adults Only" section, where adults come to ask other adults a question, and then adults respond to the question, offering their knowledge about the topic, possibly actually helping the poster, utilizing adult suggestions and direction, delivered in an adult manner. No insults or belligerence or judgmental criticism, by either person.....just a question/answer session......posters that only appreciate and tolerate "warm and fuzzy", can stay out of the "Adults Only" section. Bold, straight forward honesty is not the same as ridicule, insults, harassment, and condemnation, and should not be considered or misinterpreted as such.....

Your post just hit the nail on the head, Judy!

Of course, it will all continue as is anyway because it is the nature of online forums.
