As sshaw said, and everyone else implied, "don't sweat the small stuff." And no matter how much we might feel differently at times, pretty much everything said on YT is small stuff. It may be helpful (or not), we may like it (or not), we may feel comforted (or NOT) - but in the greater scheme of things, it's all small stuff.
In every thread that I've read that I felt went off in a wrong direction, there were always some posts that would have been helpful, enjoyable or comforting. In fact, I'd say that even in the worst cases, there are more positive posts than negative. Take what's positive and informative and use it. Ignore the rest.
There ARE right answers and wrong answers, but it often happens that one of us might be wrong but deeply and sincerely believe that we're right. You'll just have to sort it out as best you can.
No matter how hard we might try to be otherwise, most of us will occasionally write something that comes across negative - even when our intentions are very positive.
Stick around. You WILL get a lot out of this forum. |
