From the forum rules:
Quote:
9. This is a forum, be open to constructive criticism.
This is a public forum and as such, when you post anything at all, be prepared to have other people with lesser and greater skill than you criticize and dissect it. Don't get offended or angry when this occurs, that is the entire point of posting here. Also, when you ask for help, be open to it and don't tell experienced and knowledgeable people that they don't know what they are talking about and being jerks; perhaps they misunderstood, so be diplomatic, or perhaps you just need to open yourself to constructive criticism.
Yes, some people can be a little abrasive with their responses. Yes, you are going to hear things here you'd rather not accept as reality. But the most important thing to remember is that everyone who replies to something you write does so with the ultimate purpose of helping you improve yourself.
Are you going to get bad advice on occasion? Sure. That's a fact on any exchange medium, not just the internet, and certainly not just this forum. It's up to you to develop the intelligence and wherewithall to recognize and ignore it here, just as you surely do in life.
Your boy,
