Almost seems like he/she are indirectly calling you an idiot while trying to give you advice. I just ignore those types. I don't know everything and don't try to make it look that way, and i don't need people making me feel stupid when i ask a question. Like i said its very rare, and Im very happy about that. Makes this a great forum to be apart of.
With a strong feeling I am at least a part of your conclusions/comment here, I would like to say this, jord. Attitudes here are a lot more prevalent than noted, but that is a whole nother issue, as I am only able to be responsible for my own part of it. Where I grew up, if I ever really did, it was vital to say what needed saying as short and direct as possible, mens lives depended on it, and diplomacy was a very distant matter. I actually now envy those who are more "heart to heart" than "right between the eyes", but, once you've been there, it's pretty hard to shake. I am certainly no diplomat, although that is one part of me I wish could be corrected in some way, and who knows, maybe someday it will, I truly hope so. In the mean time, I'd like to apologize if I have appeared to be rude and judgemental, while intending to try and be helpful. I feel there is nothing more important than offering youth as much of the good as possible, and to hope they will be willing and able to do something good with it.
No man your not one of those guys. I see you posting all the time, and haven't read anything rude... Yet. Joking lol. 99% of everyone here are great people. Just get the odd one that's a jerk. And I don't have a problem with others being stern/firm with other guys. Sometimes its needed. Like you said, short and sweet. But its not too difficult to be firm and polite. I guess some guys just don't care.
