[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3013273, member: 36230"]Believe it or not, I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, and I ask with absolute sincerity, perhaps you could share your thoughts as to when enough is enough? I don't catch every thread here, but very rarely do I see anyone excessively tear into a sincere newer member, and this includes those reasonably questioning the explanations they've been given. Yes, there certainly have been instances where just this has happened, but is more the exception than the norm imo. Generally speaking, it's those who refuse to even consider what they're told, do not want to be mentored, and insist upon ignoring the "[I]actual diagnostic criteria[/I]" who end up feeling the wrath of those genuinely trying to help them. It is my opinion that such people have absolutely no desire to learn, engage in respectful discourse, or ever become a beneficial part of this hobby. This considered, what damage is done by returning the favor and/or giving a taste of their own medicine? Once someone has shown that they do not care about nor appreciate the fact that a knowledgeable individual has willingly dontated their time to help them, they're no longer worth the effort. If you'd like an example of the type of person I'm taking about, please check out a "Mr. Waggers" thread. Again, I'm asking in total seriousness and simply because our views are most likely to be changed by those willing to challenge them.[/QUOTE]
