Subject: I’m not even going to go there!
Being bored out of my mind at work the last few days, I decided to wander into some of the forums. (I know, I brought it upon myself!) And, after reading through some of the threads, I wondered:

Why do people who have no experience to fall back on, or who have shown some improvement in their ability, but still have A LOT to learn, feel obligated to answer training/equipment/whatever related questions???

Really… some people should STOP and THINK before saying, “Gee… I fell into a puddle once so I am qualified to answer a question about swimming efficiency.” (NOTE: That was a fictitious example.)

But, as I said, I’m not going to go there…

I mean, if I were going to go there, I’d suggest that the person answering the question take a quick stop in at the blog of the person asking the question. I know it’s hard to believe, but it is possible that the person asking the question may actually have some experience themselves, more so than the person who feels obligated to answer the question. Hell, maybe even the person visiting the blog could learn a thing or two while there.

But, I’m not going to go there because then I’d get my azz handed to me for being a d1ck, again, and I’d have to put the Big Meanie hat back on!

BTW: This was just a general observation and has nothing to do with the replies I received to my recent posts—just want to make that clear!

Okay, go ahead and fire away if you’d like…

The truly interesting thing is when two people who have their coaching websites linked to their sig lines disagree re: training. 

Truly, you get what you pay for when you ask for free advice over the internet.

CptnJackSparrow - 2007-05-11 12:32 PM  But, I’m not going to go there...

Kinda sounds like you went there...

To me, as long as the advice is good, I don't have a problem with it.

People like to be helpful, they like to show off their knowledge. In a lot of cases, they may be good students, and have picked up sound advice on the same subject and are merely passing it on. A general theme is there really aren't any new questions being asked, just the same things getting rehashed over and over.

It may not mean that one of them is wrong, but rather that there's than one way to skin a cat. But yeah, that is interesting, and int hose cases you can truly learn something useful, because the discussion tends to bo into very great detail.

Yeah...that happens sometimes, but this board is dynamic enough that misinformation gets corrected very, very rapidly. If this board were stale, than it would be an issue, but I don't think there's really ever a case where someone suffers because of incorrect information they've received.

I like the ones that are adamant that their way is the ONLY way and if you weren't such an ignorant cretin you would not question their higher authority on the matter! Those are always good for a laugh.

Interesting timing.  I was just over on another board, reading some of the toxic postings and thinking "Man, they are so much nicer over on BT".  

So when you read these completely useless, inappropriate responses from these people who have no business annoying you with their silly little inexperienced replies, have you ever thought ...  "Hey they're enthusiastic about this new endeavor, and they're just trying to be helpful.  They feel like they belong here, and they just want to be part of the community.  I can't use their advice, but it took me about three second to realize it, and I'm not even obligated to reply to them, so it cost me almost none of my valuable time".

I'm guessing.....no.
