And what if believe your advice to be good, becasue you have tried it and it works? To say 'dont give bad advice' is to inflict people with doubt and leads to the public not wanting to try and help, lest their best efforts to assist a fellow player be mocked and scorned. Advice that works may not be in the pristine style of another and be considered bad becasue of some frivilous thing as whether to put the { at the end of the conditional check line of code or on a new line. Such arrogant comments easily become fear tactics that can lead to silence from those who would otherwise say something that could be useful to the person requesting help.

Stop being such jerks - you know who you are - and try being decent.
And im sorry for calling you jerks but how else will i get your attention?
