I am. We have a lot to offer. I have seen great questions and snide replies, when we could be helping others asking for assistance.
I have learned a tremendous amount from this forum. Certain people have been very generous and kind with their willingness to assist me when I am looking for answers. That is what this forum should be about. There is a lot of knowledge here that can benefit so many.

Well, there are times when criticism is warranted, such as about the Kansas City mother who placed her one-month-old infant into the oven killing it. I believe it is okay to speak badly about her.

Too right. I cannot even read that article. Too sad and agonizing. But criticizing, belittling or making fun of a legitimate question is a bit different.

And totally unnecessary.

I always wonder, when I see people all roiled up (like on the Attic) just how they get through the day. Are they always that way 24/7 or shall we say when they are not sleeping? If so, their blood pressure must be boiling over. We sure can have a conversation about different topics and belief systems and still be civil. I have lots of friends with different political and religious views and we are still friends.
👍👍👍!

Amen! Being rude is one way to keep others scrolling on by your posts.

That would be too painful to read, but YES, it would be hard to say anything kind about her. Probably best not to say anything at all.

Why not call something bad, bad?
If something is good, say so.
If something is bad, say nothing??

No. If something is bad, you can call it bad. It’s how you approach it that determines the desired results. Being constructive is usually a good approach.
Remember where and why this post began.
Being snide and nasty to a legitimate question seeking answers to learn from is a bad approach. Does not teach or endear, it only proves nasty condescension that accomplishes nothing. I call that a bad thing.

Yep. That's me Bill.
My way may not be the right way but I prefer not to say anything less than good. If I don't like something enough to say something good, I just prefer to scroll on by.
I am not a good enough photographer to be a helpful critic, so anything I might say would not help anyone and would probably label me as a nit-picker and I don't really want to be judged as something I am not.
Those who are good enough photographers to help others by critiquing, have at it.
