Being kind is, of course, something we all should strive for. But also pointing out obvious issues, fallacies in logic or obvious problems in an attempt to help is also kindness with a bit of courage. In fact, I would argue that mere passive kindness actually morally wrong. Active kindness...meaning to try to earnestly try to help people is morally correct. In this case, the OP posted something about having to pay Nikon for advice, yet this forum is perfect for asking advice. It was an obvious omission.
When I was in a relatively high leadership position in my organization, I told my subordinate managers to not treat their underlings like children. I told them to treat them like THEIR children...firm, fair, supporting, teach them, and the worst of all things is to ignore an obvious issue. In this case, the OP may have well (if he is coach-able) slap his palm on his forehead and say, "of course!" and ask the question here.
If I were to have been the OP on this and had a simple brain malfunction and didn't ask the question, I would hope someone would prompt me to ask the question.
Sadly, on this post, people went off the rails quite quickly on unrelated matters. I agree, that is not only unkindness, it is a lack of judgement. OP has a problem. We work on the problem, provide the answer and move on. Simple.

I just want to mention that I had already in the past ask about my problem with not being able to lock the focus point and did not get any answers that would fix my problem. So after asking here and doing a lot of research on the problem I decided to get in touch with Nikon to see if there was a fix and was told I had to pay for help with my problem. I will add that I also researched disabling the toggle button and that cannot be done either as far as the research I have found states. Im not new to photography or using Nikon cameras. My first Nikon was a Nikon F back in 1971 and I have owned and used several Nikon DSLR cameras, all of which had a button to lock focus on them. It seems to me that either one of these options could be fixed in a software update. Hopefully it will get fixed in the future.
