Please read especially new people

I dont know if this is the proper place to post this and Im not sure if its been discussed but Ive noticed a whole lotta times where people are dissagreeing with other people on my and other peoples posts. If you dissagree with "Moe" about something then please dont post that on my post. "Put it on Moes" post. You are causing people to get low scores because you didnt agree with someone and I dont want people thinking I cant give good advice. Thank you.

aqua@home : Excellent point!
CaptainForest : Good point. I didn?ÇÖt know people were doing this, but I agree. Disagree with the appropriate person.
Jesushelper76 : I was not aware of that happening a lot. Like you said it is more for newcomers to learn.

Well, that is all in the scheme of things. People agree and disagree, that is life. But in the grand scheme of life we all learn and take something different from each and every answer.

I agree that it "stinks" that people disagree here, but we all learn something in the process.

I know I have.

I think she was saying, it's fine to disagree just make sure you are doing it on the right response or post. Maybe?

yeah a little confusied as well, the wording really threw me off. I think you were right aqua, I belive she might have been saying just because you disagree with someone don't always lower their posts????? Make sure you lower the post you disagree with??? That was my interpretation anyways.

Perhaps it is possible for the head honchos to make it so that someone who makes a comment can retract it. Since mistakes do happen from time to time, it would be nice that if I accidentally disagreed with the wrong post I could delete it and put it where it belongs.

Well, I personally feel it's an immature thing to do. As adults, I think we should learn to agree to peaceably disagree. The people who challenge us the most are the ones we stand to learn the most from. I feel, if you have nothing good to say to someone, just don't say it. Perhaps some people do it simply to be spiteful, but I think Abraham Lincoln said it best in the words, "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends." No better way to invalidate a perceived adversary.
Just my thoughts on the matter.

J_9 : I think your thoughts are perfect!!

I refer people to this thread:

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/feedbac...ure-24951.html

which discusses guidelines on how and when to use the Comments feature. That's what appears to be the focus of the OP.

People can disagree with matters of opinion. That's just part of life and free will. That is always going to go on whenever you have a discussion on opinion. However, if you disagree with a matter of opinion, just add a post to the thread offering your disagreement and an explanation.

IMHO the Disagree choice in the Comments feature should be used ONLY when pointing out dangerous advice or correcting or factually incorrect answers.

One other point. the choices offered are I Approve and I Disapprove. These show up, however as I Agree and I Disagree. While these are similar they are not the same.

Comments on this post
Thomas1970 : Excellent guidelines.

This is what I meant: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/languag...tml#post127234

A dissagreement that was meant for someone else was made on my post. Not the first time something like that has happened either. There is also problems with people agreeing on someones post and putting that in the wrong place too. I know people make mistakes but its happening waaay to much.

Im sorry you guys I just dont know how to put it in the right words. I just assumed everyone would understand. sorry

Well that is kind of a hard one. It looks to me like Marj Ann used the comment feature to answer instead of replying. So Susy was forced to use the same feature to correct it. Interesting discussion on idiomatic and cultural usage though.
