hi JP, how come it says you joined April 20l0. I thought you had been here longer then that ? Is this a mistake or you are just an old soul ?;)

He's not the one you are thinking of. This is the guy: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member...shelper76.html

I agree, the username of the OP is misleading for us who have been here a long time.

HI, If you read my sigy you'll see what my responses are to those who ask, I got a reddie or 2 before, oh well, in the end,I believe in what I write, if it's wrong,I expect someone to correct me(if they can, hehe) and otherwise, it IS A FREE SITE, if we tell someone to pour gas on themselves and light a match, it's THEIR decision to do this, same as in the real world.

Sadly KBC a lot of troubled people wind up on these sites asking for help from anonymous people - some are so easily swayed that they might take the gasoline advice.

Understandable, but who's going to say something like that anyway.

My point being,we have no control over how others are going to take our information,we can only be responsible for OUR offer,not their interpretation or use of it.

We can't police others advice and expect the OP(or whoever) to see our way every time.

Reddies are our only fallback I guess.

The OP and Jesushelper76 are the same person, just with a fresh start :)

Thanks for the heads up though I don't get the point of the "fresh start"

I just smile and nod! :D

Hello Joe:

You should spend some time on the legal boards. If dangerous advice is given, and it IS all the time, we do NOT let the answer go unchallenged. To me, the value of that kind of discussion, is that the OP has an opportunity to see ALL sides of a question. I think that's a lot better than just hearing one or two posts that agree with each other.

But, in the final analysis, we can't control what the OP'll take away from this site. I don't know why. I've been telling people how to save the world for YEARS, yet the world STILL needs saving.

I think it's because some people get a little weird with their expert titles and greenies...

It's the advice that counts whether you have 2312314 greenies or just 1.

Either way back to Joe's original question:

Bad or good advice people are still going to take the advice they want. If someone came on here want to kill themselves, whether you say go ahead or don't do it it'll be up to them.

When I ask a question, I still pick an choose which one I want to hear-- hell I bet we all do it.

Either way we're here to help... sometimes our advice sucks (even the experts), I know mine isn't always great.

Anywhozzils that's my 2 centavos.

[Aurora_Bell]

Good point, here 100,000 virtual greenies! :)

What to do about people who constantly give dangerous advice and advice that could very well be deadly to someone?

Besides reporting and giving disagrees? What else can be done?

What we can do, and what any knowledgeable member should do, is call them on their advice. Sure you get a reddie but you have saved the thread from becoming a potential disaster. That is, if you happen to come across the thread and notice what is going on.

I think if a person gives bad advice ,while others give good advice.. let them show some facts
To back up their advice.

I don't mind getting a reddie if it's helping someone. As tick
And Muddy said who cares about a reddie if you give accurate advice.

I never said that.. get your facts straight.

Haha just kidding.

This post was irrelevant.

I've got a handful of reddies my first one was from KCTiger.. or was it Romefalls. I was new here. I was being bratty.. haha Now we laugh about it. Well we did a long thread ago.

I got a reddie from dazed , after he asked the same advice 200 times.
Oh well, I gave reddies when I first started here. I thought they were
Something like and M&M or a Starburst. I asked what SFTW meant and I thought the answers were a little mean. Those people forgave me (I hope) Now when someone ask something stupid ,I want to reach through my laptop, grab them and smack them and say STFW
Wow.. too much coffee today:eek::D

Okay.:eek::eek:.. Thanks! The advice we give is accurate as we perceive it.Then you have some of the newer members who c ome along and want to tell someone something totally different.

I think the bad information is given because some people have never experienced a break up or a divorce. Or spousal abuse etc. They speak from inexperience on things they know nothing about and derail the folks who are trying to give accurate information!:)
