You found and brought a thread back from the dead.....without reading it?

But I think people should be free to estimate or even just guess, on the quality of something they have not heard (the opinion could be valuable or lead to valuable info). |
You found and brought a thread back from the dead without reading it.......then chose those words as your contribution?

After all, this is a public forum and original posters has the opportunity to clarify and ask further questions regarding the responses. Free speech? If the people who ask question are too dumb to clarify things before they buy, are they really the victims? |
Free speech isn't free, never has been, never will be. All thoughts, words, and actions have consequences, be they benign, tragic or in-between. This thread was started in hopes that folks might take a look at what their words are offering to others, asking us to respect each other and this community by not posting unnecessary, avoidable, and potentially harmful crapola. That simple. Your chosen stance in the matter is revealing.
Yes, sometimes (not always) people who are too ignorant, not
dumb, to clarify things before they buy are victims if they don't yet have the experience to sort bad advice from good, and not know who is posting through his or her arse or not.

....telling people to stop commenting on something they have no personal knowledge/experience with is the wrong approach, IMHO. |
Interesting take on freedom of speech: one should be free to degrade the quality of this board, but one shouldn't be free say stop it. Since you've determined my approach to be wrong, I assume you've determined what would be right. Do tell.
