Tom,

I know you may have taken issue with some of the things said. But there were enough “ifs” placed in key locations to shift things from being accusing to being questioning.

I don’t think we should be afraid to question issues like this. Some might go ahead with a little information, some may prefer to get more information and opinion before going ahead. Different people also have different risk thresholds just like we have different pain thresholds and find different things to be not pleasurable enough to be worth the risk or the risk is too great for them.

Also what might be a closed and well known issue for some might not be so for others even if they don’t include a disclaimer attesting to their gros ignorance of all things at the beginning of a message.

Taking offence and crying judgmental is really, when it comes down to it, a red herring that avoids the issue in question altogether.

I haven’t read every post by WyldWyl outside this thread nor have I been here for a few days but from what I have read I would have to say that what’s been said is based more on fear and erring on the side of caution rather than judging or arrogance.

And I’ll include this here as well, I agree strongly with Tessa and would add that there is also no harm in talking about it and even entertaining the idea that something done might be harmful. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the responsible thing to do.
