Everyone hiding their head in the sand. :roll: They've explained their reasons plenty of times. At this point it looks far more likely to be the other way around.
How's the saying go? If you meet someone who disagrees with you you met someone you disagree with. If *everyone* disagrees with you consider that you might be wrong?

Something like that...
The person who came up with that saying evidently didn't put much thought into it. It's very possible that everyone else is wrong haha.

Sometimes i'm wondering why you hijack all topics ?

Luckily someone answered the original question long ago.

Yes, they did. Are posts that ask a question supposed to stick to answering the question, or are developments allowed as long as they fit the topic?

And if someone asks help on how to do something that could be seen as problematic, should we be content just answering their question, or should we also care about explaining to them why what they are trying to do might be problematic?

Or maybe you have a too literal or naive interpretation of the saying... It's almost always intended as an argumentum ad populum. There's not much reason to say it unless you are trying to imply the person is in fact wrong, not just "might" be wrong.
