I wrote awhile ago on here that he should stick to his domain.

I was downvoted big time. Ah, I love it when people provide an example so it can finally be exposed without me having to say anything.

Unfortunately this is a huge problem on here - many people step outside of their domains, even if on the surface it seems simple, but post gibberish and completely mangled stuff. How does this benefit people who get exposed to crap?

If you don't know you are wrong but have an itch to polish your ego a bit then what's stopping you (them), right.

People form very strong opinions on topic they barely understand. I'd say since they know little the opinions come mostly from emotions, which is hardly a good path for objective and deeper knowledge.
