Honestly I will never b rude but I'm a blunt person who will say something if it needs to be said. I would do so respectfully and if I as given a negative response I probably just wouldn't care because I feel that if you are unable to take advice regarding the care of your animal or get mad because someone tried to give advice then your not someone I really want to talk to in the first place. I woul except someones wrong advice if they cared even if I knew they were wrong just because they cared enough to try. I would let them know they were wrong but that's besides the point. To get mad at advice to me is dumb because at the end of the day thy have the choice to follow it or not. Its not like you got a gun to their head saying do this now or do that now. Its advice and people have the will power to take it or leave it. So it really comes down to who you are talking to. But a genuine person shoulnt respond negatively by you just saying hey just advice and I would like to help and state your knowledge. You can also tell a white lie and go oh I used to do that to until I found this great forum and learned the proper way. By the way here are some other things I learned, tell them about bp.net and put yourself in their shoes so you don't come off as a know it all type because hey we all did start somewhere.
