Lol just because we're "veterans" doesn't mean we know everything. We all started out not knowing what to do and turning to others for help. I did it, I'm sure Slim did it too. The issue lies in when the person asking for help (or "hypothetically" asking for help) goes ahead and ignores all the advice they're given. It happens a lot, when you've been on here for a while. The people that understand that we're worried for their snake and just want the best for them go on to stay and do well. Those that argue and fight and pretend they know better (even though they don't and that's why they've come and asked for help) seem to leave and not come back.
The difference lies in not the advice given but in how the advice is taken. Declaring people rude simply for providing advice based not on personal proof, but experience and years of being exposed to other herpers and their problems puts you in the second category I described above. Yelling at people and calling them rude simply for trying to help, and then getting mad when they get frustrated is pretty silly.
But no, go on and keep calling us rude. You're the one demanding advice and evidence then not accepting it because it doesn't find your narrow definition of what constitutes actual evidence.
