I have seen some people commenting on forum posts in what I think is at least less than respectful(thinking of one person in particular). The original creator of the thread could be asking something about what went wrong with a spell they did or how to start work in a particular area. The problem I have is when these questions are asked and the response is somewhere along the lines of "the spell is fake/a fluff" or that what the creator of the thread was interested in learning is not possible.

Its all based on what you believe. If you don't believe its possible, I think its simple enough to just leave the thread alone or unanswered. But if you really feel the need to answer or respond, I think its only respectful to state that you don't *believe* its possible (accepting that they may believe otherwise).

I'm sorry if this seems petty, but iv seen this in at least 5 of the firums iv read so far and it bothers me. I've seen a person who just seemed to continuously say "that's not possible," " its not important to learn that," there are no spells on that" and just really downing the person instead of giving a legitimate response to their question. I would understand if they were asking about changing eye color or hair color or growing wings, but those are the kinds of posts I try to avoid and not the types I'm talking about here. Even in that case I think said person should be left go, seeing as how there are multiple places to learn about why they don't work on this site.

One person in particular that iv seen appears to think that he/she is wrong about nothing, that she/he knows everything, and has even commented on a thread that the types of question said person was asking annoyed him/her.

Anyway I wanted to make a general thread about it for many people to see any maybe consider why theyr saying before they say it. I also wanted to make a post for all to see without mentioning any particular names to prevent offense and conflict to a certain degree. I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut, so a statement to the general public I thought could help spread word around.
Offense not intended, nor is everything referring to one person in particular.
