Of course.
I wonder how many people have stopped writing here, or asking questions (about Photoshop) because of getting put down by others? Not just those who seem to be here to do that (and somehow feel better about themselves by doing it) But, those who like to make out they know more about the topic and anyone who asks a question is dumb.
I used to go on a tech support group that said up top "there are no dumb questions, just some are easier to answer than others" (something like that)
I remember when I was first learning how to make webpages, I’d ask questions no one could answer because they were so dumb (LOL) Like "where is page 2?" But, when someone is new and doesn’t k now (or even old and comes across something they don’t know) it’s hard to even explain. And sometimes the answer is right there.
years ago, i took a class on photography
paid my fee and sat down to hear the teacher
and learn. sure enough, two classmates, sitting
in front row, began interrupting rhe teacher with
their superior knowledge, they quiclkly got off the
subject , and i got confused. Well, i took it for two
or three sessions. and finally blew my top. I stood
up in class, loudly announced, with vulgar words, and said i wanted these interruptions stopped. I paid for this class and if it does not stop, i will file a formal complaint to the school authorities.. the class was completely silent,
including the teacher, the teacher, red faced, announced "lets begin again". the two smart asses were silent throughout the remaining classes, and I learned
the other classmates nodded with approval
we have to speak up when necessary,
and tell others where to GO. If someone else
doesn’t like it "TUFF LUCK"
