No not at all. What I am saying is allow others a chance also. Maybe I am wrong here and time will tell. Yet others like to answer also. I am not the only one that feels that way yet I state it here not hid in a PM! That's all.

I'm confused on the question...
I think it's: Yet it seems to me there are a few people, at all times of the day, who seem to think their answer is the only answer to be up (posted? visible? awake? - I'm unsure if "up" refers back to the people or the answer) at any given time. Anyone else see this? Or is just me?
In other words, some people on this forum think they know best and are contentious when answering and it occurs at all hours of the day. Do I have that right, OP?
And now for my standard copy/paste answer to the "mean people" threads that tend to pop up: It's been my experience that every helpful poster on these forums, every single one, will be called rude, mean, negative, troll, bully, etc. at some point or another no matter how carefully they phrase their advice. Posts like this tend not to be very helpful. When every helpful poster is called out as mean at some point or another, then making a post like this without examples or qualifications just ends up pointing fingers at everyone.
There is some actual rudeness that goes above and beyond what should be acceptable here. Report it (use the actual report function not the flags) or call it out where you see it. But posts like this just add to the negative atmosphere that you're trying to combat instead of solving anything.

Unless and until a thread is closed by a moderator anyone is welcome to also reply and give their opinion or answer in a thread even if someone else has already responded. Plenty of chances to go around for everyone. You don't get brownie points for being the first to respond either.

You phrased it quite a bit better yes.
Though it was not meant as a post to be a mean person at all. I was just stating fact is all. I meant no one any harm. I was stating a fact. That is all. Nothing but fact no matter how bad I stated it. It is fact.

You can always just post what you want and ignore em, although just because they think their answer is the "only one" doesn't mean it isn't also good advice.0

Now,
What was the question?0 -
I am new here. Yet it seems to me there are a few people at all times of the day that seem to think they're answer is the only answer to be up at any given time. Anyone else see this? Or is just me?
People do tend to be abrasive with their views. Meaning, they do not do a great job explaining - just stating. They tend to come back with folks who post bad advice even more abrasive. Take it as a way to learn more, research it, ask about their answer, if you have studies that prove your point (credible studies), then post them to help back up your view point.
