Before You Put Your Foot In It, Do Your Homework!

Wow!

This week has been a real rollercoaster on the WF. I've learnt more than I have at any other time since I joined over 2 years ago.

Today, I've learnt the most important thing ever about forums.

Take nothing as gospel.

Do your own research.

I was one of several people who laid into a longstanding member of the forum because we perceived his behaviour as unbecoming.

Unfortunately, we didn't see the whole picture and we got it horribly wrong.

Because he was a lone voice against a concerted effort by a group he was drowned out.

Finally, one Warrior took the time to research the whole matter and this person was vindicated.

I feel much humbled by this experience and have publicly apologized to this person.

    Well, uh....as i was saying.....uh......maybe i should refrain from commenting on that.......


    my dad taught me a Real man is someone who owns up to his mistakes.

    he also told me when i grow up they will be few and far between...

    so it's good to meet one every now and then

    One of the trickiest things there is, knowing the difference between
    what you know, and what is just an assumption. A lot of assumptions
    are based on what other people are saying, but accepting that
    without a thorough understanding is an assumption.

    The Herman cartoon once had the Tree of Knowledge growing right
    next to the Tree of Commonly Accepted Misconceptions. That was a
    good one and I get reminded about it again and again. I certainly get
    them mixed up often enough, but now put a little more effort into
    trying to keep the distinction between them clear.

    I hundred percent agree with you on this. A person must be prepared completely before venturing in any business. And sound preparation is even more essential in internet business as this is a complicated and comparatively new field of business. There is no scope for mistakes in this business. A person should know the exact steps that he has to take before he starts to walk on the path. Otherwise, he may face many problems.
