To asnwer your question, the obvious answer is of course, no, there is no reason why people cant be polite and accept other's oppinions, especially on a public forum since different oppinions is what we all came here for originally...
I've learned the hard to way not to try to control everything and everyone, and to me it seems that some people need more work in that area still. I dont have anyone particular in mind saying this but there have been some occasions when I was amazed how hard people were trying to convince others, "their approach is the right one". Even if it was, different people have different timelines and level of maturity by which they take in "advice", and their emotional state is defining alot their reactions. I say this judging by myself.
And although I share the idea of helping others -"newcomers" save themselves time and heartache, and I have often spoken my mind even when I knew it wouldnt be well accepted, I never take it personally when people disagree or ignore me. It's their choice and their life.
No one that is here can claim to always be right, he/she wouldnt be here if that was true, no? A good exchange of views, with respect and politeness can benefit everyone reading.
