How should I handle MLC direct lying?

[Cadet]

Why do you keep starting new threads each time another question comes up? You have a thread in MLC. Put it on that thread.
Stick with one thread and you will get better results.

To answer your question stay dark! If he does work have no expectations.

Is it normal for the MLCer to withdraw for friends and family too?

Yes

I assume the friends and family should not try to give advice, etc?

No they should not, and you should try not to ask them.

Have you read the resources?

What are you doing for amg?
