Oh, like the poster you encourage might not appreciate it? That's true. What do you do if you're worried about what might happen to a friend in your "real" life and you don't think they'd appreciate what you'd like to suggest?

I agree. Trying to change my behavior has certainly led to some pain and frustration! But I thought posters were in general pretty open to input from other posters?
