Hmm.....some passionate opinions here and to the point of being judgemental.
The only being on the planet responsible for my safety is me, and that goes for everyone. I think some "passionate", "judgemental", etc. are, when you read between the lines, folks trying to help each other be safe not tear each other down. Sure, the signal/noise ratio can be higher in here at times, but still lots of good info from all types of people with all kinds of backgrounds and experiences and certainly worth sifting through.
