Why can't we help?

I've noticed recently that everytime someone asks for help they are attacked and forced to explain their incompetence. Can't we just accept that sometimes we all may need guidance. I thought the forum was made up of people with a wide range of experience from which we could garner assistance. Can we just stop the attacking and maybe help with the problem at hand. Not trying to be negative but I think this discourages people from asking for help for fear of criticism. Just a thought.

From what I have seen... most times the true help and sound advice comes in the form of "tough love"...

Obviously you haven't been here that long. This is the kinder and gentler forums version.

The majority of people that come on here asking for help, receive help. And from more then one person. Besides that dummy in the goat thread - I'd like for you to point out one thread where people with legitimate needs weren't helped. And even that dummy in the goat thread got the help she needed
