You're right.  They could be supplying false information, so my source (that user) could be invalid.

... using either pronounciation of "invalid"!

Nominal Animal:
It is also quite sad.

In forums like this one, others do not react to you as a person; they only react to what you have written.
Even when there is hostility and ridicule, it is not really personal, it cannot be; it can only be directed towards what has been written.

Changing the details of how one communicates is not too difficult.  Some traits, like me with my excess verbosity, can be difficult to get rid of, but when you understand that your output has details that rile up others, you can deal with it, and occasionally even change those details, so your output causes less discord.  (Pun intended.)

Becoming bitter, and trolling when others –– like myself; check our interaction history, Faringdon! –– are only trying to help you and those in the same position, is waste of energy, and more likely to drown yourself in depression and insecurity than do anything positive for anyone, even yourself.

The funky thing is, you can always just change directions, change details of how you communicate, and you'll be welcomed back to interact with others.

Think about that for a moment, and reflect on what that means about your (general plural you, meaning "all of us members on this forum") own interactions with others.  You can always simply choose to interact in a mutually beneficial way, and do it.  (Okay, sometimes we all fail, but all that is necessary is a Mea culpa, sorry: I misunderstood/miscommunicated and go on.)

Even if you vehemently disagree with some others about some specific detail, it is not a big thing.  It is perfectly okay to argue with them about that in one thread, and in another –– even concurrently –– have a very nice agreement on another.  This is how we evolve our understanding, by finding out the reasons why we disagree through discussions, and continually evaluate those reasons comparing them to our own, and therefore also evolving our opinions as our understanding increases.  Nobody is "ready", and everyone is still learning.  I myself am a complete bumbler hobbyist on the electronics side, a very beginner/novice in circuit design and such, while I've got quite a lot of experience in other areas like certain facets of programming.

I've even described how my own choices and refusal to give up (and even recognize the unhealthy obsessive attitude toward work I had), worked in socially unhealthy places, and didn't really learn how to correctly focus on the important parts of work, nor how to balance work and social life, and burned up –– twice, or three times, depending on how you count –– and ended up with apparently permanent neurological issues and recurrent depression I'm still trying to do something about.  (Such things cannot be "fixed" with pills, but one can learn how to work around such issues, and have a fulfilling life and work, I believe.)

So, if anyone is trolling here, they're like the idiot who interrupts a public lecture on an important new findings in science/technology, in order to "punish" one of the organizers they have a beef with.  They're only making themselves look like a colossal assshole, and annoy everyone else there who are just trying to learn and help others.

Think of the lost opportunity for learning – not for that one idiot, but for others as well, if they only had been honest and discussed whatever problems/difficulties they have.  There are about 8 billion people on this planet, and it is basically statistically guaranteed that several of them have similar problems, so why not utilize that and explore the possible solutions for those difficulties, instead of wasting time?

Like I started with, it is sad, in the depressing kind of way.
