I noticed that some members are too hesitant to speak their mind. I suspect some are even intimidated when a knowledgeable person posts his answers or ideas, accepting it as sort of gospel of truth.
This is not good
.Well, to tell you the truth, experts are, maybe, ?maraming alam?, pero sigurado ako na meron din alam ang ?walang alam? na di alam ni expert. Scrutinize their posts, ask questions. If you think may mali sa idea nila, let them know. Criticize but do not ridicule. I don?t see anything wrong with criticizing somebody else?s idea as long you deliver it with respect. Experts are people, and they too commit mistakes.
Personally, I believe this forum will serve its purpose well if the so called ?walang alam? (akala nyo lang yan) posts their opinion and ideas without fear. Do you know that a lot of brilliant new ideas came from people without experience or given by people who are outside (their field of expertise)? Experts are sometimes cursed by too much knowledge in their field, so that, di pa nila nasusubukan, nasa isip kaagad nila di pwede. Non experts are more capable of thinking out-of-the box.
Pag naging two way na ang exchange of ideas, then
we all start learning.
