If this is the attitude

she get from using her free time to make something that others might enjoy, and some find helpful, I'm surprised at how polite she is, in only calling people "know it all's"
That's just my point. She is approaching things with the wrong attitude. I applaud her efforts to use her free time to make a video that others might enjoy, even if they may have their doubts about how "helpful" said video may be. However, you apparently think she deserves nothing but applause and is immune from criticism simply because she spent her free time. That is not the case. In fact, that is not the case with a lot of things.
If I work on some analysis for work on the weekend and submit my findings to my boss on Monday, am I to expect no feedback simply because I did the work on my “free time”? Of course not, and I wouldn’t call my boss a “know it all” either.
If I made a how to video and placed it on youtube explaining how to perform an emergency tracheotomy and some certified medical doctors posted comments giving advice on how to improve my technique should I erase them and call the MD’s “know it alls”? Should I expect to simply be commended because I spent my “free time” to make the video? Of course not, that would be silly and ignorant of me to do so.
Placing a "how to" video on youtube begs advice and feedback and any reasonable person welcomes such things as these are the ways you can learn and grow. Placing anything on the internet is likely to evoke feedback of some sort, from many people. You have given me feedback on my post, saying in essence that I have a poor attitude. I accept your feedback but believe it to be false.
I spent my "free time" typing that post "for others to enjoy" and some to "find helpful", by your logic I should be applauded for my efforts. It seems it may be you that have the wrong attitude here, by giving me a thumbsdown on my post you are doing the very same thing that seems to have bothered you so much about others feedback of this lady’s videos. Are you familiar with the term “hypocrite”?
“We need very strong ears to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure frank criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship” -- Michel de Montaigne
Those people were trying to help her. It is a sign of her immaturity that she cannot accept their help but instead lash out and call them “know it alls”. That’s all I’m saying. :thumbup:
