For example, I could've told QXZ that his guides are ignorant and filled with errors, and it's not a new player's place to try and write about content he clearly doesn't understand. But I didn't. Because I *want* him to participate. I want him to make mistakes and improve, and hopefully tell me things I don't know. So instead of harshly calling him out, I pointed out a few key areas that caught my eye as misleading or that I disagreed with, and left it at that. There's still much I don't agree with. But it's not my guide, it's his, and I'm not going to insist on my viewpoints just because I think I'm right.
