I'm new to this, so I haven't noticed, but what you're saying seems true. I agree that it's wrong to try and make them disregard replies. Like you said, we are all here to help. I think we should make it so that we can't reference other replies, even if it's in a negative way.

As long as it's respectful disagreement, I don't have a problem with it. I generally don't read the other replies unless it's medical/something involving a quick answer, in which case I don't want to provide all the same stuff. But err yeah. I see no reason why people can't offer multiple solutions to a problem and give a little critique of other solutions. It seems like it would help the poster.

I only use someone else's reply if I agree tbh, because I understand it's all about different perspectives. I'm sorry you have that  if it happened to me it would feel like they were attacking my reply and discourage me.

I completely agree. I honestly try just to answer the question on my own without reading the other responses. A lot of times I find that people are simply rehashing what other SLs have said in their posts.

I think it's fine to carefully enter in something along the lines of "personally, I think differently than *other SL* on this particular topic...because....." and proceeding to explain why. I'd never do this, because I'm not usually one to read the other replies very often, I find it messes with my opinion and judgement if I do that. Plus if I read someone else's reply their points tend to stick in my mind and I forget what I was going to say. I think if the second SL doesn't refer to the first, by saying something (gently) about them disagreeing, I think the recipient can get very confused very easily. They have one SL very solidly arguing for one point, and the other just as strongly for a different one. I think if the second SL is going to knowingly contradict the first, they should explain why they disagree with it. But keep in mind we are all trying to help, we've all experienced different things, and therefore have different opinions about things. No-one is right or wrong, it's all just a matter of opinion and advice.

What about if I just said, "I agree with so and so" and maybe explained a bit myself why I agreed? Or are you only talking about people who make reference and then disagree? If both I'm sorry.
