Shared Wisdom
I would like to share some of the things I've learned about posting on forums. I hope others can benefit from my experience.It doesn’t matter how clearly and precisely you write, at least half the people who read it will misunderstand it.
It doesn’t matter how meaningless what you write is, there will always be someone who thinks they understand what you mean.
It doesn’t matter how stupid you think you have made yourself sound, someone will always respond to it positively and validate it.
It doesn’t matter how experienced you are at treading fine lines, they will always ban you when you are not expecting it.

It doesn't matter how much truth you write, there will always be those who will say it is all lies.
If I can add one more, at your discretion.

A true rice pudding does not need anything added other than the basic ingredients.
I wouldn't presume to try and educate anybody here, even if I thought I were qualified. And those I would want to educate are really more in need of psychiatric treatment than education.
Have a good evening!
See different stupidity's have different results
Nice to see you, bloody.

But you already knew that of course.
Not to nitpick but it is NOT an idiom, it is an adage.

There's nothing like a good flock!
Straight off the press, after careful research.......in other words the google monster.
"Shared Wisdom" from Bruce Lee and Master Po.
Bruce Lee said to "empty your mind", and explained that a person should be "formless" like water. Lee said that because water has no shape, it becomes whatever it is poured into, whether it be a cup, a bottle, or a teapot. Lee went on to say, "water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend"
