It has nothing to do with taking anyone's word for it, but the fact that no human being can tell what another complete stranger over the internet is thinking, feeling, or aware of. A conditional statement was made in the form of "If you understood how the heater works". Go around telling people you meet in the real world that they "don't understand what they are talking about", before even trying to understand it yourself, and see how far it gets you in life.
Making 10,000 posts and owning a thermocouple doesn't give anyone the right to throw common courtesy out the window because they cannot personally understand what someone else is getting at. This isn't about being right, or wrong, it is about the fact that I was told that I don't know what I'm talking about based on the accidental omission of a single acronym from a sentence, in this case, "LED". I suppose because I only have 100 posts, and 200 likes, I haven't yet earned the right to trample upon people trying to lend a hand, and tell them what they do, or do not think, feel, or understand.
Is this forum here to help people, or to take on the "holier than thou" attitude when a member tries to come on here and assure another that their unit is not "glitchy" and is performing optimally? Even after correcting my post I was told that it still isn't clear enough, but the post putting a bunch of words in my mouth still stands, and I'm still being berated for something I never even said. Here I thought courtesy was a two-way street.
