New to L/L Research & Serious Multi-Disciplinarian

[zedro]

As far as the lawsuit situation I discussed earlier in this thread, I am speaking from my experience of what I have read/heard/watched what happens when a coach gives free advice without a set contract in place; the coach gets legally hammered...painfully...because of the receiver not agreeing with it because "the advice didn't work" or the that same receiver did something like get an injury and blame the coach instead of blaming a personally bad choice.

Well if we are going to get silly about it, the 'contract' here is implied in your participation and it's a social one. Also there is no agreement, no implication of authority (nobody is a coach, we are student/teachers and teacher/students), yada yada...You are completely free in ignoring unsolicited advice.

If we were to go by setting the advice liability bar that low, this forum (and most internet forums) would be shut down because nothing of substance would be shared. Spiritual advice, excercise advice or motorcycle repair advice, it's all the same, this is an internet forum and personal responsibility is expected (barring coercion, fraud, harassment), this is not a service exchange, it's a community. So thank you for the concern, but I'll be doing what I've been doing for the past 20 years of participating in internet forums, and that is giving advice and opinions on things in a responsible manner (meaning I won't recommend magic ritual, or welding your motorcycle frame yourself).
