On a related note, telling someone he or she made a stupid mistake is one thing. The person will usually be aplogetic and learn from that mistake. On the other hand, making someone believe he or she is stupid will do nothing but create a self-fulfilling prophecy. One who believes he or she is stupid will often continue doing stupid things because that is expected.

Wise words, but the point is that if a person makes a mistake, the forum members will counsel them. But if the person ignores our counsel and does the same thing again, punishment is in order. While it's true that being told that you're dumb enforces that idea on a person, being dumb with no retribution won't help either. At least with letting a person know they're dumb makes them aware of it.

That's true, but es mucho annoying. And I was mostly referring to his last post. Plus, he kept using it after a mod told him not to.
