> I mean this respectfully but was this comment really necessary? What do you think the ramifications of this advice is? I have been in the stuttering support community a long time. I also founded a support group for several years. This is my experience... it is absolutely vital as a support community to share our experiences. However, when someone takes the tact of "this absolutely works and it's going to work for you", it can lead to a slippery slope. You dont know this person's background. What if it doesn't work for them? Are you going to dismiss it as they're not working at it hard enough? I never found it to be a productive method to share ideas. It's a little different if you were responding to a specific question, but you're broadcasting things as it is gospel. Imagine if a 14 year old reads this, and because you're so confident it will help everyone and their stutter, this 14 year old tries it. Lets say they do not get results. Because of these heightened expectations you have laid out, they will most likely experience failure and have less self esteem. Its not the most responsible approach. > Further, and I don’t know you, but I can only imagine bad reasons for, when someone suggests healthy habits, you respond like this. This is such a sophomoric response and leads us back to the topic of tact. Much luck and positivity in your journey
