Indeed John,

I would agree that if someone is giving blatantly bad advice it should be pointed out. However, often posts like these can be made very constructive, by pointing out what is incorrect, and enaging in further dialog so that everyone gets it. Unfortunately, there have been those less tactful instances where a discussion is engaged on a topic, and one individual so disagrees with a statement of another, that is not bad advice per say, but a difference of opinion, and confrontation ensues.
In that case, the PM is a far better tool.
