It is stating the obvious that it is not appropriate for anyone to make pronouncements and recommendations in this forum that cannot be backed up with a solid foundation of knowledge. Quite a few of his suggestions,in this thread and others, could have caused harm or danger to others who might not know better. I can understand why some other forum members are wondering if he is a troll.
Be sure you are correct before you raise a posse.
Encouraging that sort of thinking doesn't build a growing community.

Also take this tidbit of wisdom from a soldier friend of mine:
"The worst thing you can do is lose the trust of those that are loyal to you"

To your concern about the safety of others: only a fool takes everything they read on the Internet verbatim. After all paradoxically you question him but presume others will blindly follow him.

If this thought he is a troll is wrong - think carefully of the price.
