On the one hand, Yes, definitely.
On the other hand, No, not so much.
Welcome to Earth.
Everyone on CD is not mean. It's not even close.
Those students need to learn that they are mistaken; and need to learn how to use a resource like CD effectively and efficiently. When I get an opportunity to teach those skills, I try to use it. I'm guessing that you also do that.
