As I remember, it was someone freaking out about one hand in one tournament. That certainly demonstrates a lack of long-term perspective.
I would never assume that someone already knows something, just because they are in these forums. When I started playing poker, it was from watching it on TV. I didn't know anyone that played poker, and I had no idea there were places to play live poker in my city. But I wanted to play, so I decided that the best way to learn was to get books on poker from the library.
One of those was a 2+2 book, so I checked out the forums, again, knowing next to nothing. We all have to start somewhere, and I don't assume that someone knows something unless it is obvious in his post. In this case, it was not obvious.
