A pet peeve of mine is unsolicited warnings/advice about my own or my online security. It tells me that the adviser assumes I am not smart enough to have through through the ramifications of my actions and that I am not capable of dealing with those ramifications.
I am aware. I have considered. I take what may look to others as risks to my safety, privacy, and personal goods, sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Either way, I do what I do this with my eyes wide open. I have thought about what would happen if. I am aware of the pitfalls. I understand the risks. I make the choices for my own reasons.
I'm fine with suggestions and questions. (You might consider..., or Have you thought about?) I'm not fine with dictates (you should never...) you are not the boss of me and if you were, I'd find a new boss cause you think I'm stupid.
