Do you speak up when seeing someone making mistakes?

I always speak up when:

1)I know I'm the stronger climber.

2)The person making the mistake is climbing with a hot girl and I can be a huge dick and embarrass him so that the girl wants to climb with me instead.

This - coming from someone who just joined the site 2 weeks ago and doesnt even use his real name - do me a favor and stop mouthing off unless you have something worth a shit to say...

As far as me being a "noob"? I'm pretty sure I started this entire thing with "I still consider myself new to climbing..." - guilty as charged

Ive got the answers I was looking for here - thanks to everyone who shared stories and advice - it was what I was looking for.

The rest of you pukes can take your shit rhetoric and spew it somewhere else...I'm moving along to something else

How am I not using my real name? Sorry if I dont want to provide my full name, DOB, and SSN in my user name... Im sorry you got your feelings hurt in this thread but you were the one "spewing shit rhetoric" and you proved my point perfectly so for that I thank you.

I only speak up if death is imminent, or they are openly discussing among themselves whether something is correct or figuring out how to do something. Otherwise, I keep my mouth shut and sometimes just leave the area.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
