but...I wasnt born as a skydiver



We dont see that though, I jumped with a gravity rat, and I swear he was born with a rig on his back. And MANY instructors do forget they were where we are at one time. Heck I sometimes forget how it felt to wait to go on my first tandem so its understandable.

Anyone who criticizes your performance, as a student, in a demeaning manner, is an asshole and needs to be informed of that fact



I agree. Many actually probably do, but that does not take from the fact that it happens. It wont make it stop, but places like dz.com and those that make the time to help in real life, make up for the assholes. Assholes are all around, but they leave an impression that lasts.

***And as an instructor, if there are so many reasons why not to take advise, why are so many of you giving it? Instead of the question being why seek advise on the internet, lets ask why you choose to answer, and post advise when you think its not a good medium to? Im not asking you specifically but in general, anyone on here who takes the role of instructor and gives advise on dz.com



To answer this specifically. I purposely never give advise to students here....or even on the DZ if they are under the care of another instructor.
If asked I will try to provide an answer...usually that will be..."ask your instructor"
To answer the first part of your question...ego maybe?
