Huge Opportunities in Q and A and Discussions

Please note that the last post was posted on some of the group news sites and for some reason the link was corrupted.

One of the most interesting things in the universe is the interesting relationship between the best and the worst, the good and the bad, the incredibly smart and the unbelievably dumb.

In a recent forum discussion one of the posters made some very outrageous statements along with some excellent points. Many of the other participants in the discussion started in on this person trying to rip him limb from limb for making some very audacious statements.

What most of the group didn’t realize is that such a post is one of the best opportunities you can get in either a Q and A or discussion. The reason is the tremendously high contrast you will achieve from the poster or the group if you slam-dunk a great answer and response.

It’s sort of like two ugly cars. If one of them is really bad the other might not look so bad it its light. Put it next to a great looking car and it becomes really ugly again. The contrast makes all the difference.

Often when you get an off the road or audacious post, the crowd tends to focus on what’s wrong with the post or the person who wrote, it instead of the subject at hand. In the case above the question or discussion was a good one.

Take advantage of these types of posts, if for no other reason they get tons of readers, by giving a solid answer, case, and debate against the “foolish” answer. Doing an exemplarily job here will stand out to other readers much more than the question that has lots of great answers.

This means you will likely get a very high readership to your answer and thus more visibility than you might normally receive.

In every failure or disaster there are great opportunities, look for them and take advantage of the situation. Don’t beat up the person, beat up the subject and others will be impressed.
