If someone writes “I’ve found this kind of software development timeline forecasting strategy to work well” then that absolutely isn’t a complete blanket invitation for everyone to air all work-related problems they ever had with you on that post, or even all work-related problems they had with your software development project planning.
It does seem to me like an invitation[1] to say “Actually, I’ve spoken with a few of this guy’s previous managers and all three of them say he used the same strat on his projects at their firms, but his predictions were way off.”
But that’s not quite the crux of the matter; what’s critical (for you, at least) is the capacity to derail convos into off-topic Demon Threads, if there is too much aggression or not enough respect or too many boundaries broken.[2]
That’s not quite so critical for me, but I’m not a mod, and I have written enough about this already, and for that reason I shall stop it here.

Not the word I’d use, but this isn’t the time to litigate such matters
