I tried that once, here... it didn't go well. The member thought I was insulting him, even after I explained that I was not making fun of him at all, just trying to help him.
Seriously, if some of you had brains...

A logical English-speaker's reaction to that statement would be; "From? Leaving aside the double negative for a moment, what is the word 'from' doing in that sentence? What does it add to the meaning?"
