I actually thought I was being helpful. He was in trouble. I was trying to prevent him from getting into trouble in the future, or if he did to mitigate the problem.
He made a bad mistake that ruined his database. No one seemed to explain that this was a mistake and he caused the problem. I explained how to shutdown properly so he doesn’t do this again. I also explained the need to be gentle with your computer while rebuilding a database. then some information about good backups.
