Hey, snarfism here, I've been getting complaints about my answers. Like, They're too long-winded/too mean/ect. I was wondering if this happens to everyone, or if i'm just a freak bad advice-giver?

musicismyworld answered Tuesday December 30 2003, 12:00 am: it depends how many complaints your getting every body gets some but if your getting a lot maybe your a litte too harsh and need to take other peoples feelings into consideration more [ musicismyworld's advice column | Ask musicismyworld A Question ]

But, that doesnt mean that you have to change your opinions to satisfy other people. Keep telling them the truth, and if they get mad about it, thats their problem. I mean, if they dont like it, they dont have to take it. But there are some people out there that will take that hard truth and use it. Focus on those people. Dont worry about the shallow people that only want it if it makes them feel better. Sometimes, what they have to hear may suck for them, but they still need to hear it. It can help them in the long run. Just keep doing what your doing, and if they complain. dont worry about it. Remember, its their problem, not yours. Give it your best shot, and dont stress out.

I live for long-winded answers, but there are a lot of fragile question-askers out there, so I try not to be mean (or at least offer up a spoonful of sugar with the bitter medicine). [ metawidget's advice column | Ask metawidget A Question ]
Lizzy answered Monday December 29 2003, 3:00 pm: A little advice for you, try not to be so sarcastic all the time. Once in a while it is funny but I read through your column and you just make a joke out of everything, it is funny though!
Good Luck with that
