Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?

Yes...just be yourself. When you start to temper what it is you wish to say, or cater to what you think others want to hear, then you're failing the people that ask you. Don't forget...they write to ask for YOUR opinion. Sometimes it calls for being harsh. Don't let that stop you or change what you feel. It's only your opinion, and if they don't like what you say then, they always have the option to simply not take your advice. But don't color who you are. Good luck.

If someone posts a question that is just boneheadedly stupid, I do not fear ripping them a new one.
Some people just ask stupid shit, and do it in really stupid ways. I feel no sympathy for people who put so little effort into their own lives.
Don't fear being harsh.
Also, sometimes, its not so much that you're harsh, but maybe sarcastic, and well, that seems to go over lots of people's heads.
People come here and ask things. They can specify who they ask, or they can ask at large. And if they ask at large, then what they get in reply is what they get.. they can take it or leave it.
This should not be a popularity contest.
This should not be about telling people what you think they want to hear.
This is about telling it like it is, and hopefully educating people.
Mind you, I'm probably a weee bit older than most of the people on here (and it shows, eh?) but hey... we're all just trying to offer what we know, right? If someone were just intentionally bashing people constantly, that'd be different.

I rather you tell me the truth about stuff than not to.Plus it's not like I have to look you in the face every day.

I've been doing this for about a half hour now and so I am not the kind of advice columnist you are looking for, but I did look at a few of your answers anyway, because I always have an opinion. I think you should use capital letters and punctuation. I didn't see anything else wrong with your answers, but I do think it is better not to be harsh.

everyone can give advice in there own way. Iread your column and some are harsh, but other than that your doing okay.
-shay :-)

Dear rabidweasel,
i have only been giving advice for 2 days and i say you should speak your mind let them hear how you feel and tell them what you think but if you think you are being to harsh then its your decision to slack up and quit being harsh not mine
