Is it wrong to take the advice of an internet columnist?
Well, is it?

Hi, I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather. I hope the wisdom that comes with age and life experience will be helpful to you.
Dangernerd has given you a very good answer to your question. When I first started to answer questions on this forum I was amazed at how good the advice and the answers to the questions presented were.
Sure some of the advisers on here are young, about the same age as the people who are writing are. What I found was that the advise they offered was heartfelt and based on their life experiences. Generally based on what they would do in similar situations.
Something that needs to be remembered. Advise columnists only hear one side of any problem. In relationship problems it is always better if the adviser has both sides of the issue to work with.
My short answer to your question is: Both yes and no. You need to evaluate all advise given, especially by an advise columnist, against the entire subject or problem. Then decide if the the advise fits your need or is bogus.

Yes.
But don't take it from me, I'm an internet columnist.
You need to evaluate the creditability of everyone who tells you anything. I know that sounds exhausting, but it's the only way to get even close to the truth. Constant questions. Constant questioning of the answers.

Hi there,
That really depends on the advice. If it is good advice, then yes it is good to take it. If it is bad advice, then no it isn't a good idea... just the same as advice you would get any place else.
If you can't tell if it is good advice, then it is best to get a second opinion or ask another question including more detail than the first.
The number one reason people don't succeed with advice they ask for is that they aren't ready to be honest and open to change. I have seen some truly stellar advice here go unheeded because the person wasn't willing to get help and fix their issues. The point was, when you do get good advice, and you are sure that it IS good advice, then don't waste that opportunity.
Hoped whatever you are dealing with works out for you.
Good luck.
