As is so often the case in life, it is not what we say, but HOW we say it. Advice dispensed, opinions expressed with concern and kindness, with thoughtfulness, are more likely to be heeded, listened to, than words expressed in anger or judgements passed in haste. I always try to put myself in "that person's" position before even thinking of responding. Having said that, I'm glad to have friends here I can come to for advice and support and welcome their thoughtful responses.
