This is not a question this is my personal opinion for some things said to others onthus site... I have read and commented on a lot of different forums on here and there is always someone who gets on and criticizes the ones asking for advice. For example gay relationships that's their choice they trust people on this site to give advice not call them SICK or put them down! When a question is posted it states pretty much what the question is in reguards too so read that headline and don't click on it if its something you don't feel you can help with without criticism! No one calls you people names or puts you down! To thoes of you who have defended these situations I have much respect for you! We don't know these people on a personal level and SOME of us are really wanting to help or advise them! And no this just isn't happening to gays and bisexuals its other things too! But againg there are a lot of you I give you my respect! Whooraw. Others all I can say is WOW!

Gabbrielle1221 agony aunti agree with not being judgemental however if people are wanting help, and it ends up been a rough topic, i think that the hard truth shuld be given even if it hurts. No Pain no Game!

i think you have a point. yes we all need a bit of correction or harshness so to put it, but it should be done in the correct, mature and advisory manner. there is no need to be rude, just because it hurts to be cheated on. there is no need to be horrible when you can correct in the proper manner. all these males commenting on here, sure dont have a true pespective to life and what it should be about. to be honest, all the males who have commented on this question sound like those that have been going through rough patches in life but maturely, that is not the way to deal with hurtful situations. you all should see a phychiatrist and deal with those hurtful feelings before you think about giving individuals advice. one word to all the males that commented on this question... hypocrites.everyone does bad things, the only way to rectify bad things is to advice with proof and evidence in a subtle not patronising way. you should not be in killer mode. do not judge gay people because they are gay, judge gay people because of the things they do. truthfully, you males on here should grow up and look around you for reality. this aint disney world.

Hi,

New to this forum and being apart of & a reader of many forums it's true that there are a lot of critical people (Which, I suppose, is to be expected though not necessarily accepted), some well-meaning, others mean-spirited but to me these forums seem to be pretty well moderated and having posted my first just recently, have received fantastic replies/support so far!

Here's one for all you helpful aunts & uncles cos they're the ones who count! :)

I'm really not trying to get people to get All pissed off at me I just don't understand how some people are so inconsiderate of others feelings. I love talking to people and trying my best to do right by others. I care a lot for people. And I do get very defensive when people say or do certain things to others. I mean some of these people must not have many others to talk to about things and the criticism is probably why! Sorry to even being this up but I think some people can show alittle respect.

I try to be helpful but at the same time not hurtful! Yeah believe me there have been things I've said people blew out of proportion but some people can be rude! For example this women was talking about loosing a loved on to cancer s girl told her to get over it quite crying blah blah! I lost my little brother 3 years ago he was 15 and I still cry over it because I miss him to no end! I know no matter how much I cry he won't come back but it is good to just let out once and a while!that's what I mean about some people!

I not once said not to tell the truth I for one told the guy that beat his wife and he wants her back what I thought! He was flaunting the fact he did this! No the truth is fine that's not what I mean at all! Gay people are on here everyday, teens that are pregnant mothers that don't understand their kids and there are a few people mostly women who can't be polite even a little! And it's the same ones! Never have I read anything that the two of you wrote that sounded out of line to me anyway but I have seen a few! They are the ones I'm getting at..

Well there is a difference between honesty and unnecessary, unconstructive criticism.

She is obviously not saying that me need to be rid of the remarks that people NEED..

This is about being rid of the remarks that people do not deserve. So is there really anyone out there who can disagree that we should not be cruel to people?

A male reader, garcypher United Kingdom +, writes (29 May 2009):

Everyone has their own oppinions, so it's only right to express them truthfully without being patronising or writing with a bunch of useless platitudes. Sometimes we all need a bit of criticism wether you are proffessionals or members of the public. I think most people would rather have honesty of opinion so they can make up their own minds on what advice is right to follow. There are people who need to be hit with the truth not sanctamonious crap. A lot of it depends on the subjet matter and how we address the problem. - see! Now i'm at it.

Thank you ma'am! I wrote a similar artical. You should read it. I totally agree.

Unless the person says.. "i cheated and I'm proud"

They don't need criticism. They need help. That's why they're here.
