I think when people ask for advice-- the asker is generally now well known or we only know a little bit about them... we also are not aware fo the entire story... we're only told one side of it - and we all know there are three sides to every story (his hers and the truth)

Some people, fancy themselves experts in certain topics, but in reality, they are only experts in their world... and can only give advice on what they would do ina given situation... which is how I hope people are answering... it's up to the asker then -- to weigh the options and decide what they should do.

Should people be more tough love like in their answers? nope - because unless youk now the person or the situation.. you cannot tell them what to do -- you can only respond to what they would do ina given situation
