If you can't handle getting feedback, don't share stuff.

There's been plenty of times when I've read something someone's said and have thought they've been making the wrong choices but have held my tongue (fingers) simply because it's not up to me to tell someone else they're being a knobhead, no matter how gently I might try to couch my words. There are a number of issues I feel very strongly about but which I rarely comment on simply out of respect for the other poster. There is no need to be hurtful towards someone who's already hurting. It's as simple as that. If it's good enough for one, it's good enough for all. If not, this community is not the one it claims to be.

Okay, I call bullshit. Being "nice" to people isn't what is going to help them. Giving your honest feedback is more kind, in the long term, than looking the other way. And I preface all of the above with the understanding that what we are talking about are comments posted on a public forum--which is explicitly an invitation for feedback.
The "both ways" that can't be had is whining about your problems and then lashing out at people for having formed a context, and making observations based on that context. Crying out for help and then not liking the response you get. Whose fault is that, really? And don't lecture me. Do they have something called "tough love" where you are from? Google it. This is the most pointless thread I've ever posted in.

Basing your happiness on other's opinions isn't a good idea.
