It helps to remember that people are here looking for _advice_, not orders. Also to remember that what works for you may not work for someone else. I'd recommend wording your answers along the lines of "Have you considered X?" or "Here's something author X did, you could try that" and less along the lines of "You have to do this" or worse, a rant and "You can't." Even if something seems impossible for the OP's specific case, maybe you have an answer that will work for a more general one. As GGx says, if you need clarification or more information, you can always ask in the comments section. As for the scolding... If something in a post is upsetting you, please, _please_ put down the keyboard and do something else until you're feeling calmer. Take a walk, split some firewood, whatever you need. It can be very satisfying to destroy someone with a well-worded rant, but that's not why people are on here. Sometimes I wonder if our Questions Per Day would be higher if people didn't attack the OP in their "answers".
