Unasked for Advice.

Yesterday I must have seemed very dumb, stupid or not know what or how to post a discussion. I kept getting unrequested/unsolicited advice in some responses. My problem is when I want advice I will ask for it. I am not a newbie I do not really need my discussion to be critiqued. Ho do you feel by some of the "expert!!" unwanted advice you get? I think they are kind of funny but it is also a bit annoying. If people dont like what I wrote just move on and annoy someone else.
Here are a couple of my latest responses:
**Some kind of illegal threat but i didn't get it. better if u posted it in brief

Perhaps yoU need to find a website that has cartoons for the topics. That may help if you can't read and understand more than one sentence. You need to have a few more points to your credit before you start advising users on how to post their discussions.**

**oh man.....I never bother either low/high or local/international membership. Because I'm not paid by mylot for that such an analytical job.
The one who should be thinking as what you've thoughts is the owner of this mylot's web.
If you want to keep on thinking like that, you are advice to buy one giant server and do the same thing as what mylot have done. Certainly make money.

Oh man..... I can't help it if such analytical thoughts just come naturally to my genius mind without even having to think much. I already have a giant server and have made more than a billion already I just do analytical computations to relax. So your advice is really quite unnecessary**

Yes I have gotten a few of those in my life time. Just the other day I posted a post venting and asking how others would handle the situation with my girls losing a stray they had gotten attached to. I get a jerk, seems like a pet lover human hater type, that totally jumps on me for not knowing about a group that takes care of strays. HELLO, nice tip but not my concern at the moment. Sorry I am worried about my children and that is what the discussion was about.
It was totally unnecessary and uncalled for, IMO.

That's the kind of advice you don't need.

I get this sort of ridiculous responses on the rare occasion. People who obviously don't read the discussion properly.
I usually ignore it, but occasionally comment with a "suitable reply".

I saw at least one of those exchanges last night, and I could think you were a little bit miffed, or you were mocking the responder. I have some one who I will not respond to anymore, because she lectures me about my responses to her posts. "Do not do this just try it as I have instructed and let me know." The problem is, I am more than twice her age, let alone experience. So I am ranting here, as well. Some of her posts have helpful information, but I am not going to do more than read and rate because of her comments on my responses. I do not think these children know how they sound to us older, more experienced users, and it does get annoying to say the least.

I agree with you as It is like responding irrelevantly.Some users post responses unwantedly and i just ignore as it doesnot relate to my discussiona and never rate it or comment to it.But frequently getting such unwanted advices do irritates me a lot.But since i dont want to get into tussle with someone i dont know in person i keep calm.
Hope after this discussion started by you..you will not receive any unwanted advices anymore.good day from..suba..

When i see something like what I saw at that discussion in question, & with it not quite as worth responding to many discussions anymore, I usually go on a reporting spree. It's probably people like that who are knocking the pay rates down closer towards the basement.

If it really helps, though I didn't ask for the advice, I will use it. Though in the case it makes me look stupid, and I know I didn't ask for it, or was there any warrant for it, than I get a little ticked off. There is no need to give advice where it isn't needed or asked for.

God love it, but everybody has advice you know. I figure it is sort of the same as opinions...opinions are like a$$ holes. everybody has one, and it seems the same is true for advice. Don't let it get to you.

Wow... That's bad you're getting these unwanted responses. I think I've never had any troubles with that, and I frequently create discussions asking for advices. These ones I created received some very good responses so far. Maybe I'm just lucky, or whatever.
Sure I get silly or even a few rude responses sometimes, but I just don't bother at all. If it's really bad, I report. If it's just silly, I leave it alone.
That's it my friend, and if yoU want an advice (LOL!), just don't bother and forget about it. ;)

That is my whole point if a ASK for advice I appreciate good advice but I also some times get a kick out of stupid advice. This discussion is about when I DONT ask for advice.
