Do you think it is ok to give advice on SW when people ask questions?

Sometimes people say thanks and it was good advice and sometimes people say who do you think you are giving advice? I mean no offence but surely if people ask questions then the point of SW is to give your opinion and it can be discarded or taken on board? I just wonder if maybe you re not really meant to say anything serious here?

hi NeitherLostNorFound
thanks. My viewpoint also.
here a recent example where I touched a nerve!
"[b]A pile of phychobabble used as a dam to hide a pile of stinking dog crap doesn't deserve much more than to be dismissed, if you can really prove the dog crap came from actual guard dogs.[/b] "
Not sure I even understood to or where the negative energy was coming from. Do not want to dismiss a genuine point from which I should learn and change though.
Best wishes
:)
