There also seems to be some concensus that offering unasked-for advice may not be welcome. I wanted some feedback on what people see as support. I now have a sense that offering unasked-for advice is not considered supportive.
I hope there
isn't such a consensus, because people don't always know when you have good advice available for a particular situation, and so won't think to ask...
In my opinion, you goofed once recently when offering advice, but given the number of posts you've done that is not a bad record. Donette already said that she would miss your advice if you decide to play it safe and only offer sympathy without advice. Hopefully you have since managed to make it up with the person offended, and can move on to many more productive posts until you goof up once again (even moderators are human, eh?)
