    Dear Anita,

    This is a forum, not an email or formal letter. We all criticize each other’s advice. Yours was terrible and following it would make the LW a creep who pushes when someone tells him they aren’t interested.

    Dear Julie:

    “We all criticize each other’s advice”- what a shame. People don’t need more criticism- it does not promote mental health. Makes good entertainment, sometimes, but it is not helpful or healthy. I like the concept of EAR: Empathy, Assertiveness, Respect.

    What you, Julie, are offering here is aggression. And because you are a moderator here, supported by the website owner, you do have the authority to practice and promote aggression. Therefore, I exit this website and will not be logging in again.

    Another entertaining read this week. Much appreciated.

    “DDWKS?” … Superb. I give it an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

    First of all, Julie is not a moderator. Second, since when is criticism not helpful? If someone isn’t doing a good job, it’s helpful for others to tell them that. Third, ok bye.

    @KTFran, you can now buy the DDWKS bracelet in my Etsy shop. Wait for it to be featured on Wendy’s Weekly Picks.

    Don’t Do What Kate Said (it’s a play on WWS – What Wendy Said)

    Actually, the ability to accept criticism IS a sign of good mental health.

    I would like a DDWKS engraved on a margarita glass and available in that etsy shop. Make it happen, universe.

    Anita,
    Empathy and respect, are truly things I admire in other humans… but what about the woman/object of affection in this post? Your advice to this man was to NOT respect what she said, and to push her boundaries further.

    The ability to accept criticism constructively, and reflect on your own opinions and challenges to them is really just a sign of a well rounded, and mature person.

    It’s this adamant divisive (I’m right, and your opinion isn’t because it doesn’t match mine!) that shuts down important conversations that lead to better understanding.

    Cheers,
    Anonymousse

    PS I would buy a WWKD? Or a DWKD bracelet.
