About the style of answers on the forums

He is about Yerem, and he is about Thomas.
Quite often I come across on the forums a situation where some person (sometimes I) asks for help in setting up / installing / something, and trying to express their opinion without answering the original question. I want to draw people's attention to this problem. For clarity, I will explain on the example removed from the IT area.

The man asks on the forum: “Where would I buy goat milk in my native village Gadyukino?”
And they answer him:
"No, goat is bad - you are better than normal, cow, buy it better!"
"Yes Yes! Goat - muck is full, the taste is nasty, I do not like it, drink a cow! ”
“Do not buy in Gadyukino! In the Upper Valenki much tastier sell! "

Common situation? If not, read no further.

Of course, sometimes these tips are correct, but still, the person asked not about what milk is healthier or where it tastes better. Maybe fate has developed so that he needs this way, and nothing else, maybe they themselves are not happy that it happened. Particularly annoying is the situation when a person writes additionally that this is exactly what is needed, he devours himself in goodness / utility, and one should not write his own advice on this matter. But even in this case, there are advisers for whom it is more important to express their opinion than to actually help a person.

Only a few will answer something like: "You can buy from the woman Nyura in the market, in the third row."

And a very small number will say: “You can still buy from Lida’s aunt, in the fourth row. But I would still recommend to buy in the Upper Valenki, if there is an opportunity, because Nyura and Lida can also sell sour things. ”

In my opinion, we must adhere to the latter option. Firstly, in this way a person is still given real help in solving his problem. Secondly, a personal opinion was expressed on this issue. And thirdly, your opinion is reasoned, makes you think a sensible person and does not impose. Pay attention to the first comments: “drink”, “buy”, “don't buy”. Verbs in the imperative mood impose someone else's opinion, leave no other choice.

I think many have encountered similar situations and it will not be difficult for them to recall an example from their own lives.

I do not insist on not saying my opinion, just try to formulate it in a less axiomatic way.
