[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8200689, member: 205"] Yea, but I think the disconnect I'm seeing is that I feel there's nothing wrong with making recommendations to people based on your own experiences. Like, if I tell someone I really enjoyed the food at this seafood restaurant over the weekend, and they should give it a shot if they're in the city sometime. If they tell me, "Yea, I really don't like seafood", than that should end the conversation and everyone should be happy. I'm not wrong for thinking the restaurant is great and recommending it to people, and they're not wrong for not liking seafood and thus not wanting to follow my recommendation. I haven't seen anyway in this thread saying something like "Seafood restaurants are objectively the best restaurant, and you should only eat there." Likewise, I haven't seen anyone say "Don't ever recommend seafood, because some people are allergic." Which is good, because those would both be objectively bad statements to make! The only thing I've really seen on this thread is people saying "If you really like seafood, you should try this new restaurant rather than ordering another Filet O' Fish from McDonalds." The fact that some people might still like their Filet O' Fish doesn't mean you can't say "I think the food at that new restaurant is objectively better than a Filet O' Fish." [/QUOTE]
