Also nice smokescreen so you never get called out on your willful ignorance. "Just claim advice is calling you out in front of people and you'll get carried through everything easy".

People feeling offended by advice shouldn't be an excuse to never give out advice, the same way there's no point in assuming every underperformer you come across is someone with a disability (like some people here instantly jump to).

Giving advice isn't inherently wrong. In fact, acting out because you were given advice makes you out to be pompous and rude: someone who always needs to be in the right.
I feel like I'm always forced to give you the exact same response.

You don't have to run with anyone you don't want to. Vote kick if you feel like you're carrying and it bothers you. Leave if you can't vote kick. In no circumstance are you EVER forced to carry people.

Calling out people in public is rude, no matter how good your intentions are. Sometimes it's justified if the run is a disaster, but there's no reason to be rude if the run is going fine.
