I would agree that it was not stated very nicely, but it was worthwhile
information.

Yes, people do take good advice best when it's sugar-coated, and
spoon-feed. Most people will take it pretty well when it's stated
without any emotion. But that doesn't mean that just because it's stated
in an insulting way that it's not worthwhile.

The advice was good. The way it was presented wasn't the best -- but
then again, the fact that as of this writing there have been three
follow-ups to the message means that the message won't be lost in the
shuffle. Now do we want to talk about the content of the message (which
I think was good), or the format (which really isn't on-topic here)?

The message was:

Think about it. Wouldn't you expect the larger fruited types to take
longer
to get that size?

If you want tomatoes fast, next time get the smaller fruited types
or
quick
ripening types.

Do your homework next time. Get a book on tomatoes.


Makes sense to me, even if it wasn't sugar-coated.
