I *think* there were like, one or two very early posts from Sar that were harsher than called for IMO—and I may just be misremembering—but it is beside the point because as far as giving advice goes, he's been very helpful and not impolite in the past couple of months.
It can be a fuzzy distinction sometimes, but there is a difference amongst 1.) being snippy in the context of a heated debate over what advice should be given or how best to play a certain type of character, versus 2.) being snippy when giving advice, and 3.) when having one's advice spurned (which is different than someone just disagreeing with it or opting to play differently). The first and third are understandable and for the most part okay I think, the second is a problem. I don't think the second applies to Sar at all.
The same is true of duvessa and dck. dck does tend to be harshest of the three, but (along with Sar and duvessa) is consistently (much more so than I am!) among the first to provide quality advice in CIP threads started by new players. I give that a lot of weight, personally, and for me that compensates for their having somewhat quicker tempers and/or sharper tongues than, say, cerebovssquire.
So FWIW I am not adverse to any of them being counselors if they really want to, though dck would have to reel it in a bit in Advice maybe. (I think it is obvious they know what they are talking about already though, but if any of them want to be formally made counselors, they deserve it.)
