I'm one of them who did so. I posted because I thought the advice might help. There is a small difference between unsolicited advice ("You should do this because I said so") and solicited advice ("You asked, so here's what I think.")
Personal interests and biases and opinions between two people can muck up any delicate social operation: No one wants to make their friends feel wrong or down or bad and a lot of us would rather just endure the bad while riding the highs. The tricky part comes when the bad is potentially signs of something actually being wrong or needing to be addressed and we permit that behavior to not make a ruckus.
It's presuming, but OP's reports have shown that the OOC relationship is already pretty terse. If someone's logging out in a fit while throwing off PA comments or putting you under a lamp when you take a night off, that already sets the fuse on the powderkeg of communicating efficiently.
