I like how Tycho put it in a Penny Arcade newspost last week:
--- Quote ---There are certainly people with whom dialogue is not possible, or desirable; . . . There are also people who merely disagree. We are losing the ability to tell which is which.

Is it cold in here?:
It's arguable whether Faye is being hypocritical.
The case against is that she's restarted her sculpting. The case in favor is that Dora had to push her hard to make that happen.
In any case, though, good advice is still good advice even if it comes from a hypocrite.
pwhodges:
I would only call her a hypocrite if she gave advice she would not wish to follow herself; if she has merely failed to follow it (or had to be forced to), she is essentially in the same position as Marten - knowing what to do, but now having to make themselves do it.

My bad.
Milesb:
Hmmm, pwhodges! I find that quite difficult to agree with..
If you give someone advice you can't follow yourself, shouldn't you be in a good position to know how difficult that advice is to follow (if the person has a similar issue or problem as your own) and change the advice?
More a "Well I tried to do x and it was hard, but what about y."
I only say this because I'm quite patently bad at taking my own advice and I acknowledge my hypocrisy openly in an attempt to either force myself into taking my own advice or really stopping to consider whether my advice is valid if I can't follow it myself.
