What's the difference between answering a question with a personal story, or with impartial details?

Asked by wordsmythe (207points) July 9th, 2011

I notice that some Fluther answers are filled with personal stories that illustrate the poster’s points, then there are answers that are much more impartial, or don’t include any personal details.

Which do you prefer—personal stories that contribute to the answer (even at the risk of that person sounding like they’re talking about themselves often) OR impartial, less personal answers?
