If someone gives me unsolicited advice that my blinkie is too bright, I'll give some unsolicited advice of my own: Back off my ass and don't look at the light.
This is basic driving 101 here. Don't tailgate, and look away from oncoming lights.
Most lights have different settings: the brightest blinking mode is really for cars. When you are riding in a pack or with other rides behind you, it's commonly recommended that you put on SOLID light, in whatever brightness that's appropriate. So, if someone comes behind you and ask you turn the blinkie thingy to solid, take as he's just reading you the owner's manual.
