I just want to make a suggestion to all board/10C members. If people come here to bitch about something, it really is their right to do so. I don't like it anymore than anyone else, but it's still their right, as it is as much for you to respond to their bitching.
I'm as guilty as any of responding with even more negativity which perpetuates the anger in any given thread. It's ruining this experience for many, and most of us are guilty of this.
So, I'm not going to sit here on my soapbox and tell people to stop bitching; they can do that all they want. However, if those of you who don't like it wish to do something, do this: nothing. Negativity breeds negativity, and it accomplishes nothing. Let the posters get whatever off their chest, and let it be, and it will go away as quickly as it came.
If it's borderline abuse or if it crosses the line, have confidence in your moderators to take care of it.
Now, I realize the irony and also hypocricy of saying "I can't tell people to stop bitching, but I can tell people to stop replying". I'm not telling anyone to do anything. it's merely a suggestion to slowly get the weeds off the lawn, that's all.
Sunshine and lollipops, everyone. :P
