"Unjustifiable negativity"?
Okay i give up. Where did I say it was "unjustifiable"? I assume you're using that word for effect?
I know there are issues - always have been, always will be, especially while bonuses are around. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism either. I just like to see balanced opinions. Kasino King is one who has the balance right as an example.
What irks me, being in the "half full" category, is when someone starts a kudos thread like this then some people just jump in to bring it down. Well not just "some" people - the "same" people.
And when someone starts to actually point out that there is more than one possible reason for/solution to a problem, those that can't accept it simply wheel out comments designed to discredit the person suggesting them.
Now, that said, I think it's good that there are people here who question things and point out issues, debate the points and present their opinions. And undoubtedly some of the current issues are not at all good. EH a case in point. But I formed my opinion on that a long time ago, as I'm sure 99% of the users here did. But I'm not going to start laying into people because they disagree with me!
I think if people want to be taken seriously - in ANY walk of life - and I am not pointing the finger specifically here - they need to show they can offer diverse and balanced opinions. Additionally, publically attacking individuals they have never met and don't know shows a total lack of respect. And if you can't show respect, then don't expect people to show it to you.
Now, back to happy-land where the sun always shines and the purple sparrows come in threes
