This forum: Whining and complaining about everything! Always finding something wrong, they did this, he did that.

Yes, I know this poster is guilty, because I posted a complaint. Yes, I know I can leave the forum anytime.

But just an observation....

So, let's come up with some hypotheses.

A trait of public boards.


Venting.


Misery loves company.

I think everyone’s nerves are frayed with the current situation. Many (me included) are lashing out a little more than they normally would. Whining and complaining are human nature when frustrated. This too shall pass.

Proves again the minority, non compliant minority get the spotlight.

The other 98++% of us enjoy the forum and learn to ignore the minority (not race!!).

Think you have a winning forum here, no lack of posters.

I see a lot more know-it-all's then whiners and complainers. That's just my observation.

Definitely a crop of pasters and pontificators

In my world "problems" discussed on this site are what I call "first world problems"

I think you nailed it...……..and I was just going to lash out at you. We are pretty close to biting.

You first- what do you hypothesize ?

[Number 10 GI]

When some people get old they become Stage 4 Constipation cranky old goats.

[Bay Kid]

Don't worry, be happy.

[bumpygreens]

The complaining isn't just on here; its everywhere. We moved a lot when I was a kid, and every neighborhood I lived in had its "Old Crank". God forbid you walked in their yard to get a ball or frisbee, or if you and your friends made too much noise playing outside. I used to think their attitude was byproduct of old age. It isn't. Those people were always complainers and whiners. Reading some of the posts on TOTV reminds me of grade school. The tattle-tales, the bullies, the conformists, the rebels...you name it, they're all living here now. It's sad when you think about it. We've lived 60 years or more, and so many of us still haven't learned to find joy in living or in each other.

Most messages boards are programmed to block profanity, it will appear as ********

I would add this phrase to that list of blocked words


"Back home we did it this way"


That would cut down a great may complaints because you no longer live there.
