I'm sorry, but I did see the phrase "tired of the constant bitching," and assume that you were conflating legitimate criticism with "bitching."

I don't find reducing someone's opinion to "bitching" to be reflective of a sense of respect towards that opinion.

I am sorry that I did not make it clear in the first post that legitimate criticisms does not = bitching. Bitching is all about tone, repetitiveness, and treatment of others.

Let me show the difference:

"I dont like the new asthetics of some of the models that GW is putting out or I wish they had put more effort into correcting grammar" legitimate, especially if followed by reasons/examples, but not necessary. That is a constructive and legitimate while not demeaning the opinions of others.

"I think that I like the new dark angel flyer, I think it would be interesting to see how the additional anti infantry works with my X force. I know it is not the most powerful but I would like to give it a shot and see how it does"
"Yea well it sucks, I dont know why GW even bothers to release rules, you should go to privateer press and everyone who doesn't is a GW cock sucker/fanboy"
"But I was asking for help with the flyer....."
"Too late it is now a Mat Ward hate thread, just try again in a few days"

am sorry but how is asking about model looks relevant to game play ? And second thing , how is saying that DA dont need more anti infantry in the form of a flyer when the list has anti infantry cominng out of their ears with dakka banners , plasma bikers etc . one would have to be completly incompetent to ask such a question . which isnt a bad thing per se. But explains why the anwser is short and comes down to dont take it. Why? because it someone doesnt understand why an anti infantry army like DA doesnt need an anti infantry flyer just from reading the codex and rule book , then he probably not going to understand the long explanation of it too . going the short way saves time for the both the dude that is writing the review and the one that asks the question , the saving of money from the new guy asking the question is just a bonus .

I don't know if it's been said before but GW is a BUSINESS, the whole idea of a business is to make money, should they really care that your Dark Talon that you spent £45 is utter gak?

They should care, since they want you to buy it again. Implicit in your statement is that GW deliberately release poor models. They probably release the best models they possibly can, since selling models is what makes money. The fact that you may not like one or two of them doesn't mean it's a deliberate snub on you.

Yes I am sick of it, but I'm now at the stage where I'm immune to it.

I simply laugh at it now, although I slightly feel annoyed by the fact that I will never get the time back it took me to read some of the bitching.
