A place to wax the hypothetical?

It's a discussion forum. Sometimes people discuss things they are unhappy with.

Crazy, I know.

Funny, I see a discussion board.

I'm just saying there's a lot of QQ that goes on here is all.

So, rather than start a thread that gets a discussion going...you decide to add to your perceived problem by, as you put it, QQing.

I'm creating a discussion about the concerning amount of complaint posts. Anyone who gets butthurt by this can post a reply like yours, I'm simply acknowledging the problem and seeing if others agree. Relax bud, don't get so angry it's bad for your health.

cant leave all the complaining to the dakka discussions thread now can we?

Classy.

also... ironic that you start a complaint thread in general discussion about the complaint threads in general discussion

No, as he said, he is clearly discussing complaining...by complaining. So he can do it, but it is bad if we can't. And if we point that out to him we are 'butthurt' because that makes sense.

I pointed this out in another post.

People like to complain.

God forbid you point out someone is complaining a lot, though. That makes YOU a complainer!

Imagine if you told your spouse or significant other that they are being negative/complaining too much and their immediate reaction was 'so what? you are complaining about me complaining!'

This somehow justifies their toxic attitude. It's a losing battle, man. Best to just move on.

Complaints get more time then compliments. Meaning people will argue about the complaints and will go back and forth with a discussion regarding the complaints. From what I have seen when someone says that a company did this or that right, you get a bunch of people pretty much agreeing and the thread dies fast. But people love to complain and I personally think we are looking to discuss with others why something we love is not right. It is my belief this is because there is serious emotional investment built into this game. Collecting, Modeling, painting, list building, playing... just so much time, sweat and tears invested.

So in my opinion there will always be 10 times more complaining about something then compliments about it. It just human nature.

I'm going to complain that this has feth all to do with 40K.

Anyone wish to issue a rebuttal?

I'm also complaining that this is in the wrong section and the fact that he is perpetuating his own issue.
I think the OP should be cast from the light of Dakka for his indiscretion

I like how you are the only one throwing insults and namecalling, yet the other posters are the 'mad' ones. How's that working for you?

I would seriously try and relax man, it's not that serious. Don't like my thread? You're not obligated to post in it. Have a wonderful day

So complaints are only relevant when they perpetuate or further your own agenda?

If one is to assume you can never comment or call someone out as 'complaining' without in fact being labeled as a complainer yourself, how can you be made fully aware of what you are doing?

Unless you personally acknowledge you are in fact complaining or a complainer, the deflective attitude of anyone that is openly commenting on someones behavior is incredibly juvenile.'I know what you are but what am I?'

The internet never ceases to both simultaneous baffle and amaze me if only to show how far people are willing to go out of there way to just generally be negative people. I guess it's the logic that 'happy news doesn't garner views'.

Thanks dude. Glad there's someone here posting with a head on his shoulders.

Quite.

And if one is unhappy about the nature of the posts on a board it's best not to then insult the posters in said board.
