If I could just jump in here for a moment- you said:
It seems to me that it's you who are tiring of [your perception of] the large amount of negativity -- which is fine, but your delete key works in this case too. Or your scroll wheel. _____________________
This seems a little hypocritical. Isn't this the exact same argument that the badficcers make, and which is dismissed by the opposition as being non-constructive?
So, maybe this hasn't been constructive to this point, so allow me to propose something more to that end. It seems to me that making a periodic, general rant to hundreds of people in the hopes that an odd newbie will see the light seems wasteful. Why not target the criticism a little better, and offer it specifically to people who are actually seeking it? There's less fall-out from the badficcers who don't want to change, and it will save the rest of us the redundancy.
