So far, I've seen people complaining about the Rising documentary not being National Geographic calibre, Legend of Korra ending being lackluster with a weak story, everything in Heart of the Swarm, and some whiny ass yahoo editor about Justin Gatlin's comment that "Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh should mud wrestle for Olympic spot" (stupid story here -> http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/justin-gatlin-says-allyson-felix-jeneba-tarmoh-mud-234938932--oly.html). All this within an hour and 30 minutes of browsing the internets.

The irony in all this is that i'm whining as well. People should just chillax, drink some tea, Earl Grey, hot, and enjoy what they have.

What people should do is take action - i.e. vote with your wallets

Earl Grey? really? if you want people to relax I'd suggest suggesting something with chamomile in it...like...Sleepy Time or something Tazo Zen...

...tea sounds so tasty...

Did that article get removed? I can't read it haha, I guess sometimes people who complain too much get what they deserve.

It's not going to be a new ending...it's going to be an "expanded" one. Turn that smile upside down. We didn't win that one.

They're not whining, they're giving a disapproving opinion.

I agree in some ways, as whine is defined by: "Complain in a feeble or petulant way."

As long as their opinion is explained and backed up, however, it is valid. Even the complaint that Liquid Rising was not what they had expected and they disliked it as a result is valid - and potentially solved by better targeting trailers etc. if a solution is desired or needed.

So long as you don't devolve into name-calling and false arguments, you can have a critical and incompatible opinion. That's just how things work - everyone has different preferences.

I'll just throw in an example. I liked the Liquid Rising documentary because it accomplished the goal of giving me a good idea about the motives and goals of each individual liquid member - who I haven't ever interacted with. I thought the art direction and production values were excellent and kudos.

The trailers and announcements for it were a little misleading as they talked about delaying it for tournament results - which implied a story was going to be constructed. It did not feature this in any way, but it was also not required to. A clearer definition of what kind of documentary it was going to be beforehand would have resolved this complaint.

Versus.

"Liquid Rising sucked, and you're all tit-sucking liquid drones for liking it."

You can't vote with your wallet on something you already bought (and only ever need to buy once). You can ask for a refund, but that's unlikely to happen for a game you already played from start to finish. What you can do is tell people that you disliked it and thus influence other people not to buy it.

In other words: complain!

People complain on the internet all day because they don't think they will get into trouble cause no one actually will know who they are in the real world.

strangely enough complaining is the most potent social force these days, i say bring dueling back. the person who accepts the duel offer gets to pick the weapon of choice; to the death; etc
