It is a human right..to complain ;-)

You want to take away our human rights?? It won't happen ;-)

...doing so on the forum is no big deal as far as I am concerned 
... and if the complaint is important enough, the right people 
tend to here sooner or later. If not, their work gets discredited 
or people improve upon it.

and btw. Complaints aren't always legitimate complaints. People 
mostly see what they wan't to see.

I think *very* differently, that is, I believe people should 
*NOT* be limited to expressing only the nice fluffy stuff we all 
like to hear.

You need to handle that negativity also, and not stop others from 
expressing it.

Negative emotions are as legitimate as positive emotions, and it 
a human right to express both.
