The myth of negativity

    One of the most annoying things on this BBS for me is the constant generalised slating of the negativity on it. Now I'm generally positive, often annoyingly so I'm sure, but even I have the occasional whine. But when I do and if you disagree then reply to that post, not in a general "Oh, the people on this board . . ." post. Every time we lose the BBS is full of people complaining about how other people are complaining. And then other people feel they have to defend themselves and so on.

    Sure, criticize the negativity. I'm right behind you. But do it to their faces (i.e. on their threads) and to specifics. Enough of this often ill-founded generalisation.

    Who was that aimed at?

    Seemed a bit generalised to me

    In any case it happens after (almost) every defeat - especially when we play badly - sounded like we were never in the game today

    Now we have people complaining about people complaining about people complaining, and I'd like to put in a complaint about it. :D :D :D

    Indeed. It was an inevitable but valid criticism.

    Anyway, Mrs Burgundy Red has got back from shopping so I've got to go and look impressed by "bargains". Catch you all later.
