why does everything with a negative valence attract this criticism? surely there are plenty of times in one's life where he or she says negative things about something (a coworker, a boss, a partner, an acquaintance) without any intent to foster a "productive discussion". as though that is something owed to products / services / people / experiences / whatever that we hate for whatever reason. as though those things would somehow magically improve with any amount of "productive discussion". how about not everyone take it personally when someone dislikes something purely because of the experience that they have had with it? given the comments section, the only way for this "discussion" (some call it a post) to have engendered this tone of discussion while still being on the front page is either (1) everyone disagrees with the post, but hate-upvotes it anyway or (2) the points being made strike a chord with people. and regardless of which it is, this whatever the opposite of saber rattling is that causes this kind of reaction clearly misses the point.
