Indeed, and all that bitching with small details supposedly ruining things we don't even know yet is just sad. Often we know very little about the stuff we complain about, and I think it's a damn shame that people don't appreciate what they have more than they do some times.

If anything, I'll disagree with him that gaming is the worse (though those are the communities I spend the most time).  Just go read a typical comment thread on an Engadget news story, imdb forum for a movie or tv show, listen to sports or political radio talk shows or an Adam Corolla podcast and you'll see its all over the place.

Its a miserable, nonconstructive world view that I personally feel is very destructive.  Honestly, even if the odds are 1:5,000,000, is it worth it to stir up just one of those mentally unstable people out there into action?  Criticism is only good if it is constructive, complaining if it is genuine need.
