I’m sick of the “don’t post doom and gloom” admonitions. If someone feels that way about a post, they should move on or put the poster on ignore. There’s simply no need to chastise someone for honestly expressing their thoughts. That’s what a discussion board is for.

Besides, right now, doom and gloom is reality; it’s not some far fetched imaginary made up thing for someone to complain about. It’s every day life.
