Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

The problem is the ones who say they like it most of the time are saying "stop being negative, take a break"

And when you retaliate against that AT all. Suddenly they claim you're trying to silence THEM.

All I've ever argued was it's a valid thing to complain. And when I say that someone will respond "oh so I can't be positive?"

I think it depends on the criticism. If the criticism is "This takes too much effort, dumb it down for me" Then yeah, I'm going to start speaking up and telling the whiners to pipe down.
