I know when I post a positive thread I still don't just flop out a statement and leave it at that because then it's pointless to even be a thing.
Not when the statement is intended as a show of support and solidarity. The truth of the matter is criticism here both relies upon and gives way to hyperbole far too often. And in contrast a simple, clear and broad message of support is often needed as a palate cleanser to that level of what honestly seems to be blanketed and misguided venting.

But more important than the posts themselves form individualists that feel need the desire to post, (and post repeatedly) is the votes behind them. In both threads, Yoshi-p's support is higher by quite a bit and voices of reasons are being uplifted - showing where the real feelings regarding both the hyperbolic criticism and the generalized support is.

Until the discussion of such things can be done without click-bait level titles, blatant trolling and nonconstructive criticism - such positive counter-threads are needed to serve as islands in the sea of individualists acting like a puffer fish to make their problems seem larger than they actually are.

If it wasn't against the ToS, I'd wager a list of common detractors would begin to highlight just how much this board is lead around the nose by a (very) vocal few, rather than representative of the larger base.
