Different people have different tolerances for certain issues and as customers we all have a right to voice them. Just because one person has no issue with how things are implemented does not mean that their stance supersedes others, either. No one's opinions hold more 'weight' and that's a dangerous precedent to set.

With that said however, actively antagonizing others is not the way to go about it. I'm aware of who you are referring to and some of their posts and I do agree very much that debates should be kept civil.

Our venue might be a forum rather than a megaphone, and we might post waves of threads instead of marching down a street, but the core approach being taken is quite familiar to anyone involved in activism of any kind.

Besides, as another long-running complaint thread has successfully pointed out, SE hasn't exactly left us many options. There aren't any real customer surveys; the Live Letter questions are predominantly cherry-picked softballs. Sure, we could just leave - and honestly, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on that myself - but by the same token, you could just stop reading negative threads on the forums.

In short: please don't tell others how to behave or what to do. We've as much right to voice negative opinions as you do to voice positive ones. And you can count on me to say the exact same thing if I come across a thread requesting people stop creating positively-themed posts, too. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple as that, for all forum-goers, regardless of what opinions are held.
I can respect what you're saying, because you said it in a respectful manner. And I will respond in the same respectful manner. I don't think that the complaints are invalid. I may not agree with them, but I recognize that people have legitimate concerns. But the same issues are being brought up repeatedly and they are going nowhere. In my opinion, these complaints really are not going anywhere. True, you are restricted to 40 characters on the support website, but in that same token, what has been the most reasonable way to get the devs to take notice of something: gaming websites, huge unsub numbers, things of that nature. Keep in mind, my comments are not directed at those who have issues with the game and want to unsub. They are specifically for those who have been constantly complaining about the exact same things for the last week and a half.

Again, I have no problems with complaints. What I'm pointing at right now is the same ones constantly occurring over multiple threads that it feels like nothing positive can be talked about right now.
