Also ironically, people who join up to have a "first post rant" at real or perceived mistreatment surely deserve the same respect of their opinions, yet frequently don't get it.
In that case, we're told people need to be even handed and balanced to gain respect......!
I wonder how many first post compliments there are, and how they are received? My issue is that if you don't take everything in a rant at face value you are immediately shouted down and described as an apologist, somehow a ranter never ever exaggerates to dramatise their account. rarely is anything universally bad, and when rant posts suggest this to be the case it does stretch the credibility a little.
Different people have different expectations and therefore some are easier to please than others. So what is disappointing for some is fine for others. Should the ones that find it fine not have the right to say so?
Just because someone is making a complaint/rant/whinge doesn't make their view more valid than someone else's.
