Person B: ugh, here are 5 reasons why that thing kinda sucks…
When I was younger, I appreciated Person B a lot more. Nowadays I’m much more like “my dude, why would you see someone expressing joy for something and try to bring it down?”
@matt I had thousands of posts on a forum that I'd been part of for 10 years and left it (quietly) when it became dominated by Person B (or rather, several B's). While debate and criticism are fine, it's usually pretty obvious when someone is expressing joy in something--and what kind of person wilfully dumps on that? My avatar is a kitten in part to remind me to be gentle and kind. :)
