Random e-complaining about stuff one didn't pay for are just as important as those typed, written or otherwise made visible by people who actually paid for it.
Someone might be thinking of paying for the product, and then have second thoughts after reading these complaints. Doesn't necessarily mean the person was one to change his views and make decisions based on every single little thing he read on the internet, just that the opinion he read might bring up something this potential buyer didn't think of at first.
Also, I don't see why said complaint's value was any lower than the complaints driven on the original complainer's face; as long as it's not against the rules. Complain vs. complain, and no one paid anything to anyone - and I know I'm starting to sound lame there.
And why bring something like the non-invitational party, people bringing food and some of the cheap chaps complaining about the terrible food others brought.. Has something that extreme really even happened here? Can you really even compare internet discussion to a real life party?
I see all this complaining about complaining as nothing more than an overreaction. Like if you were in a room, full of people who are ready to share their opinions with everyone and discuss about their shared interests. And then you gave someone a piece of paper and asked them to read it, without even mentioning anything about it being your opinion and not a fact or anything, and they just turned their back and started complaining about your opinions and ways in life, calling you childish and an asshole. And, of course, the volume of all this far exceed any sort of good limits.
But then again, what I just thought of doesn't really work either. Who cares.
Of course, crying and making a scene where you will complain, bash down to the ground and pretty much just burn a product you got for free and didn't like - THAT is childish. Absolutely no need for that. Just quietly saying one's opinion isn't exactly the same thing, in my opinion.
Asshole is just too vague a word to really even say anything to it. I'm an asshole, the complainer is an asshole, the One Who Complained about the complainer's complaints is an asshole, the neighbour's dog is an asshole... let's all be assholes. Makes it all a whole lot easier.
That being said, I loved this:

If you buy the manga, then you have a right to complain. Since you're paying for the services. If your reading it for free, be quiet. :3
The subtle wave of calmness and composure in that post... Nice one:3
And in a way, that is a good point as well. I just think that completely burying people's opinions based only on their decisions on how they use their money is a bit too much. As long as they don't act like what they say is the one and only truth, absolutely just smash it down your throat AND as long as they're the kind who are willing to pay for stuff they like, why not let them have their little post in the corner, just like anyone else.
ZombieMan's way of putting it was never really the ideal. Been looking at some of his posts and they are all pretty much full of overreacting and sometimes even making a scene about it without really giving out a good reason to do so.
And I know I'm quite good at overreaction as well. What was I even complaining about? I don't know. You figure it out. Maybe it'll give someone an inspiration to do something nice. Like stare out of the window, at the sky so high and the trees so tall, only to figure out that you're wasting your time. But it might be relaxing, and thus well worth it.
Or maybe this way of relaxing isn't perfect? I think sharing one's opinion, discussing about it, making constructive criticism and complaining about stuff - and whether this all should be accepted - is all relative to the time and place, and how you actually do it. A certain scream post about Bleach sucking earlier in the thread makes me surprised it hasn't gotten even more criticism on it. But a certain post later on in this thread got way too much attention for simply stating an opinion, and in quite a calm and good way.
Just let it go, is it really worth wasting your time? Or that's what I'd like to say. I'm not one to complain about people complaining about complaining. I'll just share my views, take my load of name-calling and whatever I can get out of it and move on :3
I hope you didn't waste too much time reading this massive load of randomness :S
Ah, and I will pay for Bleach, once it's all complete. I don't have the money yet and have a ton of other stuff I need to pay for first, so bare with me and my childish ways for now. Please don't call me an asshole too often, because it tends to lose its value for when you'd actually use it for a good reason.
