If you want to badmouth how it's gotten so terrible and how it used to be so much better, at least take a moment to think about what, specifically, you find so objectionable. Just saying "it sucks now" is counterproductive and just feeds a negative atmosphere. Saying that "certain people" are the problem is even worse, because not only are you playing the blame-game, you're also unwilling to be the change you want to see when you don't like something. Either learn to ignore others and move along if you have a difference of opinion, or speak out - in a civilized manner - about it. Offer a solution, otherwise you're not helping anything. Stop complaining and do something productive."}
