Communication and discussion are good *if* productive. While the online
world is about sharing of information, that doesn't mean that we have to
share *all* information.

Saying things to hear yourself talk annoys everyone else.

If people wish to discuss a topic of how to improve things, it is great.
Of course they have to be willing to actually *do* something instead of
proposing things for others to do for them.

If poeple wish to complain about a topic without there being proposals
on how to improve it, it's complaining. Complaining a little is acceptable.
Complaining a lot is whining.
