Well, if he's talking about people who buttonhole strangers at bus stops to bemoan the dark, dark angst of their brilliant artistic life, I guess I'd be on his side. If those people exist. I've heard stories, but never actually spotted one in the wild.

If he's talking about people who complain on their own blogs, well, er, that's what blogs are for, right? It's a pull-technology rather than a push-technology, so I figure that people who don't want to listen to me whine about whatever I'm feeling whiny about on that particular day can take me out of their bookmarks or off their friends list. I certainly don't expect that Garrison is stopping by to check up on me and my stories about my kids.
