I have been pondering this idea for a few days, and decided there may be those who would welcome a safe place to complain without fear.
One would have to be quite tone-deaf to not quickly realize Tnet is full of grizzled treasure hunters who give short shrift to complaining. Even the kids are grizzled!
This can be unsettling to those who are used to forums where whining is met with heart emojis and virtual hugs.
People who have stared down a grizzly at the entrance to a forgotten mine, or wrestled a great white for a real de plata, do not have much sympathy for someone who got chased off a permission by a garter snake. Therefore people hesitate to share problems which are minor to some, but loom large in their day.
So here it is: a safe place to whine about anything.
Hopefully, whining posted here will stay here, and not be brought up in other threads. If a user feels compelled to respond to a whine by questioning the whiner's toughness, or lack thereof, the user should be more gentle and kind than in other forums.
