I sure hope this isn't direct towards me (again) because I thought it was a lame argument before when Magik used it and I think it is a lame argument now as well.
So what if someone doesn't offer a specific alternative to a policy or action they disagree with, why does it matter? [/QUOTE]
It wasn't directed at ANY member in particular, Chewbacca. That's why I said it was generally directed at all the criticisms and complaints of some of the measures that had been taken.
But I disagree with the viewpoint that it is a lame argument. To me, it is just as lame to go around complaining all the time without offering any alternatives. Why? Because just complaining about a problem doesn't make the problem go away...nor does it do anything productive towards solving the problem.
I'm not saying you have to have all the answers, but if you don't like the way something is being done, then why not share how you would like it to be done. Otherwise, it sounds like your complaining merely for the sake of complaining.
