LOL at ManleyStanley - yeah, the squeeky wheel gets grease, and the squeeky mouse sometimes gets the cheese... but Ive got another addage for ya - you can catch more flies with honey, than you can vinegar.

Seriously tho... don't think stating your grievances is the issue (I dont mean you in the literal sense - but anyone, just to clarify) I think the pungency in which they are voiced is often an issue here. I would definitely not fault anyone for their opinions, you are entitled to them. But if you want others to listen to them, the best way to state them is calmly and rationally. It speaks in volumes.
