When it comes to whining, I think the dose is really the poison (at
least as far as its effect on listeners). The occasional comment about
a bad day is not unwelcome.
But so it is with prescriptions for the behavior of others. When the
demonization goes on for many posts, most of which could have been a lot
shorter and still capture the essence, it starts to resemble
sermonizing, which IMO is right up there with whining as annoying list
behaviors.
