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.
