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.
