Sure, sometimes we just want to vent.  We get it off our chest, get a little validation, then we feel better.

But some folks just don't get over it.  There's plenty of them at on-site jobs as well.  Complaining becomes a way of life.  We've all met them, they search diligently for what's wrong with any and every situation.  They are full of dire predictions when anyone else is happy, when anything changes, when they get out of bed in the morning.

On this board, I've seen many people unable to let go once they get it off their chest.  They make sure to bash a company they worked for a few years back every time its name comes up.  If anyone tries to give them a suggestion to improve a problem, they shoot it down in the nastiest way.  These people claim to have tried "everything" and sneer at anyone who keeps trying, and they never admit they are venting for venting's sake.

I think the point the OP was making is valid, because there are many chronic complainers here.  They are very unhappy in general, and they refuse to be proactive and try to change all the wrongs they see.  Its hard to give them any sympathy when all they want to do is argue and be very hateful to anyone that doesn't agree that everything is awful and nothing can be done about it.
