Maybe a little confusion here (DBO)

It just surprises me how many people complain about people complaining, without contributing any of the nice things that they want. That's a factor that drives people away as well, I'd wager.

I don't think there is any truth to this honestly. I know there are users that do complain about the people complaining, but they're doing so because it's a horde of people just spreading hate and adding nothing constructive to the conversation.

The only people I could see being driven away by this kind of thing are the ones who are solely there to spread said hate, and chances are it won't even do that. On top of that, those users are trying to make an argument for making the forums a better place by stopping the hate and making things constructive, so I'd say that in itself is a contribution.
