Complaining is some very light form of anger i think and in reality the thing you complain about or you are angry about only triggers something in yourself that is not understood and / or accepted by yourself, so what you complain about would be a mirror of yourself.
I would really be interested in what you or others think of this thesis.
I agree with this for the most part. As Ra stated, everything here is catalyst. I think it is always a good thing to look at self rather than others for the source of conflict. Any time one takes offense at something is a great time to look within.
However, reminding everyone of the guidelines in a thread that isn't being moderated I don't see as complaining or anger. I think Peregrine was just attempting to keep this forum from being messy. And I think it's okay to bring such things up. I see it more as discernment and reponsibility than anger. As another example of this, I know someone who moderates the Facebook LOO Study Group, with something like 12,000 members. He is constantly trying to keep the discussions on track according to the "guidelines," otherwise it becomes a free-for-all that slides into everything BUT the LOO. There is nothing wrong with discussing anything—I do not agree with censorship—however, there are guidelines that one should respect when joining soomething someone else created.
