You don't have to follow my suggestion, but please consider it. I just feel that it generates better mutually beneficial discussion. And as others have said, if you don't like an article, you can always just read something else. |
I just wanted to quote this post for emphasis since I felt it was very worthy of it.
What you need to consider when you make a post about something is "why" you are making the post. It's easy to get caught up in a reaction to what somebody has said/done, but before posting, try to ask yourself "why" you are making the post.
If you are genuinely interested in assisting Steve, some healthy feedback/criticism is one of the best ways of doing it (to see an example,

But if you find that your desire to post is more about Steve not meeting your expectations or preferences, I'd personally not worry about posting and re-channel that energy to more constructive pursuits. Think of what you'd rather be doing and go do that instead of spending time making a post that may make you feel a little better, but will probably pale in comparison to how much better you could have felt if you did something you really enjoy/wanted to do.
