What did I say was wrong? That there's been nothing but doom and gloom, were not talking worry or uncertainty, were talking straight up cynicism. Of course I care about MJs reputation, but I'm already used to a more tepid/lukewarm appraisal of him, so I have learned not to wear his victories/failures on my sleeve anyway.
More than anything, I just prefer more conducive discussion about things. I'm not gonna spend time complaining about people complaining either.
You may raise a somewhat fair point,though.
were not talking worry or uncertainty, were talking straight up cynicism.
Nonetheless though,so what? What is really wrong with the concept of cynicism and the people that adopt it?
(Or,perhaps,you did not mean to say that there's anything wrong with it and I'm assuming things,once again? If that's the case,then I apologize. I just happen to be curious,tho.)

But people are not the same. Never have been and never will be.
Some people may force themselves to adopt different approaches that they have spotted in others,trying to get as close as possible to what they would consider as a "rational" worldview,while others will continue caring about everything to unhealthy extents,for the better or for the worse(depends on the situation and its context,I suppose).
This is the case of rather different perspectives more than anything else(at least by what I've seen by now,though I have to admit that I haven't read
every single text message,coming from this thread),therefore I see that as purely interesting,more than anything else.
(I might be among the few ones that view the situation like this,but that's even better,to be honest
).
