I have a completely different outlook on this.

First, I am far and away an SP player, but I do enjoy MP and can relate to many MPer's complaints and issues. That said, I think all of this strife and arguing illustrates that there is an even more fundamental underlying problem with the game in general and the direction CA is taking. As xdanger so neatly pointed out, I had two very long-winded posts in the "MP losing appeal" thread that outline my thoughts on this and how I think CA can improve the situation for everyone.

Lastly, I'll just say that personally, if I buy a product which I think is defective in some shape or form, doesn't live up to my expectations, or has some significant room for improvement, I'm going to do what I can to communicate that with both the product maker and my fellow consumers.

From conflict and criticism can arise positive change and progress. Fanboyism and telling folks with honest well thought-out critical posts to "give it a rest" or "stop complaining" does nothing to help this. Likewise mindless whining that's not well thought out or worded with no specific purpose does nothing either.

Have a good day folks.
