On etsy, staying positive means saying negative things about other people, their shops, their intentions and possibly what their grandmas did for a living. By page 19 or 22 or so, there's some resistance to this idea. I would propose that all threads that say STOP WHINING EVERYONE ELSE be moved to the bitch and moan section.

Not to mention, I hate how people act like if some lady gets a $5 pity sale, they are somehow winning over them in a huge way, as if every single sale someone else gets is somehow taking away from them. I promote everywhere, and get sales slow and steady.

Ouch, I'd hate to be a noob. At least she's not being all positive before going for the maybe your stuff sucks tack.
