Why do you, personally, voice negative opinions or leave negative comments online?

Haters, assemble!!!!

Jokes aside, I want to know what drives you to inform the rest of a website, chat, forum, or thread, that you don't like/enjoy/want/do something.

I wanna hear what your impetus is.

Is the act cathartic? Do you have a personal, negative experience with the thing you're complaining about? Is the impulse automatic or do you think about it every time?

The question is only as serious as you make it, but I'm curious all the same.

I think you're over thinking it, frankly. In an ordinary discourse, sometimes 'negative' points will arise, and if you aren't specifically averse to addressing such points then there's no specific reason to avoid it.

Essentially, there are a great many people who don't even consider such issues the same way that you do.
