Please learn to read more carefully. If I'd said "it is simple whining"
you would've been accused of whining, yes. I said it "can seem like
simple whining." Notice the specific word choice - "can seem like." This
suggests, explicitly, that it's *not* "simple whining" but may look like
it to some people, which is why you got a very negative response from
some others. Believe me, if I wanted to accuse you of whining I'd just
have said "complaining about it after the fact is nothing more than
simple whining."

Seriously, be a bit less defensive and try not to jump to conclusions.
