   Yes, that's what I've said, but you wanted to argue with me about it.   
   Nobody else sees it, Jim.  It's just YOU.

   And nobody bothered even when you started caterwauling about it?  Why   
   do they all hate you so, Jim?

   Really?  On what planet?   
      
   Let me help you out.  "This meat is overcooked."  Assuming the meat   
   actually is overcooked, that's a statement of fact.  It's also a   
   complaint about the state of the meat.   
      
   Now tell me again how a "statement of fact is not a complaint".

   Yet here you are, still caterwauling about it.

   You are
