It might be your POV that's tired. There are times for honest criticism no doubt. But snarking on people cuz you think you're getting some kind of revenge is usually not effective and often backfires.

My man Lao Tzu is big on the concept I'm getting at. Like his line about the worst way to try to influence people is to condemn their conduct.
