Why bother??

[FROSTY:Me]

Im wondering why people bother to organise or start anything in good ol Godzone?
Seems the tall poppy syndrome has gotten so out of control its unreal.

What chew on about, Willis?

Is 'cause yo 'ez black.

I just said the same thing to my husband about offering advice to people that have asked a question, you then get told you're wrong, got ripped off etc and they are in the right without listening and trying to fathom that several people can get different results from the same thing. (oh and you get what you pay for). Rant over.

ez bleck!

Spelling, please.

So many whingers and whiners how stuffs wrong. Not one of em is prepared to stand up and show how anythings soposed to be run/done.

I knoiw exactly what you mean.
Some people are full of "it should be done better..." but never ever put their hand up to offer to help, or organise anything themselves.
It is easy to be an armchair critic, a whole lot harder to do the job.

It's not just this country mate. The world's full of whingers and wowsers.

As long as you can look yourself in the face every day who gives a fuck.

I do. When good people say "ah fuck ya's, I'm outta here" because the gratuitous whinging has destroyed their enthusiasm for putting stuff on for all to enjoy/benefit from. Then I give a fuck.
How dare the naysayers have that 'power' when none of them will take up the challenge of doing something for all...

Noi, noi I iz ze bleck. Ze Frosty iz ze snoman dawg.

Why bother? What a stupid question. I have seen the smiles and admiration of people you have helped over the years. Be it retreiving a bike broke or getting people on the track.

Yes there will always be detractors.....Its good ole NZ afterall. But there will also be some mighty grateful people. Try not to focus on the negative

I believe that most of the time whingers and whiners move on but in some instances they dont.

Its kind of like skidmarks on undies. No one wants to deal with them but they just hang around and dont go away!!!

[Deano]

Someone's got to do it Frosty, or it won't happen. Now that's a scary thought. For me with cliff hanger the positives outweigh the negatives - there are always a few who are not happy - constructive criticism is good but whingers can just eff off.

The day that it stops being fun for me, (negatives outweigh positives) I'm out.

[Jantar]

I hear you Frosty and its a very common issue. My approach is to just carry on despite the whingers and tell them that if the rides (or other events) I'm organising doesn't suit them then no-one is forcing them to participate.

Keep up with what you are doing. You have far more supporters than detractors.

I agree Janet. They always trying to tell people how to run it, do it or if it should be canned or they think they know it all,but never add any value/contribution to it from themselves. If they think they can do better do it themselves ....... but hangon that takes time effort commitment organisation. They always think they can do better.
