Every place has it's share of people with questionable ways of dealing with things. I noticed this trend of directly/indirectly addressing what appears to be mostly private dramatic situations quite a while ago, it even seemed to go on when everyone agreed that the tone here was too harsh. I don't particularly like seeing it, but I doubt people will ever stop doing it - don't mistake this for a defense of the behavior. I tend to note who's doing it when I see it and honestly, without deeper know into the situations, it just them in a bad light. I tend to avoid rping with people that go dramatic in public because I don't want to end up as the victim for a misguided hate-campaign - even if someone has done something bad, I don't think that's a proper way to deal with it. I don't think I'm alone in avoiding/being careful around people with this kind of behavior, and considering we're all here to find RP it all seems very like a very detrimental thing to do.
Personally, I use tumblr as a place to post screenshots of my adventures in xiv and in minecraft (playing a bunch of that whilst waiting on heavensward), and then I really like those question me-me's (I think that's what theyre called), I think they're quite fun even though I rarely get asked. I follow a number of blogs belonging to roleplayers in the community who use it for the same.
So there are good people on tumblr as well, and I'd encourage anyone to make a blog for these purposes - could drown out some of the negative ^^ (If you have a blog like this lemme know, I will follow you and like your things )
One thing will always be true though, if you talk shit about other people it's always going to come back and bite yourself in the behiney. It doesn't matter how anonymous or how secretive you're going about it, people have a knack for finding out, making assumptions and growling over it. If you don't like someones behavior, just take a deep breath and if you need a venue to rant, use a trusted friend - not a public channel/page, not your FC chat etc.
