I agree!!! I have let it be known in the PM's and emails, that I will not be a party to their attitudes or their games... nor did I appreciate them trying to recruite me. I tried being polite at first, but that did not get me anywhere...so I took a more firm, but still polite stand, and I don't hear from them anymore... but they still PM and email others.
I am not talking about a little venting...it was getting pretty ugly, and when I would not join in, they would get even more insistent. It is not that they are just grousing amongst themselves, they start trying to bring other people into it, too. Then it starts escalating.......
Yes if they truly have or see a problem, bring it here or PM a moderator or Admin...but these individuals wont' do that, and not because they are intimidated by them.
