How often do you see a venting post here, and wish you could hear the other persons side of the story?

Only if it's someone complaining about another user here and especially if it's a popular regular doing the venting. I've been subject to popular users making posts about me and playing the victim when I was the one being harassed by them. Of course, everyone just eats it right up and sympathizes with them, lol. Even if they knew the truth, they would still be supporting their BS because that's just the community we have here. But that's all okay, because it's helped me learn not to take things at face value around here when people start talking about other users or situations.
