Simple as that.
As much as I happen to agree in this individual case, in general many forum veterans historically jump right to "If you don't like it, leave" whenever anyone criticises the forum in any way.

In my opinion this is an unhealthy behavior for a forum, because it is often applied just as much to useful and constructive criticism as it is to trolling or flaming, and any forum needs the ability for users to air their issues, and have them dealt with usefully.

So, next time you want to tell someone "If you don't like how it is, leave" Consider whether they might have a point, and their idea might actually make things better.

Mind you...I refer here to -constructive- complaints
