Rather than an analogy, I'll offer an actual event that happened with a person I knew. This person endlessly complained about a particular hair dresser in a beauty Salon that she went to. No matter how much the hair dresser tried to satisfy this person, she was always extremely critical after each visit. This person complained so endlessly that she finally succeeded in getting the hair dresser fired. There was so much upset in the beauty salon among the other hair dressers that the employer investigated the matter more thoroughly and discovered that the problem was the customer, not the hair dresser. The hair dresser that was fired was well-liked by her other customers.

As an analogy - this story rather depends on who you are encouraged to see as the complainant and who you see as the customer and what is the aim.

I cannot view the following as anything other that a complaint of the most fundamental kind, and this after a never-ending list of public complaints about posters, made by the same individual over many years.

And despite our best efforts, Mudcat is no longer a pleasant place to hang out and goof off or have a good discussion.

To go on from the hairdresser story - this the equivalent of the shop's manager complaining about the staff to the customers and to the customers about the staff and telling the shop's owner that they require the hairdressers shop to be changed into a chip shop.

Such a statement does little to help the morale of the staff, very little to encourge the existing customers or any new ones who still turn up expecting their hair to be done . It may be some encouragement to those who like chips - but as has been pointed out many times - there are no shortage of chip shops eleswhere.
