I consider "bashing" to be posts that contain little actual information other than a writers gripes about their personal experience. Several other posters, plus Francois, explained the give and take very well. Some only a one sided gripe.
Many RCU threads bashing a product or service always place the blame on the vendor. We never get the full story if the basher was rude or demanding rather than communicating the issue clearly and giving the vendor time to research and solve the problem.
