Why is everyone so mean spirited?

My honest opinion, sorry if you don't like it:
Those who complain the loudest about the mean spirited are themselves mean spirited.
Maybe it's a lack of a sense of humour and taking life and chess too seriously xxx

What on earth are you spouting here?
Well, my lifetime of experience in the field suggests that quite a high number of chessplayers (especially "serious" players) seem to be in a state of permanent disgruntlement. As though early on a lot of them were dropped on their heads.
