Now we've got the general public finding L &D and thinking that's all Wrong Planet is like. Very worrying.

Given the nature of the complaint, the knowledge of the site displayed by that commenter, and the name they posted under, I'm pretty sure that's a certain disgruntled L&D regular taking advantage of the soap box, not some random person that happened to stumble in here.
Do you think anything written about that forum was inaccurate? Unbalanced, maybe, because that is only a subset, but the negative stuff can get really overwhelming and off-putting, making it hard to hear the other voices there. I go there sometimes seeing if there is someone looking for honest advice I make actually be able to help with, but as a woman it takes a thick skin just to dip a toe in.
I'm more inclined to argue that it is venting and not fully representative of how the individuals feel in real life more than I am to argue that the tone doesn't exist.
