Can you give some examples from the text? Like you are expressing frustration over something but what is it? It's a long list of arguments with links to supporting articles. I don't understand what your complaint is.

Sounds like the complaint is about tone.

Good example, I see your point. Whoever takes the picture owns it and it is not up to him to decide that it can't be posted on Facebook.
