this is...The Complainant

This blog is aimed at deconstructing the comment/complaint duality, whereby "comment" is the privaleged term, and "complaint" is seen in a less-valued, negative light. Just kidding. I just want to bitch about things. As such The Complainant will battle the forces of complaisance at every turn, restoring the "complaint" back to the lofty status that Aristotle, or somebody like that, meant it to have.

Complaint: An expression of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment.
Complainant: a party that files a formal charge, as in court of law.

I hereby file a formal charge against the world.
