FWIW....I also see the OP has posted his 'vent' on another thread, word for word, and I never found one reply that wasn't supportive. Guess when you're actually 'in the soup' together your perspective differs. Also, don't take my posts to mean I think I, or anyone, should "beat up" verbally on cruise staff or each other. Wouldn't be my choice of words but when we explain things differently to each other, we sometimes take a different meaning from those words.
