I have only just noticed this comment from 
that poser who pretends to be "your kindly
unca" and who is apparently incapable 
of writing as  _himself_  rather than 
as the fake persona he has adopted

Bart, a "whine" is when somebody complains about
something without doing anything about it. For
instance, workers who complain to everybody except
the boss about their poor wages and conditions 
might be said to be "whining". But when workers
 DEMAND  an end to these intolerable conditions, 
that is not  "whining" .
