Yes, I think most people are sick of the bashing (I am) but on the other hand it's very difficult not to respond to posts which defend the PS no matter what.
I think most reasonable people know and accept that yes there is inefficiency and wastage in the PS (inevitable in huge organisations) and that yes, this can be improved on - and no, not all PS workers are to blame for this nor are they all underworked and overburdened with holidays etc.
Also, I think most people accept that the private sector by and large do not receive bonuses/parties etc.
