Listening to complainers is bad for your brain?

I was just doing some random browsing in the Internet and stumbled across this article.

Apparently listening to people complain all the time actually breaks down the hippocampus, making one stupider.  It's good to know (albeit a little late for some of us).  Maybe we can start handling complaints like some people handle second-hand smoke ...?

Of course, as soon as I publish this post I will lose all my readers, none of whom want to be made stupider by following all my complaints.  (sigh) ....
