With the exception of a couple of threads where I think your points are well taken, I read much more frustration (and, often, too much mind-reading) into statements by the LBS in reference to the WAS. I may be reading the wrong threads, but what you are citing doesn't seem all that prevalent.
That being said, there are a couple of threads in which that behavior of the WAS has been unabashedly abhorrent toward the LBS or, worse yet, their own children. In instances like this where newbies especially are accepting too much of the blame and in crisis, is it really so awful call the WAS a "coward" or words to that effect?
Yes, the direction you suggest is ultimately to support others by helping them focus on themselves, but very early on when they are still in the "picking oneself up off of the floor" phase commiserating as noted may help get the LBS into a mindset where they can do so (nice run-on sentence, eh?)...
But, again I may not be following the threads where you two have noted a prevalence.
