Reason for increased complaints about examiners badmouthing others and inflating their own abilities:

From Thanksgiving through New Year's, that is a 'slow season' for many examiners. Most potential clients are instead spending their money on Christmas gifts and travel. Some examiners, feeling the lack of income, are more prone to such unprofessional behavior. Those that professionally improve their businesses all year long instead of gossiping are more prepared for slow times.
