Subject: RE: BS: Anyone know where the Fun has gone!
Peace, can you fill me in some more?

I've frequented the site for about six or seven years, but 99.9% of the time it was just to quietly plunder the DT for lyrics, and only
V E R Y sporadically to interact in the Forum. (Until recently. Blame cabin fever.)

So there was a time the B.S. threads weren't dominated by inflammatory rhetoric posted by folks specifically trolling for a fight?

Not that there's anything wrong with healthy debate; but people are people, and hot-button topics have a way of stankifyin' the general goodwill very quickly. This happens often enough by accident, when it's not actively encouraged by folks who are the conversational equivalent of arsonists (i. e., pour the gasoline, light the match, stand back and salivate with glee.)

Seriously. A quick glance inside a couple of those threads was enough to make me want to shower for hours.

Slán,
