I note that since 5pm Mudcat time on August 6th (Guest, traddles message), there has been a marked decline in guest participation in this thread.

A quick count shows 38 messages from Mudcat members (the usual suspects) flaming every guest post, and a whopping 7 messages from guests.

So for the past 2 days, Mudcat sycophants have been flaming away at "mere guests".

And we are supposed to presume, by this behavior, that it is the guests who have a problem?

Looks to me like Mudcat has become a nesting ground for net nuts.

The personalities of the members certainly fit the MO.
