I think the worst is the fact Mudcat is searchable by Google. Not so much a problem with the music, but the searchable flame wars and personal (to someone) bugaboos have really attracted some nasties. Hell, even the music threads can get crazy when there are endless postings of the SAME lyrics.

Facebook, and presumably other sites, don't really worry me. My Facebook friends would either enjoy the threads and be nice in them or not look. If I send out a links to things they don't like, they'll probably just ignore me. I don't think a lot of my friends are spammer-troll-predators.

It would be better to have more people here who would appreciate the good stuff than stick with the same old crabby people with the same old complaints because of the same old bugs up their asses, and yes, I'm talking about me too. I rather like the thought of fresh voices with new points of view.
