I think Praise got it right. Mudcat IS become a black hole of negativity. I'd never thought I'd hear myself do it, but I miss MY old days of the Mudcat, where we had music and GOOD B.S. threads. Not it's all politics and garbage. I mean, we've already got THREE threads on the stupid English Reclamation of America thing. And the forum is loaded with threads about "What XXX do you hate?" and threads with everyone heartily agreeing about how stupid something is. Total Mudslide is what I call it. I'm hardly ever hear anymore. Time was, I used to read almost every thread. Now, I'm lucky if I read 2 or 3 a day. I guess I too will drift off into the realm of lurking former members who long for the Golden days.

May the Goddess of Mudcrap bless your asses.
