Fred, some of them are funny.

I've developed a detached attitude about the place. I don't share the sort of stuff I shared a couple of years ago. There are people I might have looked forward to meeting that I just don't want to know now. We used to be on our best behavior here - now we seem to be nurturing our worst sides. (See above for examples.) We used to try not to reply to trolls - remember that pledge thingie? Now, there are more posts responding to trolls than to any other threads.

I wonder how much worse Mudcat will (or can) get before it gets better. I think this place may either burn itself out or people may start to feel some sense of responsibility about what topics they respond to...in a pig's eye.

Cynical me...
