I was gonna make some juvenile, snarky comment but stopped myself just in time.
That doesn't happen everyday, so I'm proud.
I've been on boards/sites since 9/11, some great, some horrid. They all seem to have gone they way of the dust in the wind.
The level of discourse on this site is plummeting. It is nearly impossible to raise a point or issue without it being subjected to inane attempts at juvenile put-downs.

You got that right. Without naming names I'm getting sick and tired of people who never say anything but call you names and put downs of how stupid everyone is that disagrees with them without ever putting up anything to support a thing they say! Even after proven wrong and a liar, they keep repeating crap like a little child in circular tomfoolery. I had such a thing recently with a person who hijacked an entire thread with constant nonsense and I even reported him to moderation to no apparent avail. So, if this place is falling apart, I put part of the blame on certain individuals who are dragging it down (nearly always a Trump/GOP-basher), and a lack of people on staff to keep up the necessary moderation.

Yet lots of conspiracy theory crap is posted, and "you're stupid" is a perfectly reasonable response to those. Most of those have been posted countless times, and credible proof of just how wrong they are has been repeated just as often. "You're wrong, and stupid for saying that again" is the only answer that fits.

Or you could stop reading the stuff if you know its old or wrong, or ask for proof or offer proof to the contrary. Bottom line: there are some people here that would deny the Sun rises in the East even if you opened the window and stuck their face in the sunrise.
Worse, this is more and more a reflection of our society. That's what happens when independent thought is lowered as a priority. We become intellectually paralyzed and regress.The level of discourse on this site is plummeting.

You can't link other sites, you know better, report
I do wish you'd quit with that "we're only pixels on a screen" thing. We are communicating. That means we are sharing our REAL ideas. At least some of us are. Maybe you're not?And why does some of it get so gratuitously personal?
We're only pixels on a screen.
Some old threads from 2008, 2009 have been necroed and I've read some of them. Posters used to be more decorous. Sorry, I don't know how else to put it. They used better English and they were more careful stating their opinions and they didn't become so 14-ish with their insults. I can see that this board has degraded, but it's interesting that you see that everywhere.I was gonna make some juvenile, snarky comment but stopped myself just in time.
