Just a general observation, not a criticism; the board has become more mean and negative of late...

Maybe it's the pressure we are all experiencing, the multiple global/domestic issues, some due to covid, or, even the fact that politics and society has become so divisive. However, this is my observation.

Am I alone in this view or is my perception accurate?

It is the MAGA people feeling free to do what they do best. It has been going on for a couple of years.

i love you and i love canada and i love life and i love love and i love myself

good enough?
 
It's the nature of social media, where people hide behind anonymity and spout off whatever hate they want, and that's getting meaner and more juvenile all the time. People think they're funny or witty, but all they are is mean. People know they won't ever have to face the person they're spewing hate about, and know that the world won't ever know who they are.

Basically, this format allows the true nature of people to come out.
 
You have not become more negative or mean about Canada in any way. Your vitriol has stayed constant at maximum.

Yes, my criticism is based on my personal plight. A decade later and it's only become worse as I fought hard for my dignity.

Complaining about abusers is different than calling out specific members and/or politicians for all hate against them. Target the policy, not the person in my mantra.

By the way I love my country, I despise injustice and abusers. They have done the most damage.

It is trending exactly as every perceptive pundit forecast it would .

It will get much , much worse in the next few months and anger and violence will become even more common.

Smart people will monitor their own public language outside and also their visits/ venues very carefully .

In a way this unreal space here of virtual reality can act positively for members who have outside anger and behaviour weaknesses .

The site might become even more polarised, vulgar and verbally violent . But cathartic for some .

Mods will have increased difficulty in defining limits .
imho.
 
And that right there is an example. The hatred comes from all over the map, but you pretend it doesn't just to score cheap political hit points.
Thanks for the ignorant cheap shot. :)

Free speech is what makes this place so popular relatively speaking. I believe it is part of the reason people feel free to speak their minds, it's just the personal attacks that I don't understand.

They are meant to scare people off the threads, and the boards all together. Just as if one was in real life at a place and constantly personally attacked. People might move on, get out.

Only took two posts for the HATE to pop out.

Since I don't go to every place at this forum, I really can't say if things have gotten better or worse.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I am still here and so that should tell you at least one thing and that is nothing has bothered me enough in order to make me jump ship at all yet.
