[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has the nastiness on DCUM always been this bad or is there an increase? It's just awful. I understand things can get heated when talking about politics, for example, but even posts on mundane topics become a battlefield. Twice in recent weeks I posted completely innocuous comments in discussions and someone responded in such a sarcastic manner that I didn't go back. I've seen people who post a question about a health matter get ridiculed, and know not to open some threads because it is so toxic. I wonder how much of this is attributable to just a few people (there does seem to be some commonalities) but surely no one has that much time on their hands. I also wonder if they are like this in real life, which is kinda scary. [/quote]

This is exactly why it would never work. Even in an anonymous format you have people looking for and assuming commonalities in posts. Imagine what that would amount to if someone could track every comment. This site would cease to exist.[/quote]
