[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Imagine what that would amount to if someone could track every comment. This site would cease to exist.[/b][/quote]

Nah. It’s how most discussion forums work.[/quote]
