Possibly, That or anyone with differing ideas gets attacked by a couple idiots, ridiculed by others until they leave - leaving mostly a group who all think similarly about most things. I thought the cellar was different - I know it used to be. Now it seems every thread gets reduced to a joke, or lolcatz or a pissing match. I for one am tired of it yet it seems that is what is "wanted" for lack of a better term. I was as much to blame as anyone else, I admit that. Now, I'm just tired of it.
