I saw the same thing happen on a coin board I used to go to. People started getting cliquey, then snarky, then started taking offense where it wasn't warranted, jumping to conclusions, and then there were a rash of forum "suicides". "I'm leaving this forum" type stuff. I for one am ready for some of the people around here to start splitting - there has been a fair bit of name calling and unwarranted butthurt around this little corner of the web lately.

I have had my behavior described as "despicable" and "creepy" in a recent thread, and was a little surprised at the venom that was directed at me. There seem to be lots more people here who are ready to troll than there used to be.
