But why was board better years ago? More heated debates or just because team was better?

Mostly just because the team was better and people were happier. People are just edgier these days with turmoil the team has faced. The board is fine and its great to get new posters and new blood involved. 99.9% everyone is pretty cool.

I think this is it.

As time has gone on - in social media as well - people hide behind the anonymity of a place like this and really can tend to be downright rude & say things they would never say to a person's face. We as a society are losing our humanity...our compassion for others ..and I think that's sad.

One reason I have stayed away from this board more & more has been due to how nasty some folks have gotten with others. If that is being watched more carefully I applaud the mods.

MD wasn't a part of that problem though. In fact, he was a victim of it.

Exactly. In fact, I’d say the biggest perpetrator of nastiness wasn’t banned, but hasn’t posted in awhile either which has eliminated the toxicity here.

MD hardly personally attacked others. He was crazy, but civil and fine. It was others who couldn’t handle him and insulted him yet ironically pushed a movement to ban him.
