Salmoneus you actually haven't had any insight to contribute either. You are just being critical of people based on isolated incidents of their responses in this thread only.
You're, in effect, outright ignoring the potential for habituation effects to occur, by suggesting each thread receives a high amount of attentiveness and fair play,
But not acknowledging that the game itself isn't fair because he isn't allowing the forum any down time to cool off between these threads. Without this requisite down time, people are sure to habituate to his threads and then when the stimulus still persists post-habituation, people get sensitive to it. And what I'm saying is now they have reached the point where they are sensitive to everything and responding with general irritation.
Group hug as the doc prescribed
You want a freaking answer as to why everybody is so freaking sensitive well here is your freaking answer. Damn,
It doesn't even take years or months, it can take weeks depending on how attentive one generally is to the forum...
