I’m tired of the hate that is taking over this site......
It’s everywhere. Did you expect this place to be immune?

It is a concern. As I’m sure you will agree, some people deserve that hate. When it comes to entertainers, I’d put Hanoi Jane Fonda and rapist Harvey Weinstein in that category.
But not everyone who disagrees with us is a monster. Most of those folks are some combination of naive, stupid, and brainwashed. They do damage. But they aren’t deliberately evil. And that’s where I’d put Barbra Streisand. I’m not interested in anything she might say politically.
But I don’t hate her. And I will continue to enjoy her music.
Same here. There's no excuse for it. In every day life we may blurt out something out of frustration we later realize is hateful, but to type it out and post it takes real pre-meditation.

Thank you for this post.
Understood, but it is important to make note of those that are promoting the hate. Is it old or new users? If new, are they trolls? If much older users, is it because this is what happens when one watches everything that is true and beautiful, despite their best efforts is slowly removed?
Consider this from Philippians 4:
Final Exhortations
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
May we all keep this in our hearts.
You are not alone.
It has become tiresome, yes.
No kidding. It’s almost like the place is being infiltrated.
