Sad but true. FR used to be the go to place for a decent heads up on breaking news. After a session I would be at least a day ahead of the networks.

Now, it is all about getting points for the snarkiest comment in the fastest time.

Overall, I get the feeling that the adults have left the room on most threads. I almost never go past three comments on a thread anymore.

What upsets me is that even now the same people complaining about the loss of civility are the ones making fun of others. To be fully honest I have a facial deformity and get very little if any respect anywhere I go. I have a college degree but can’t land a decent job. Was tutoring for a while but that abruptly ended even though the children liked me and I was improving all their grades. Now even Christian and Conservative sites have become cliquey. It also really hurts when people old enough to be my grandparents insult me like a schoolyard bully. Although it shouldn’t surprise me as even nursing homes have to have assigned seating at dinner to keep the peace.
