From what it looks like on these threads lately, I agree wholeheartedly. I've also noticed that the increased pressure has led to an increased level of snarkiness by them as well. In their desperation it seems they've recruited a few semi-literate dolts to bolster the effort. I'm sure that you've recognized them by the grunt-like appeals to authority that they spit out, over and over and over.
I like your poetic touch:
“...the grunt-like appeals to authority that they spit out, over and over and over.”
Almost Carl Sandburg-esque.
