And that points to the other recent problem many are experiencing with FR. In my first 8 years here I had one real argument with another FReeper. We used to be entitled to our own opinions, and we accepted that our areas of disagreement were small. In the past year nearly every post I've made of substance has elicited a string of insults from someone who joined fairly recently.

I show up to check the headlines these days, but rarely bother attempting to discuss them.

You know, if someone is stalking you and harassing you like that, you could alert the mods to it. I'd think that they'd be interested in knowing about it. It's generally discouraged.

No noob with obnoxious behavior should be running off an old timer like you.

It's not really stalking or harassment, it's just a general attitude of demeaning the people that they disagree with. And quite frankly they're not noobs, it's usually someone who's been around here for two, three, or even five years. I don't like to whine to the mods, so I just try to avoid the provocation. And I'm happy with that except for the loss of what FR once was.
