I expect, and sometimes throw, “sharp elbows” when posting. So, I really don’t mind the “contact sport” aspect of FR, but what I have seen is eruption after eruption of mindless invective, credulous repetition of questionable or absurd claims, and a complete abandonment of reason when candidates are being discussed.
Who knows what to make of it? Has Obamalini upset people to the point that they are in a nearly constant state of rage? I don’t have the answer, but I haven’t seen anything like it on FR before.
Something valuable has been lost.

It’s always been there. I just think that at a certain point the folks who aren’t in a constant state of rage simply move on. That trend is continuing and intensifying and you’re seeing who is left.
