Just my opinion for what it’s worth,
Having refrained from posting for a while,till yesterday,
I couldn’t help but notice reading some of the posts on here.
There seems to be more arguments,sniping,and really some bad attitudes,
I may be wrong but it’s reminds me of the days of sports answerbank,
Maybe in the moment it seems like sniping, but it is hard to articulate over written text so often things seem harsh, but in reality they've jsut been wrote bluntly.
I would never take what an ABer said or did personally. They have no idea who I am!
Most of the hostility I am involved with brings amusement to my life.
ABers have never needed much of an excuse to bite lumps out of each other.
In recent times we have had the Scottish Referendum, the Brexit Referendum and 2 General Elections, each generating it's own amount of ill-will. The vitriol ebbs and flows according to whichever way the political tide is turning.
Actually I thought given the generally raised temperatures in the uk that AB came out pretty well....no suspensions that I could see, few posts removed, no more name calling than usual. I have seen it much worse with less cause....perhaps we are all getting old and mellow?
