Like Jane said, the behind the back shit talk is what did it for me, but I did visit again. On those visits I found arfcom had changed. I used to feel like I fit in here with paranoid gun nuts, but it seems like there's been a trend towards normalcy in the arfcom populace. These folks don't shower with a gun under a towel next to the tub, they don't give fake names for baristas to mark on their cups because of persec. And they want everything to be light and positive. I miss the negative Nancies with a plan to kill everyone in the room. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

The tech forums have become repetitive and bland, with SMEs more scarce than I remember and some pretending going on, too, and GD feels like the centerpiece of the site. Despite there being a good number of folks who enjoy good humor and intelligent conversation in GD, the experience is soiled by a significant number of posters steeped in immaturity, gorging themselves on manufactured drama and thinking that everything is their business. So, no, I don't post much. I hang out on the side here with some friends and a few professional contacts, and that's about it.

LOL! That is too funny, I thought I was the only one who took things to that level...glad to see I have company in this practice!
I should have used the "it's persec not paranoia" retort with a friend who was with me one time I did it and gave me the look.
