This place is getting mean

Seriously, what gives...it seems like more and more posts are so over cynical. I am not talking about the PUB in general, it seems the site overall has attracted some nasty posting.
Spare me the "stop QQing" "go cry to your mom" stuff. I know others are seeing this too.

Because it just seems to be rampant in a place that I used to consider very friendly and quite the community. Now i just see more and more members being assholes and that, in turn, causes me to be an asshole back, and i don't like that lol.
everyone, stop being assholes.

just tell on them.
the way i see it, the more you let it bother you, the more you show that it bothers you, and the more it feeds them. if you ignore it, or simply tell them to calm down, they'll realize that your not going to give them what they want.

I think it's quite the contrary. I think most of the attitudes are directed towards these members, not coming from them. It's kind of hard not to be a dick sometimes with some of the stupid shit people post.
This is why I think there should be a special clause in the rules aptly named the "Banez clause" allowing mods to ban retarded people who talk too much about stupid shit.

the pub is much different place than it was 2 years ago... You could ask a question without being judged and insulted. Everyone seemed more respectful towards you. I still love the place,and we cant blame newbs for all the problems. Its like real life... for every 20 assholes, theres one or two truly nice people

Wow life must suck around your part of the world. I sure don't meet 20 assholes to every 1 nice person. Maybe not people I'd trust with my life or something, but I'm of the opinion that most people are generally good people.

One thing, when you hang around for awhile you get to where you know which threads you'll be interested in by who started it.
For example on this one, I read the title, saw who posted it and thought "He's usually cool" and decided to read it.
The sneak peek feature saves me alot of time as well.

I don't keep a tally, but generally people are eccentric. and that is a fact. In the shroomery, some people take advantage of speaking their mind and insult other people. I still love the shroomery regardless, with all the bad responses, there are still people who actually give good advice.

Seems to me around here the responses generally are pretty reliable to be consistent to the question asked or original post. If you post a dumb story or something like "I should be a porn star" for example, you're going to be told you're an idiot.
If you ask a genuine question or talk maturely about a subject, you seem to get proper answers or mature discussion (for the most part).
I posted a story yesterday about freaking out about an apartment inspection, and I didn't get flooded with "OMG You're so dumb for leaving shit out you should have gotten caught!" I got people saying "Thank goodness it turned out okay" and "give you dog some extra love".
You get out what you put in.

I don't think its new people to blame. I mean sure, there are some new people you could blame, and I'm guilty of making some pretty shitty threads, but blaming it all on one group is just a scapegoat.
Obviously, some are to blame, but things change. Even if you kept the same people here, I'm sure there would be some shifting in the vibe of the place.

I think it's because veteran users who were very young when they joined are growing up and in doing so, have less of a tolerance for bullshit.

yeah but you also love OTD.... 
I think its just the ebb and flow of the shroomery, every so often we get flooded with crap, people without content either get bored and leave or move to otd (not to say that you kids have no content or whatever, but you know what I mean). Its also a stressful time of year for everyone, and alot of people use this place as an outlet, kids are also on winter break, so we probably do have some underage kids (ok I pretty positive that we do).
