Has karma made forums meaner?
It seems people are being more angry more openly on the forums since the end of karma. What are your thoughts?

No, they are the same old mean people that were on here before. The only difference is now they insult you to your face instead of "anonymously". Plus the insults have gotten much more creative. I actually think there's less because some folks are chicken to say to your face what they used to say in karma. Of course, no matter what, the gossips and rumor mongers are still flapping their gums because they have nothing better to do, but that'll never change.

All sugar to your face and one on one but as soon as they have an audience...
