In some ways it did indeed seem to go that way, although the undercurrent of
"anger" and related "vendettas" never completely disappeared even after that.
The various sort of "protest"-response boards to FT have been sort of useful in that regard, as over time they seem to become less "anger"-driven even as the sentiment that got them launched or kept them sort of more active (than they would otherwise be) bubbles up from time to time on those sites and even on FT.
