It's not permanent. People are just waking up from the CO management induced euphoria from the big DO only to realize that nothing has changed and now they are a bit hung over and cranky....

I think it's as simple as this....
The longer the board is around the more "old timers" you have. A certain percentage of those people just as our real life "old folks" will get progressively more and more bitter as time passes...lol. They then get mad at the newbies and so forth.
So the longer the board is around the more oldtimers you'll have being irritated by newbies.
I'm pretty sure that's a good chunk of the problem.

The more things change, the more things stay the same around here
There's been a few kicks to the anthill the past few days - it's gotten us all riled up!
...and speaking of kicking the antill, someone want to bump the looking young and being elite or start a new Fat Pax thread?
We're all crazy.

Can all the moderators join hands and lead us in a chorus of "Kumbaya?"
While you are at it, try giving Gordon a call and see if he will call in a participate. Maybe we can do a huge conference call????????

(exactly 25 words, if you count "OnePass" and "MasterCard" as one word each)

This seems to be a favorite reply to ANY post and I think that causes some of the friction.
