I'll add my tuppence and agree that I've noticed quite a few more "he's an idiot" comments recently. Coincidentally, I've tried to assess whether this is partly due to frustration with the quality of the original post. In some cases, I think it may be a reaction to some fairly out there opinions; in other words a kind of de facto criticism of genre rather can content.

The hammer of Thor seems to be wielded a little more. There's a lot more players now, and defenders of the castle will mow down the barbarians, to use a metaphor.

It's natural selection at work, but as any club owner can tell you, don't let the doormen / bouncers get too self important.
