Fed Up
As far as I'm concerned there are only two places I visit regularly now. Chatterbank and Quizzes and puzzles. I look in at TV and body and soul sometimes. The News Section has been ruined by a few. Chatterbank seems dominated by ridiculously long threads of nonsense by one person.
This site has had its day. Its surely Quizzes and Puzzles that keeps it going. Has the owner and editor fled the nest?

SandyR is right - but the usual suspects can only see their own point of view. Yes, what happened in October was wrong, but this has been an ongoing war and will continue.
Killing is wrong
Sorry but this is not really worthy of debate, because there are to many flaws in what you appear to be complaining about. For starters you complain about chatter bank being of nonsense, well in case you've forgot chatterbank is surposed to be the place for nonsense chatter weather it be long or short. And for the life of me can't understand how the news section can be ruined, news is news. Like I said before if you don't like some sections then stay away from them, the same for some posters you maynot care to much for.
It strikes me that posts in the news often start off with a provocative statement, and then go downhill from there. Sometimes a thread will start off with a genuine observation or question and there may be a few posts expressing different points of view, but then the provocateurs get the scent and try to turn it all into a good scrap because that's what they enjoy.
People shouldn't need to stay away from sections because they worry about being bullied. That is not what AB is about...or shouldn't be. Staying away just reduces the variety of opinions and allows certain posters to continue their never ending domination of news...along with their pointless arguments.
Surely that's bad for the site? We need more participation not less.
