My God! What has happened to this site?!

[Schlomo78]

Not meaning to be rude but I come on here either a lot or occasionally, personal circumstances dictating whether I have the time etc. I used to come on her a couple of years ago, mostly on the family page telling my personal situation and receiving pretty much advice and support - other's points of view helping me in my own response to things that were serious in my life. Over the months/years i have logged on and rarely posted, (but when I have) valuing the people that took time to answer me and given me , for the most, kind words and encouragement in one form or another.
Recently, the last few months, I have read posts that have done nothing but criticise those who have posted and villified them, I have no idea what the heck is going on in the chatterbank but all I see is that this is seeming to me to become like all the other crappy chatsites and not being what made it so great. I am not judging anyone, I am just saying what I see after a while being away. does anyone else think the same?
Sometimes I just don't bother posting because I think I will just be judged anyway...

Before I joined AB I couldn't even spell 'opprobrium' (sic).
Now it's heaped on me every day in cartloads.

Touche (can't find the acute button).

It's OK if you stay out of all the cr@p in Chatterbank. I only look in occasionally just to remind myself how poor it really is. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Legend happened to this site and from there on in starting bringing it down. And before anyone jumps on me this is my opinion. I've observed this place for months and when he's not on everyone (everyone) has a blast and good conversations occur, he appears and everything (everything) goes t*ts up!
