I'm wondering if the animosity here is normal.

It was this way before Trump

Not even remotely close to this extent. Now a huge part of that is just everyone's learning of almost zero consequences from being a keyboard cowboy but Trump has greatly sped up that natural losing of one's "inhibitions" online. When Twitter won't ban the biggest troll it empowers others to act similarly. Don't say it doesn't you'll be lying.

Ok there’s no reasoning with you. The stuff going on with C34 is about C34. Not trump. C34 has been this way online for a long time. Posters on this board have been this way a long time.

How long have you been on the internet?

How long have you been on the internet?

Long enough to still have a sick mps collection from Limewire and Napster. Remember those? 2,000+ songs downloaded totally free. C34, ISID, Cad, myself and even Will James have all been online long enough to lose our initial fear of posting whatever the **** we want basically and not having really serious consequences to deal with but my point is the entire new generations and even all the older ones that weren't internet savvy till just recently didn't go through the same process we all did. When all of us first started online we were much more polite basically than all the new online users now. Is that all Trump's fault? Of course not but it isn't zero of Trump's fault either. This is exactly why I have said for the longest time Now Trump needs to be banned from using the internet till he can act right. Which will be never.

You do realize that the internet, message boards, twitter, facebook, youtube etc were around well before Trump ran for President, right?

By that standard, 90% of internet users need to be banned

Just stop... I'm closing this because you had to turn this political.
