Off the top of my head, I can think of a few threads in the last month or so that have gone way off the rails and degenerated into useless bickering and personal insults (not even the veiled kind!).
I can also think of a few users who are generally useless
and confrontational -- who only contribute negative noise, not signal. (We also have the
useful and confrontational kind... barely easier to tolerate ... you know who you are.)

This is sure true.
That said, Tim (Daox) and I would be more than happy if regular members (non-moderators/non-admins) are willing to speak up and offer a gentle reminder that personal insults are verboten as a condition of membership here... civility is expected.
Can't speak for Tim, but I don't read every thread. And very occasionally, by the time I do get to a thread, it has already gone down the tubes.
