Seems like more and more threads are dwindling to snarky remarks, and personal jabs. Has this place always been this way, and I'm just now noticing it?
I hold the highest respect for everyone here, or I wouldn't come here. It is becoming a little disheartening.
Maybe you feel this because of the nasty streetcar debates (aka the "Space Needle" BS). Columbus city limits are so huge with vastly differnt viewpoints, driving culture v. yearning for better transit, andonanon...). Then there's the outerbelt perspectives, all coming together.

Please don't mistake the whole site for a group of very specific users. "CU" is not becoming combative. You may have had some run-ins with some specific people who came off as snarky.
Anything overly harsh gets deleted, and users get warned.
This site was meant to be as open and as welcoming as possible, and there's a large group of users who go out of their way to help people with questions or who are new the site or the city.
Thanks,
Walker

maybe you should take responsibility for your actions also...many of your posts seem to seek conflict. We all have different opinions about issues, it would be great if we could discuss the issues/opinions and not the personalities. I had asked you a favor, you seem to have ignored my request, you asked me a favor and I complied. Lets try to keep the focus on the issues, and not denigrate the people who want to use CU as a resource.

well, hopefully this doesn't turn into another 40 page thread, its not worth that. I was just asking a question, in which I appear to be the minority judging by Ndcent's need to make fun of me. :P At least that is consistent from thread to thread.

I think that as any group gets larger, factions develop. It's only natural. Some people are pro-this, some are pro-that.
Also, as we meet in real life, real life stuff happens and it's not just chit-chat anymore :wink:
Plus it's warmer out, and people are more active/aggro.
It'll cycle through into something else soon enough, and new people join all the time.

I thought the kickball team was supposed to be combative against other teams?! I guess I could retract my previous statement regarding the amount of butt we're gonna kick, but I really don't want to :P
