| :Since I've came back and have been somewhat active I noticed a significant shift in the overall attitudes here. Overall, the community has gotten much younger as our Z's have depreciated in value and are more easily afforded by 16 year olds. Could this be a factor? I think that all of our parents have at one time told us "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" I think the same should apply here. I admit some members are a bit too harsh with their constructive criticism. However, this "feel good" parenting where only positive reinforcement is given has created a generation of kids that are unable to deal with criticism and the harsh realities of the real world. But sometimes people become keyboard commando's and have to put others down to make up for being picked on in high school. Whatever the reason, it would be nice if it stopped. Yes, it does get out of hand sometimes
