Obviously it's not perfect, but I think issues like this are pretty minor when compared to other forums.

Frankly I haven't noticed any hostility change. It seems like the same to me. My biggest complaint is when discussions start to get serious people wuss out. Instead of responding to people they cherry pick posts and treat the thread like a dumping ground of information for their side. It completely stifles debate.
Definitely. Ever looked at a CBC or an ESPN message board? How about even Youtube comments?

You'd think 'fag' was the only word ever invented.
