I'm sure some of the above is true, but again, I sit down with a ton of past users IRL, and the message is what I posted. I am sure it is a combination of both, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think some of these posters are simply driving people away who are too busy with life to engage in defending their position with someone who can sit here for 10 hours wikipedia'ing their way through their leftist argument.
