GT's going to hell in a handbasket

Is it just me, or has General Topics gotten really nasty the last few days? Granted, it's never been the place for unbiased, level-headed debate. But I've never seen so much outright bile being spewed, so much casual bigotry and misogyny being thrown around, so much arrogant political grandstanding, as I've seen this last week. I've been visiting this site since I bought the original Silent Hunter back in 1999, and I've never seen these forums, or perhaps just that one particular sub-forum, get that nasty. I still remember the affairs with Kraut and CastleBravo and his sock-puppets, but it never got this out of hand.

Something in the water, perhaps?
