Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a dramatic drop in the quality of the posts and the intelligence level of some of the posters here on the forums?

My two cents - it doesn't help any when someone (generally a newbie) asks a valid question and gets a "well, dumba**, if you'd use the search function, you'd find out we've discussed this before" reply.
Trolls are a different matter, but we seem to forget that if we don't feed the trolls, they won't stick around. The more outrage we express at their troll-like behavior, the more we feed them.Opinions my own. Standard disclaimers apply.
Everyone goes home. Safety begins with you.

It's not just you chief, I think we have a new pairof trolls. Tree your right too, but I guess after soo many threads that beat the same thing to death I kinda get a short temper. I know what you mean and we all could work with the FNG a little bit betterCourage, Being Scared to Death and Saddling Up anyways.

It is amazing that probably 80% of us know which two are the trolls....
Yet, they don't think they are.
Very telling.I am now a past chief and the views, opinions, and comments are mine and mine alone. I do not speak for any department or in any official capacity. Although, they would be smart to listen to me.

I think the main issue is that we have a lot of older and more respected members allowing themselves to get caught up in arguing with people who are here just to get a rise out of everyone. Ignore them, and they will go away.

I guess I haven't helped much with the whole decorations discussion going on right now. But on the same token, I'll be double damned if I'll stand by while a poster on here belittle's a religion. Not just Christianity, but any religion. Like I said,I apologize, Ijust felt it had to be dealt with. And yes, I know exactly the two that you guys are talking about.
