I'm sure in the fifteen years or more than I've been reading it, its
never been in my opinion as overtly hostile, antagonistic and critical
as it has become in recent years.

I think the old saying of "the bad drives out the good" tends to apply
to newsgroups.

It's with some fear and trepidation that I bother to post to it at all,
knowing that either I'll be shot down in flames for something I got
wrong, or that the item that I originally posted about as got lost or
twisted into an entirely different subject - usually global warming and
climate change. There must be a lot of people that would like to have a
say that are put off by this antagonism.

I suspect that you're right, and it's a shame.
