And probably another 20x worse than that in 2005.
Geeto, this IS the "kinder, gentler, more mature" CR that you are currently experiencing.
My comment about getting out what you put in earlier was an invitation for you to "add" something of value. Based upon the comments of several CR members, your position seems to have been one of holier-then-thou attitude, insulting commentary, and sketchy principles. Given that, it's not surprising that your experience with CR so far has been less than stellar. If you are cool with that, then by all means, don't change a thing. If not, then make what adjustments you deem reasonable.
I don't mean for this post to serve as a personal insult to you, from me (although it is my opinion that you haven't exactly given anyone here a reason to like you to this point). This is me relaying my observations. Do with them what you will.
