I used to avoid coming here as 5 minutes would leave me with smoke coming out of my ears. now that's not the case.

has Dave's matured or do I just care less?

It's become very tame.

Just go to Seoul Craigslist 'rants and raves.'
That ought to do the trick!

Either....

-You've matured and the online squabbles seem irrelevant. Good for you, if so.
-The moderation got heavier and the badboyz and riff-raff went elsewhere.
-Korea is becoming easier to live in and the need to come online and vent and counter vent became less.

Likely a combination of all of the above and more.

Yeah, Dave's seems to have mellowed somewhat. I'm not sure if it's a permanent change or just the trolls have gone to another website??

I agree with this, it is a combination of the points made by lemak.

In addition to that combo, I realized something about the people I tend to disagree with on Dave's. As a newb, I thought other posters here were college graduates. After a while, I began to realize I was trying to reason with people who ranged from emotionally stunted to "full retard." Never argue with a full retard.

Funny. I can look at a site with no comments on it at all and feel the same way.

Basically, most of the more interesting people have left.

Many of them moved to the other site. People are now complaining there about how it's gone downhill. Rolling Eyes

Yeah sure a lot of them were "interesting"... Laughing

I remember when kimchipot was polluting the networld as a discussion board, a lot of "interesting" people were there too...

Well, this website should make you very angry. The historical racist mistreatment of black cats by the elitist fat white cats is something we should all condemn... Okay, okay, I am just being silly.
