Honestly, I have noticed there has been much more tension in the forums lately.
I remember when I was a caregiver and used to work from 6 pm to 6 am and mindlessly post on forums for hours. It was never about heated debates or proving others wrong. We just had fun. I don't really know what's up with CC lately but the whole trying to defend yourself because others are being nit-picky gets old really quick. It also seems like a lot of the younger members have fallen off since I was last on here (on a regular basis) months ago. I feel like there are some users who are ganging up on others and overwhelming new users. Or maybe it has become this whole, "I'm smarter than you are and know more about the bible, so there."
And the whole,
"I'M CHRISTLIKE"
"NO, I'M MORE CHRISTLIKE"
"WELL, GOD LIKES ME MORE" thing.
Again, I'm not speaking of personal interactions, but just by checking out the forums.
It's annoying. And tiresome.
The way I feel about it is, the world is already hard enough. I have to defend myself as a Christian every day. I don't mind a healthy debate to gain a new perspective or to learn something new, but sometimes the stuff I read seems really snooty, catty, petty, and/or unneeded. The general vibe of CC seems to be getting a tad negative and combative, and out of all the Christian websites I've been on, this is the main thing I was trying to avoid, which is why I have been a member with CC for so long.
