i look at old threads like this and i just feel icky. really unpleasant people interacting in a really unpleasant way. stop trying to be right you nerds, just have a laugh.
 
As things get faster, shorter and more reactive our online personalities become increasingly cartoonised. And dissensus or twitter reinforces this type of engagement, not on quality but on quantity - were forced down a writing ratchet that just wants more writing

The reactions and all that on here definitely have an impact. Bartys tenure actually predated them, so he might like them if he comes back. It's a different place I think, the upgrade isn't the whole story but it has an effect.
