Is it just me or have you been seeing a lot of Snark lately on CD? I have only been on CD for a few months and I enjoy the past time of giving my opinions and offering advice to others. I have received advice as well which has been really helpful. But in the last few weeks I've been receiving a lot of snarky remarks to my comments and some are just down right rude. Is it the holidays? Are people stressed and they need to just vent it on others. Today I almost said I'm done posting here as it's just getting ridiculous. Anyone else feel the same way or have like experiences on here?

Since when has there not been snark on CD? I've been here since 2007 and I've seen the snark all the time. We can start by counting the profiles that say "Not A Member".

I've been posting here since 2008, I believe. I was every bit as snarky, sarcastic, and caustic then as I am now.

I wouldn't ask that to change for anyone. Cynicism is not without its benefits.

Do you mean specifically on the Politics forum? Because that's probably because we all like to make fun of people who claim that Obama and Hillary are awesome while they wander around in a daze.

LOL, no all the forums. But I guess it sounds like it's common on here. I just never really noticed it before until recently. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be snarky back!

I'm not really snarky so much as plain old mean and hateful.

I'm starting a list of my favorite snarky comments like
"let me check google for you since you can't seem to do it yourself"
"Well according to the 37 other threads on this topic in the past 2 weeks the answer is ...."

I'm insufferably arrogant.
