Why are two of our very best progressive posters, William Pitt and Kentuck, leaving?

188. Yeah, there seems to be a huge grudge match between a handful of prolific posters that seem to think

it's a good idea to fling their garbage all over the main page. I've seen plenty of times where there's a huge fight between 6-7 people in one thread, then they all decide that they're not getting enough attention there, so they each create their own threads and spread their argument all over the place. Soon the front page is filled with the same threads with the same people having the same argument, where 90% of the posts are usually insulting each other.

Meta and call outs are supposedly not allowed, but we get tons of weasel "I can't believe some people actually think XYZ" posts.

Posting limits would probably help, but I doubt that's going to happen. Without them, if they handful of people (I dunno, maybe 80-90) who make 40+ posts a day decide that this is going to be ground zero for their shouting matches, there's not much the rest of us can do other than leave (or I guess we could just start actually warning on/hiding all the posts we've been letting slide, but again, doubt that's going to be happening anytime soon).
