"One can hardly make a comment here any more and not have it mocked with some dumb emoji or image or video put-down."
That has not been my overall experience here. Mostly I've experienced good conversation, some banter, and great suggestions and advice. I've seen people rally behind each other, our families, and our sports teams.
There has been some negative things but we're all imperfect humans. We can all improve, but CB has and continues to be a net positive.
