Is everyone on edge?

[Zippy]

I seem to recall it being much the same around the time that we both registered but maybe that is my memory letting me down.

I blame all the refugees from tpd trying to spread peace and goodwill here in General.

You might be right. Let's lynch the tambourine-bashing barstewards.

From that time there were also posts about house prices, the impending economic doom, immigration. Nothing has really changed.

Well the bottom of the house prices has arrived (according to Buffet)
Impending economic doom has arrived.
Immigrants have also arrived.

What's next?

General seems always to have been the demotic mutant half-breed of a bearpit and a sewer.

Having tried to provide useful information to one of the recently-returned regulars tonight and received vilification and insults (both singularly ineffectual) in return, I shall carry on as I always have done. I really couldn't GAS about all the in here: I assume that those who indulge therein are simply lacking in a sufficient degree of intellect to cope with reasoned conversation.

If people are serious about wanting information, they should post in the appropriate forum (which isn't General 99% of the time) and refrain from castigating those who try to offer them said information. If they are so sensitive that a tersely-phrased response upsets them, they should seek counselling for their inadequacy issues.

All true, but as the OP says, people do seem to be on edge as well.

I blame the newbies. It used to be all fields round here, and there were so many coffee/keyboard interface moments i needed a corset to prevent my sides from splitting. it's all the newbies fault.
