You can't really tell if HN is getting angrier or not, because you're just going off of your selective memory. All humans store and retrieve memories according to specific biases. This leads people to think that the past was better and that we're worse off now than we were before. Only by careful analysis do we find out that actually the present is much better than it's ever been. It's more likely that the community never changed, but that you are changing. You may have become more sensitive over time, and now feel that anger more viscerally, and assume that this new feeling must be the community changing rather than yourself. I know I've gotten both softer and harder over time. I can feel my reactions getting stronger, but I also try to shut up when I feel I'm about to react strongly. I've gotten a little better at making my words more diplomatic. But I'm really just as angry as I've always been :-)
