I've been here for 3 years. I don't think there's been a decline, but I think the usual value of discussion has been strongly overshadowed by the hate and vitriol that winds up in just about every discussion now. Worse, those are usually the top-rated comments. These days, I mostly avoid the comments entirely for that reason.
