This was a great paragraph. Discord is an echo chamber and whenever someone expresses a viewpoint that is against what the level 40+ members' narrative is, they all arc up in unison, lacking the ability to intelligently converse with someone questioning their rusted on views.

CF Discord is great for bringing the CF community together but it is a real shame a handful of regulars make it so toxic. I can only handle it in small doses these days - I've got better things to do than argue with some idiots.

Every time I pass through Tabershaw's Keep I swing by the cesspool and I think of Discord.
