It has only been recently that I have noticed people accusing others with seemingly random charges not connected to anything posted at all. It is like some crazy person on the street shouting at you that you stole his jacket.

It's exactly like that. And it's downright scary. I have thought lately that some posters were drunk. Or mentally ill. Or had some elder person syndrome. Alzheimer's maybe. You scratch your head and wonder what they're reading.

I just don't recall that happening in the past.

There have always been flame wars and personal attacks. But this is different.

Yes, I agree. I understand flame wars, and at least at one time it seemed that the personal stuff was in some way tied to things that at least made some sort of sense, even if it was ugly and out of place. This stuff really is kind of demented. The randomness of it all is just so weird. It makes you miss good ol' killfiles.
