Most threads are full of commenters attacking whatever for unrelated things.

Please don't insinuate astroturfing without evidence; this is in the site guidelines because it's so common, off-topic, and undermining of community.

I didn't claim astroturfing and frankly I don't think that is quite what is occurring. And FWIW, it seems like the general tone of the comments has changed substantially since I posted.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I believe you. It's just that vague references like "strikes me as odd" usually amount to that when it comes to seeming patterns of comments in threads.
