The mass
exodus, or
diaspora, of
users when a
flame war gets
way out of hand. It starts with a couple of people who get flamed so bad that they abandon ship. Then other users start to notice that perfectly innocent
writeups are getting dragged into the
war. Pretty soon, even
moderate opinions are flamed to within an inch of their lives and people just get fed-up and leave.
Are we seeing a flame diaspora amongst the everythingians? I know of a couple of small-time noders who have packed it all in. And even some of the everything veterans haven't been on all that much. Have we gone too far?
