I don't know about the worst in everyone :). Lots of people still manage to hold their temper. I've certainly gotten snippy here before.
I still come here for great commentary on complex topics, but usually resist the urge to look at comments on gotcha articles like this where I know there is probably nothing constructive to say, so the trollishness comes out.
This site appeals to the absolute worst in everyone. I find myself becoming an asshole every time I come here, and I don't like that feeling.
