i think it would mainly be because of what has happened to the holidays. they are not what they used to be. a person gets trampled on black friday at wal-mart, people file lawsuits over certain religious motifs being displayed in public, Santa is now refered to as "Holiday Figure", Christmas is now refered to as a "Non-Denomnational Winter Holiday, the reindeer's jobs were outsourced to mexico and the "enviormentally friendly delivery vehicle" is now being pulled by illegal immigrants who have ingested taco-bell's new more power burritos for propulsion, bert and ernie can't tie the not due to bible thumpers who also have forgotten the meaning of christmas.
i could probably go on for awhile but find it futile. as i have found reading alot of the threads on here. it would seem hatred and name calling reign supreme, regardless of the time of year

Every year around the holidays the forums degenerate.
Posters are angrier.
Trolling increases.
Fights break out at the drop of a hat.
People are meaner.
I wonder why?
