So I'm confused as to who is spitting the dummy. RM or other people?

But I have noticed a disturbing tendency lately for any topic that's over 2 pages lately to degenerate into crankiness or to be shut down by a couple cranky people that can't take threads with the lightness they were intended to have. There seems to be an inability to debate or discuss something without crankiness or posturing. And that's pretty sad.
