I would guess the reference to bashing gives greater insight into the lack of activity by some. Safer to "lurk". I've even seen posts where people have commented that they decided to stay up late so they could laugh at someone getting bashed. So between the bashers and those that keep it going I can see where some people just leave or lurk and don't post. I've seen some really, really sad, pitiful responses to innocent questions. Such a shame and the irony in it some of the responses that were from the "all knowing" were wrong.
If people would just answer the poster's question(s) without a flip little judgmental add-on (that generally has nothing to do with the op's question) things would probably get better. I also see a lot of people that express 'appall' at some of the responses yet go no further, such as telling the person to back off.
But it also makes sense the season would dictate a slow down. I know I haven't been on much for the last couple weeks, new pups, work, life has kept me hopping.
