Not really. Before the mods finally got involved and moved this to the pasture, and did some house cleaning on out of line posts, there was a lot of unwarranted jumping on the new guy. Looks a lot different now.
Well I don't really recall it that way, but I do see that a post or two were deleted. So I can only take your word for it. From my recollection his Debbie Downer and troll comments came pretty quickly and after posts that really weren't all that bad. Maybe the posts were guilty of some cynicism and sarcasm, but that's about it. I recall the "jumping on" came after the OP's unfavorable comments within the first few pages.
