Maybe this is the case for some people, but I think you give far to little credit to your membership. As a result, in comparison to a few years ago, I actually feel TFP, has regressed, or devolved. Your above statement reflects that.
I'm not knocking your site but my opinion is that it used to be refreshing coming here. If people got out of line, they were quickly dealt with. Now resentment lingers. The overall quality has dropped because of that one thing, and now this site is indistiguishable to the countless others. But that's just one example
It's great if people learn something here, there or anywhere. And if they evolve, good for them since that shows they are open to change. But to me it doesn't present any challenges and without that, evolution goes beyond static to non-existent.
