I can’t help but feel that the whole BCI member club thing with it’s yearly fee is creating a wide disparity among readers.
I’ve seen a couple of times where someone asked the source or context of a joke, and the response were basically “lol BCI members only”.
It’s indirectly creating a almost circlejerk-like behavior, and thus creating unneeded hostility and bad atmosphere.

Also Suitcase should REALLY get some sensitivity training, since his general attitude at times can be compared to brushing your hair with a glowing red-hot cheese grater.
And as one can guess, that further fosters the negative emotions that’s been increasing ESPECIALLY as of lately.
Seems almost like he’s stuck up on a high horse and incapable of “sensing” other people’s stance on things and subjects.

Things are honestly about to get out of hand, and banning doesn’t solve the problem apparently.
Instead it adds fuel to the next flame-storm, so a alternative approach seems to be needed.

I wish I had something positive to say, but those things seems to cause so much unneeded trouble I can’t help but feel profoundly irritated by it, and it’s only getting worse and worse.
