Maybe it is just a feeling that on ATS these days, something is lurking around the corner, ready to pounce on its next victims. It is run down and seedy like it has become some nasty alleyway you avoid at all times day or night. Or it is like some speakeasy after-hours type bar where the bouncers kick you out because one of the regulars doesn't like how you look.
As I mentioned, I don't visit there any more, so am unaware of the current shenanigans. Is there a pattern to the types of threads getting shit-canned? And, in the case of the post that got a couple of paragraphs added on, you mentioned that the paragraphs were political in nature, but did not say what political viewpoint they were promoting - or denigrating. Those are both clues that would help in identifying the "who" and "why" of them.
