I'm a non-Clemson "interloper" myself, and while I share your general outlook, politically, and find it tiresome battling the MAGAt trolls on this board (so reinforcements are welcome, in some respects) ... there has been a definite "locust" vibe to it all, so far.
I mean, typically a "new guy" comes in, tries to feel out the landscape, introduces himself slowly and then eases into integrating into the board fabric.
Instead, this has been more of a situation where you invite one guy to the party, he rings the doorbell, and he says "I hope you don't mind, I brought some friends," and a hundred of his biker outlaw friends come crashing through and take over everything, eating all the food, drinking all the beer, hitting on the women, destroying mom's fine china ... like an 80's style teen movie.
It doesn't help that the narrative is that you guys come from drama and a recently destroyed board ... and that, in all likelihood, whatever problems were caused there are likely to pop their heads up here. If you go to a hotel, and it's overrun with bed bugs, and you all run out screaming to a neighboring hotel ... chances are, some bed bugs hitched a ride and are now going to take over that hotel, too.
