In all honesty, the criticism was nastier before the 2015 elections than they are today. No one in this new government has been maligned like Priya was back then. Name calling was always a part of GNI and that has continued. I once received a cuss down transcript where one person was telling the other about her leaky ***** or something like that. Lots of folks have left but that is how social media works. People go and come based on their interests and time availability. Those who left couldn't have left because of the current members but more because the current topics don't interest them as much. Why would the PPP opponents want to stick around when there is no daily cussing down of the PPP?
