So how much worse have arguements gotten on Enworld?

It's interesting; some people are what I call "prickly" posters, and just attract more arguments or worsen ones around them. It has a lot to do with how they phrase things in posts. One of my really good buddies is like this -- totally relaxed in person, but he comes off as very brusque and confrontative here even when he isn't trying to be.

I agree with PC that there are "prickly" posters. I also believe that there are a few posters who use a tactic of being deliberately obtuse to frustrate others. In fact there are a number of threads going on right now that I believe have this happening.

Overall I have found the boards to be particularly quarrelsome and that posters who I used to enjoy reading have taken up posting styles that I find . . . down right rude and unhelpful in a backhanded way since late July/early August.

What do you mean by "winning" an argument?
I personally don't thinkyou have to win an argument. So there.

Seriously though, I hope that the jerks on EN World just go in my Meta Troll thread and squeeze out all their PA-baggage there :]
