Good morning Mrs Trellis and welcome back.
I think it's fair to say the site has improved somewhat. (the "likes" have risen from roughly 300 to nearly 600 in recent weeks) and a lot of newcomers.
A few of the very bad posts and trolls who swore, have now been removed by the moderators who take swift action if they feel it appropriate. Abusive posts can be reported at the end of the post or thread. However, the moderators say they will not get involved in personal squabbles, so the best advice is "do not rise to the bait" (which is difficult but it helps to avoid prolonged arguments) A sense of humour is needed.
