I think two things are in effect here lately:
1. Lots of waiting + hype for the new cars + speculation based on testing + personal bias = many people having certain bias or expectations (perfectly normal) but are jumping on any sign that they are right and blowing it out of proportion.
2. Since it's the start of the season and the highest profile rally in mainstream media we get a lot of new members or inactive members waking up and posting some superficial stuff due to excitement or lack of information.
The combination of these two things leads to a lot of "noise" in the forum. In a way it's good because it means people are excited and interested but the downside as you say, is that it drowns out the deeper analysis or conversations. It was most obvious in the Monte thread where almost at each stage drivers were going from hero to zero and back again.
You're right. I personally don't care much of someone's opinion of some driver to the point where are personal insults. We should keep the good language in discussions.

But this is the DNA of rallying. The Manufacturer provided the car and the tuners ran it. Without the Manufacturer (homologated) car there was no car.
WRC and all rallying would have to change...
