I haven't been here in a month but coming back I was really shocked at what happening. It looks like it's getting out of hand. I hope it gets sorted as this is a site with potential.

Let me set the record. If you're talking about news comments, then yeah flaming goes on there only to reveal the occasional gem cache of good writing and debate.

As for the forums, well you find a Turd Blossom once in a while, but the general picture is just a turd. People in the forums care less about other people than they do about making the next great flaming debate and insult to someone else. Yeah a lot of it is fratboy joking, but to a relatively new member, it's all hell. You'll get used to it and find you'll be making comments in jest.

As for now if you have any problems PM Catastrophe, RUJoshin or Dukester101.

Sure somtimes people can get a bit rash, but its usually when they are really trying to get their point across in a debate, not as a personal attack for ****s and giggles. Also, like was mention above, some peole do come by every now and then to be a **** disturber, but they never last long around here, its usually a hit and run. The pople you will see on the fourms the most are great people.....even Cowgirl

In all my time here, I've never known it to be smooth sailing.


Actually I think there was a nice month where the numbers of fanatics on each side were equal, in effect, cancelling each other out.


However we have gone rather one sided again; as I’m sure you are well aware.

He's going to have to get used to it!

It depends on the topic.
