I wonder how we can prevent this site from becoming like a political/haters' forum?
What do you mean?
Some of the forum answers sounded like spawned from angry and partisan posts off political forum.
Insulting when the topic is just a simple request for help and information if Sam or Walmart is available for overnight parking.
And on appropriate speed, another condescending response implying that someone is driving below speed limit because they're driving a junk.
I'm new here but been camping since I was a kid and there is a reason why I still continue to do so. Nice people in nice beautiful relaxing national parks and forests.
I guess I don't see the political angle. I see jerks being jerks (and I already deleted some of their posts), but not so much politics. Seems to me like there is a pretty even distribution of jerks on both sides of the political spectrum (just my opinion).
We do our best to keep things as pleasant as can be. That's not possible 100% of the time, but we try.
If you see a post that really bugs you, click the Notify Moderator button and point it out.
And even better, the best weapon against negativity is positivity. Be cool and post nice things. That sets a tone and your positive attitude will be contagious. Do unto others...
