I think a lot of people have either quit posting or left the site altogether because of the attacks, personal insults, and just plain rudeness of some people. I have seen way too many posts where someone simply asks a question or posts their experience to be beat up repeatedly by the same people.
And I'm not talking about anyone that has posted in this thread! :B
I believe there is a lot of truth to this statement. I belong to a lot of forums, some I knew going in they were "rough" and fully expect it. What I didn't expect is what I've found on sites like this one where one would think it would be full of like minded individuals who just enjoy the hobby and others in it. Some are treated like Gods, others will do a "search" for you while passive aggressively making you feel stupid for not doing it yourself, while others just want any thread closed that they think is stupid (think the "rebuild" thread). Social media brings out the best and worst of people, too bad it's bringing the worst more than the best. Anonymity is like beer muscles. Anyway, heard any good camping stories lately ? LOL
