I have been on the forums longer then you and I'll bet I am a lot older then you, and I think in the past year or so the forums have really calmed down.
A few years ago I left here because almost every question I asked was met with a sarcastic response, but that seems to have changed
The " around the campfire" one here is as bad as ever with the moderator changing anything that doesn't suit him unless you are one of his pets.
I have a good friend who won't go on it because almost all his posts were deleted by the moderator because he disagreed with one of the mods pets posts
I would stay on and don't worry about others
Also check out "The RV forum" the moderators are excellent and most of the posters are good people
