I have found this particular forum to have a higher incidence of what you described vs many others that I have been part of. With that said, there is still good content in this forum and I would not write it off completely. A couple of things to consider (my personal opinion). As for the pointless posts, I suspect it is simply people trying to get filler posts to get full member of senior member status. If you look at the post history you will likely see a trend in high quality or low quality posts for specific members. As for the toxic posts, they will happen, let them have their right to free speech and pass over their own comments like they were not even there, no need to feed the animals. And one sure fire way to bring out the animals is to start a controversial post about towing weight, ST vs LT tires, and diesel vs gas. These topics will bring out the animals in droves and will have virtually not comments by actual experts. If you want some amusing reading, about a month ago someone who is a true expert in tires started a thread about tires. It appeared to be an honest discussion about tires and of course the animals and self appointed experts came out to feed, but he handled it quite well.
