Sports forums for the most part can be just as bad. You may know tons about a particular team but if you post an opinion that is different from the majority you will most likely get a comment such as "Screw you noob, you dont know what you are talking about!". Most of the members here may have disagreements but you will normally see honest, well thought out opinions instead of the persistent flaming that permeates a lot of other forums.Maybe it is because the average age of the members here are over 30....I dont know for sure but most people here are pretty cool until someone tries to screw someone else over which I for one think is true about the poster in question.

I believe this because I have looked at the classified section at all the posts and mostly you never hear from these people again, they never particapate in any of the discussions or forums but only to use this site as an intermediatory Pimp to peddle and advertise their crap. Too bad they never stick around to actually read and maybe learn something so yes I can understand some of your members anger and disgust because I have felt it too.

Kingofpain89 wrote:I don't know how most people feel but when complete strangers post without introducing themselves first it isnt too much different than a complete stranger walking up to you in a store or on the street and then starts talking to you without introducing themselves first. There are unwritten rules to the way you present yourself in public and by not following those rules you run the risk of offending someone. It's not a whole lot different in cyberspace. Just my two cents anyway.
