I find that I'm perusing the forums less and less lately, primarily due to the immediate sniping and poo-flinging that happens in most of the threads between a small group of "regulars".

Everyone seems to have their own little arch enemy on here, and feels it's their obligation to make some BS comment in reply to anything that they post. Most of the time it's nowhere near on topic, derails the thread, or PARF's it, but it ALWAYS leaves a bad taste to the thread.

More than anything, it's this childish disrespect for the others that follow along the threads that disappoints me.

Sure, it's primarily 20 or so members, but their presence is pervasive, and it greatly devalues the threads and the forum for me.

Who knows, maybe it's just me, but I tend to think I'm not the only one.

More often than not I find myself thinking "oh, just STFU already and leave the thread alone".
