I've been a member on a few forums (< 10 ? - something like that). For the most part, bullies are far and few between. Regular members generally catch on rather quickly and will either put them in their place or totally ignore them until they get the hint.
Complete radicals will usually get banned. Arguments, or verbose discussions, when opinions get heated up are normally quelled by other members "breaking the ice" (so to speak).
I haven't been a member here very long so I don't really know anyone (vice versa). My observation is that damn near everyone gets along rather well. Not a utopia, but there is a genuine respect - maturity here.
There are opinions, but what the hell, we are all human (I think) and we have opinions.
Anyway, I'm done kissing everyones ass now.
So this forum lurker is going to
