[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3348547, member: 4134"] It's not just you. Wherever people can meet and talk to each other without bein physically near the one they're talking to, a certain hostile tone is inevitable. After all, the guy can't hit you in the face if you're really obnoxious, so people get "online balls". The problem won't be solved until personal teleport-over-ip is perfected and you can beam over for a quick shouting match (in sign language) ;) However, as online forums go, ENWorld is virtually without equal in terms of friendly environment. Sure, we have our special cases, like every forum, but they're not quite as obnoxious as those elsewhere, and they are not nearly as numerous. On the other hand, you can usually find several people with good suggestions, several with great insights into the problem, some people with experience with that exact same situation, and a couple of jokers to lighten the mood. If you want to see it bad, go to the official Wizards of the Coast Message Boards and bring up a controversial topic of your choice. You'll see the flames anywhere on the northern hemisphere! I posted there for quite some time until recently, when I couldn't stand it any more. It often made me angry, and had the uncanny ability to bring out the worst of me. Plus, they have a high density of People Who Don't Bother About Spelling (I'm not talking about those for whom English is not a native language and therefore make errors. I'm talking about those who just don't give a damn, or intentionally spell things wrong to look cute) Where was I? Why do I hold my flaming sword again? *quenches the flames and puts sword away* That's better. What I wanted to say: If you want to discuss something, here's the place. I think that if the negative answers really outweigh the positive (or at least useful) ones, you must have brought up something really bad, like "Your favourite recipy for babies". [/QUOTE]
