I can relate to what the OP is saying. Even if you don't really care what other people on the internet think, permeating negative attitudes can really wear a person down after a while. It's something that every online community struggles with at one time or another, and I've actually found ENWorld to be one of the better gaming-focused forums. Try visiting RPG Codex or No Mutants Allowed sometime for a truly hostile, depressingly negative environment. I love the original Fallout games, but I generally steer clear of NMA -- popping into their forums and saying that you like what you hear so far about Fallout 3 makes our edition wars look like a friendly chat over tea.
