If i may too a horn or two, the misbegotten waif thread and the hive thread, though they wander *ahem* a wee bit, never have mean spirited comments that i have seen, as does the 'land of off topica' , however, i have seen what you are talking about and if they get disturbing to you , you might want to discuss the sentiment with one of the mods, quoting to the mod in a privet message. If the post is blatantly being vile, crude, rude, anti granda rule and causing a great disruption, then there is an icon to report a post, and it gets dealt with methodically.
