Is it just me or does there seem to be a great increase in the number and attitude of antagonistic people on here lately?
I am sure if I started a thread that simply said 'I have a dog'; the next person would say 'dogs are crap, you want to get an uran-utan' and then we would get six pages of 'what is the best calibre for uran-utans' and 'my FEO won't give me an open cert' for arboreal primates...boo hoo'
I have said it before but, I used to look at this site (and a couple of other stalking sites) just for a laugh because there was so much rubbish posted; I started to see that, once you cut through the BS, there were actually several very knowledgeable and experienced people on here so I joined.
I suppose I am lucky as I have the relevant experience in the field to sort the good opinions from the rubbish but I don't envy a newcomer looking on here for advice or simply out of interest?
I'm afraid that we seem to be slipping backwards pretty fast. I don't have any answers to this, I suppose that is just lifes rich tapestry but it will be a shame if this site becomes the laughing stock that some people seem to be taking towards.
