Larwyn,

I like everyone else on this forum have been in the same situation that you are talking about. I find it to be worse on the Road Bike Forum. When I do a post and start getting bashed for something they don't agree with, I just don't bother responding and getting down to their level. Many of the people here like to antagonize and get heated threads started. I don't know why they get their kicks off that way, but that doesn't happen too often in the 50+ forum. I hope that you will give it another try before you decide to quit coming to BF and when you see something that doesn't appeal to you, shut the thread down and read another one.
