Methinks, thou doth protest too much.
It was just a general observation not aimed a anyone in particular. In a sense it was an "if the shoe fits" kind of thing.
My personal experience here on BF is that you get sort of an echo of the attitude you project. Yes, there are cranky abrasive people, and I even avoid certain sub-forums because they seem to attract a larger share, but overall, I don't find BF to be especially unfriendly.
But, then again, I'm from NY and maybe I'm too used to it to recognize it.
