Yep, sad to say, some of the very long term members tended to be the amongst the most verbally abusive, and disrespectful.

You and I have discussed this at other times.

The deliberate hijacking of posts, the baiting, the real petty stuff was usually done by those who should know better, and were probably on the forum ever since it's inception. A lot of the newcomers wouldn't stay for long. Can't say I blame them.

It appears to be much more civil now, and I notice a few new names in the threads, and I hope they stay around and continue to contribute to this really nice, and very interesting forum.

And yes, Al, if we were to all meet in the same room, person to person, there would be a lot less of these shenanigans.
