On another gaming forum I frequent, they have a saying: "Screenshots or it didn't happen."
I'm tempted to say something similar here: "Quotes or it didn't happen."
I've seen plenty of accusations of hostilty, yet not a single link or quote to back it up. I could come up with plenty of links and quotes of people being friendly and helpful, so if there's all this hostility out there, why can't anyone provide some hard evidence.
I'm aware that someone will probably claim this post is being hostile and that's not what I'm going for. I'm just frustrated that so many people are talking about something that I just don't see.

Please read back, Sir. I appreciate the need for evidence, but lack of evidence does not mean there's no issue. I anticipated this issue a couple pages back.

It's nothing I can put a finger on and say "Here's the hostility! Here's what we're talking about! Everyone look at this!" but I've felt it. I've seen little or no outright bashing of critics on the forums, but I have noticed that many criticisms are summarily ignored, yielding contempt and a growing split. Maybe that's why you haven't noticed it.

Don't you think it could simply be that reasonable people will easily react and add comments to one opinion they agree with, while only read without answering to someone whose opinion they do not agree with.
They of course the result is a few post with negative opinion and few answers and more enthusiastic posts with many emotional answers.
It does not necessarily means contempt and ignoring.

Not being a huge forum-goer, I'm kinda naive as to the "typical" climate. I now can't decide one way or the other as to the climate of this forum because I have nothing to compare it to =/
Jury's still out for me =D
In the meantime I'll keep my chin up
