It's sad but true. I have reputable longs expressing their opinions in PM because their posts would be attacked publicly. A good board should allow posters to express neutral/negative opinions and criticisms without personal attacks.

There are a lot of us that simply do not post on this board because of the inevitable attacks from the regulars. Too much paranoia and distrust for any newbies. Its easier to just follow the comments of the regulars that you believe offer good insight.
