I think most of this is just people venting and where is the best place to do that then with friends. I would say that 95% of what is on this board is positive and like the others have said if you don't like what you are reading go to the next post. No one is making you read each and every post. We are a big mixing pot here from all over the world and I personally think this is a wonderful place even though I sometimes feel like I have to watch how I say things so they don't get taken the wrong way. Overall I think this board is a great place to just be ourselves.
