Its the idea this has been a rough board that's kind of boggling to me, and the idea that as such its likely to discourage people. Dear gods, if they think this is a rough board, their heads would explode if they ever visited therpgsite.com.
I'm not saying that everyone couldn't potentially be a little nicer sometimes, but to hold up the average reaction on here as excessive or particularly rude just seems to only make sense in the context of people who are new to the Web.

Actually, I agree with Triff in that the Sorcery wars threadjack got a lot more heated that our sparring. Out conflict ended up with our finding a sort of common ground.
And, typically, the worse/rudest posts were not from the critics but reactionary counter attacks from the faithful.
Not from Jason, mind you, but from supporters who leaped in to ridicule people for daring to question something in the first place.
