I think the boards great and the fans in person are great. If you don't like some people on this board, there is an ignore function.
Been coming here for many years and it has been chippy lately though.
But the members of this board are awesome. I attended a TBD cookout in maybe 2002 or 2003. Everyone I met was very pleasant, I think you are letting a few people give you a bad image of this board cherrybone.
