Perhaps it's not cool to be kind anymore. Shame on us.

Just don't go in the Blade vs. GI threads or the Forged vs. Cast threads and you'll be fine.

Or the Hogan forum.

For the most part, this forum is a gret source of information. I too get really sick of every time someone mentions Taylormade in a thread, it turns in an all out bloodbath, with multiple slanderous comments....all the hate of a brand-- yet the same people who despise the brand are the first ones to post in a giveaway thread for TM gear-- so you know it is just an act, or they see the $$$ from what they will get selling it on eBay or Craigslist.  Mods should note this.
Other pet peeve is how some come across when it comes to any clubs that are not forged blades made in Japan.   I know they are proud of their gear, but so are the rest of us....and we shouldn't have to justify what we game

Other than those few things, the majority is good around here...and you know what they say--if you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem (you meaning me, not singling anyone out). The report button is there for a reason, and I have faith in the fact that the mods will do a sanity check on who hit it (ie was the post really that bad, or was the reporter just having a bad day) and take appropriate action (removing post, or telling the person who hit it that the post was fine)

Slightly off topic, but I am so ready for the weather to break and get back out there and golf!

i have experienced and seen a little hate on this site so i do know what you mean, but on the flip side i have a story;

purchased a set of x100 shafts and dg spinner shafts with the intent of building my first set, i live in Australia so postage can get a little high. a set of 690.mb came up for sale, and im left handed so its not often quality classic blades come up for sale. wasn’t sure if the guy selling the 690.mb wanted to post to Australia, so asked the guy i got the shafts of if he could send them with the shafts. he was fine with it, so i sent them to him. he went out and got a bigger box to fit all the clubs in it, charged me a VERY good postage rate and has all-round helped me out a lot. he had absolutely no reason to help me out what so ever, just did it because he was a nice guy.

so in amongst all the trolls and the know it all wankers, I’m sure the vast majority are great guys that would help you out for no reason. that’s been my experience

This forum has a great feature, just like most other forums do.  It's called blocking.  The second somebody is nasty or combative, I just block them.  That way I don't have to read their sarcasm and nastiness in threads where I have an interest.
