Are people here too rude?

[arewethereyet]

You haven't left.  Does that mean you are really rude too?

Perhaps stirring things up is a form of rudeness.

No.  It means that I'm likely to either become rude or leave, but as yet have done neither.

Again, it's interesting that you interpret an observation about rudeness as stirring up trouble.

Your proclamations about the forum as a whole aren't really very fair.  We have some of the nicest, most empathetic, and polite people here.  But maybe they don't interact with you so you aren't aware of that.

Painting us all with the same brush is a very common behavior of at least one other poster here.  But since he ignores us all, I am not really sure why he's here or who he's talking about...oh, yeah, you are still on the acceptable list.  You should be proud.
