In the GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, the spats we have are quite civilized compared to most Internet forums. I have probably been on the "Intetwebs" longer than anyone else here. I was involved in the infamous talk.origins flame wars on Usenet, back when 95% of people never even heard of the Internet and computer screens had green text on black backgrounds.
There have been ruffled feathers and disgruntled members, but you never get the downright virulent name calling that occurs most places.

Yeah, I too have recently begun to feel like an outsider here. But I still think this is one of the finest groups of people assembled on the Internet.
