Politics seems to bring out the worst in people. I made a conscious decision not to go there. Keeps my BP lower and I get enough of that on the nightly news.

So all in all it's a great bunch of people. I have met several people on here and have never been disappointed by how open and friendly they are in person. Great forum, great people and nothing should change that.
Good post, 12ridehd, I totally agree. Most of my current circle of friends are people I met in 2007/2008 through TOTV. Some have departed now for Facebook, some have been banned, and some like Village 07, PTurner, GG, and Redwitch, are still interesting posters. TOTV members are indeed a great bunch of people.

I've started hanging out a lot in Political, which I always avoided. I actually love it there, some very intelligent posters, meaningful discussions, and I always learn something. I rarely post, but have always been treated with dignity. Yes, it's a little rough there and gets heated at time. But the Admins are great about keeping things sane. And now they have the red triangle feature where you can report a rude post, so I think the Forum is well policed.
