If you have ever read readers' comments after articles in, say, the NYT, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, NPR, you would be astounded at the level of rudeness and flaming that takes place. And these are top-class publications. A lot of other sites (reddit, for instance) have the same nasty flavor. I believe the anonymity brings out the worst in the posters on the above places, and perhaps a bit of that happens on TOTV too.
But TOTV is very mild compared to any other forum I've visited. Just ignore the crabbies and enjoy the rest.
