Default Lately, things are a bit hostile in the forum!

Well I couldn't help noticing that I am seeing a lot of hostility among hobbyist regarding many reasons, most noticeable being issues related to "prices".

Is it only me or has anyone else noticed that?

Is it something "seasonal"? Or just a new uprising? Sometimes, I am even scared to post in this forum now-a-days and always think like 100 times before posting any sort of price.

well if you don't want to post then don't post. Really if you are scared for someone posting here don't go on the board.

If you are referring to my thread on pricing, it was started out of curiosity, not to bash anyone's pricing. I've read every post and each point made is a good one. There's no hostility there.

I love finding good deals here as does everyone else. I haven't taken offense to anyone's post as I don't think any was intended.

Oh no no nooooooo. I am sorry if I have sent out the wrong sign

I meant about some of the bashing that has been happening recently about "high prices" and things similar to that. By no mean I referred to your post. Really sorry if my post came out wrong

Everybody has there own idea of what things are worth, some of us that have been in the hobby for a while usuall ask half of what items are worth new. Then there is the fact that everyone has there own opinion weither right or wrong but the hostility is just the way this world seems to be going.

I hear ya raied I was recently told via pm that I have no business being here cause I don't currently have a tank. Among other "nice" things. The way I look at it is if you don't feed into it people just quit. Theyre desperate for any interaction be it positive or negative. I just try to ignore it. I may banter back once or twice but then I think are they worth it? No they aren't.

Reporting such things to staff might be a good idea. Then staff can get hostile too
