Actually, it's much more civil. Because most everybody that posts regularly in the 33 races, and the number of people who race in the US is reasonably small, a good number of people in the 33 know a number of other posters in real life, or have some common acquaintances within a couple of degrees of separation.
That lack of anonymity makes people much more civil.
It's rather awkward flaming other people, or making outrageous brags that you can't back up, when you know you'll see some of these people at your next race.

2007 or 2008 was when I stopped cycling. Started up again last year.
Actually the 33 has been very helpful and have encouraged me to race. But I'm not going to be a 33er til I man up and actually race.
But sometimes there are threads where I don't know if it is more appropriate in the 41 or the 33. Like questions about training with power. I guess it's the 41 if you are not racing.

Join a USAC affiliated Cycling Club, participate in the "new rider" program and have at it.
Certified coaches, experienced teammates and a good solid program are excellent resources to take advantage of.
