When I think about this forum, this is my first thought. It's full of snarky a-holes. I belong to other (hobby type) sports forums - and they aren't like this. As I write this, I fully expect a snarky reply.
This seems to be an issue with road cycling forums in general. I belong to a couple of car forums and it is comparatively civil over there. I don't know if it's something about road cyclists or the fact that these cycling forums have a politics subforum where things can get quite heated. I think some of that hostility spills over into the other subforums.
