I launch off about 5 thickshake containers a week from McDonalds
with the message Ronalds out there beware

Can't think of a better way of getting them exterminated

Tasteless unhealthy crap...I'd sooner eat bread & dripping & enjoy it

Even being positive can land you in hot water-recently I put a couple of 'positive' things up on the forums of Photography sites...I mean just talking about Photography itself...

Ouch!..did I come under attack,I was called all sorts of names,and then the WHOLE forum ganged up on me..it was lynch mob mentality!
Only 1% agreed with what I said...the rest just wanted to criticize just for the sake of it..

A fellow 'poster' mentioned about doing wedding photography-he was nearly burn't at the stake for even talking about the subject.This poor fella was turned into a nervous wreck.

Some of these other sites can become very cruel ...on subjects like,Photography for instance,if you have anything to say,DON'T!.
unless you want open war-with the negatives in control.

One persons knocks-and the Brits follow like sheep otherwise you are 'unfashionable'.Postive is a bad word.

Every forum will be different

Afterall any forum is only as good or bad as the participants & moderators

We've seen the herd mentality on BGAFD when people post offering work to models which seems to good to be true or TV producers asking for participants in Documentaries

I suppose some issues just bring out the worst in people

Then again everybody is an EXPERT on the internet eh?

On a different forum, specialising in another biz I am involved in, it is exactly the same situation. Apart from some of the daft things I tend to say from time to time (my idea of humour) when I reply seriously and point out the error of their ways, I am slated/reviled and generaly ganged up on - which of course sets me off on their snaily trails once more.
As Buttsie says, the anonymity of the internet is a magnet for freaks.
C'est la vie.
