<font color="blue"> where's the beef? </font>
The BEST beef is in SD; you can disagree but won't change my mind!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My experience here is a little limited for providing an answer [I too may be staring at the proverbial forest], but had the same question a while back, so I PM'ed a couple "TBN regulars" and both were gracious enough to reply; one suggesting a couple threads for reading fodder.
From my take: as mentioned before, the issues aren't trolls so much as over-zealous brand loyalty and/or poor netiquette [do I need a pocket-protector to use that word? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif]. On a quick read of the examples I was given, I [and, I assume, the casual reader] almost miss any heat; reading again knowing about previous interjections, I seen the conflict easily. When the senario happens repeadly [and especially if backed up with nasty-gram PM's] the original poster eventually get's annoyed. Especially, if they're just trying to share knowlege and if those who disagree can't find a constructive way too do it.
The long and short being that the most frequent and those provinding frequent information &/or opinions, are the ones most likely to "catch the heat"; therefor most likely to have bad experiences while the rest of us remain quite happy.
Clear as mud???!!!
Now can we gather up any remaining heat and put it under some good SD beef! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
