I think when you look in on a forum it often appears worse than it is.
I think when you know the characters.. (like in a soap), you understand things a little better and it appears less intense.
I think you have to get to know someone through their posts and see that this is who they are, and it is not always a fight.
I completely agree. So far, a number of the active folks I've seen here are ones that I know from other corners of the net - I recognize people here from bhuz, tribe, and med-dance list. I feel like I've walked into a party where I know a lot of people - enough to feel comfortable - but there are some new faces too, enough to make it interesting.
