This site does have some posters that can get out of hand, but only a few and most are easily countered, punished, or simply enough put on ignore. There are some good debates on this site and some that spiral into crap. The Mods are pretty good, although some of my favorites have left. I've been on this site for over 12 years. There's passion in the debates and both good and bad posters on either side and plenty in the middle. There are also places to vent. Don't want to get banned, don't do something obviously stupid.
