I'm not going anywhere, mind you. But when I originally bothered starting to actually post (after quite some time of just stat-tracking and occasionally browsing a thread to see what people were saying about "___", I did so because I got the (somewhat false) impression that most posters in here were more mature and less fanboy/trollish than your average forum. In my time posting since then, I've learned the hard way that that seemed to have been incorrect. Which is too bad, because it would be nice, indeed, to have a place to go where people were totally civil and respectful in their posts, no matter where their tastes/bias lies.
Also, on a mod note, I would just say that I think a huge problem in ANY forum, is that mods are just people with their own opinions and tastes, like everyone else. The problem therein, is that while they operate under the illusion of objective moderating, that is never the case. It is always subjective, and always 100% up to a given mod how/why they interpret something a given way, and why they then warn (or as may be the case) ban without warning. I think it tends to be an issue of people having power over others, and using/abusing that power. It's just human nature. The only way you could possibly fix it, is to only choose people to be mods who ARE going to be totally unbiased and objective. But where are you going to find those people to volunteer to waste their time to patrol forums just to moderate? And there's your problem.
