It is awful. It's impossible to try to make honest points without being rounded on by one or two people (it used to be three or four...) who are absolutely determined to score points by misrepresenting what you say.. For all my bloody flaws, it's ridiculous that I can be called a hypocrite for simply describing accurately the situation in my town and being told that I'm stupid and know nothing, etc., by someone who is scarcely capable of making a debating point, who is virtually illiterate and who posts completely inane links. But I'm not bitter (as the Murphy's ad used to say). I suppose most discussion forums are infested by people with agendas. We can be a bit too quick to react to these scumbags I suppose. I'm trying hard to not do things like calling people scumbags, but Jaysus it can be hard...
