Generally when males argue with each other, they can get over it quickly and become better friends after. It's a type of bonding. Females have a higher tendency to hold grudges and shy away from conflict. This is seen when the behavior of children and chimps is studied. <Obviously this doesn't apply to every single male and every single female so don't get down my fucking throat screaming about how I'm a sexist>. It would make sense then, that this hobby which is generally comprised of men, would have forums in which this behavior can be seen. It's also part and parcel of being on the internet. I don't find Pinside particularly toxic when compared to traditional social media sites (or the other forum I visit; KLOV).
