I haven't been on that long either and I think over 99.9% of the people get along and love pinball. (look at any thread that doesn't involve JJP or Stern games from the past five years) I've found if you look at all the nonsense and attacks it's just like the same six people that post 100 times a day (half of them of in the last several posts) who drag the level of discussion down and make the community look worse than it is. Not sure if they even realize they're trolls other than the teekee guy who obviously just says things to get a rise out of people.

Like txstargazer3 said, best to not even engage them....to paraphrase Mark Twain, they'll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. Sorry I even acknowledged them, I was just trying to say that 99.99% of pinsiders are really cool and it's a good community. I've met people on here I now consider friends in real life and have some long distance beer traders that have allowed me and friends to try beers from across the country that you'd never see out here which is pretty awesome. Lots of good things about this site, but it's easy to get caught up in the negative. (which is why I'm abandoning this thread and getting ready to see my chargers get destroyed!)
