I've been on some boards (not LOTR related) that are very vulgar and downright intollerable. It takes me a while to post on boards anymore because of that. I usually will linger, read and then decide if I want to join. With this board I was in and out for about 2 months. The thing that impressed me was the knowlege of the people here regarding Tolkien. I am NOT an expert and will probably never be so I am here to learn 99% of the time.
I've noticed some of those boards are just people who have nothing else better to do or talk about so they pick on people. Well I have better things to do than be flamed by some arrogant slacker. Conversation I can deal with even ones that disagree but there is such a thing called tact and respect. Some other boards choose not to use it. From what I've seen here they put those to use. Which is one reason why I continue to post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
