There are certainly plenty of threads where someone with a legitimate complaint is ganged up on and put down/ridiculed and told they only had themselves to blame. This often happens to a new member which makes it even more ugly.

It's like the right wing always complaining the BBC is too left wing, the left wing complaining it is a mouthpiece for government, in truth it is probably in the middle.
