Yes. The AA forum seems to attract more than its share of trolls, lazy people with questions, or posters who want to know how to get something for nothing. The veterans, now being skeptical of everyone with a post count in the single digits, react in predictable (and to me, understandable) fashion and no doubt some innocent newbies get their feelings hurt. Then there is an outcry from the civility proponents and the mods rush in and suspend veterans for minor infractions, because "they should know better." Then valuable veterans leave and the board becomes richer in good manners but poorer in real, valuable and accurate information. It's sad.

And I did look at my first 5 posts from 5 years ago and saw nothing that I would be embarrassed about.
