I absolutely agree that there is too much underlying hostility in the community. Its the number one reason why I feel very little urge to visit this site, or to post when I'm here. I took a few months away from it because of it. I'm tired of seeing new members join this site and vanishing without a trace due to the treatment they get, whether it be from staff or members (because I've had a major problem with both). I don't really know of a work around to it unless we somehow had an equal amount of new members appear at the same time. I don't really know how to interact here anymore, as a staffer or as a member of the community. I can't imagine how a new person responds.
