As you enter into discussions you may find yourself at the end of some barbed replies because, as the reply that was hidden shows, you may enter into a subject that has a lot of history to it.

It may seem that people are ruder to you but they may be reacting to a low post count. That is because some people who come here to disrupt get terminated and then come back.

My suggestion to you is that in addition to the main forums find a group that intersects with a hobby or interest (we have dozens here) and get to know some other people. If you find some that you connect to you can send them PMs from time to time on anything you think is sensitive.
