>>4454947I agree with your statement to a degree, of course you have to be civil in order to get a discussion, but the type of niceness I'm talking about is the one where they just circle jerk each other and then snap the second you say something that isn't their liking.
Half of those nice threads don't lead to discussion, you just have people saying "hi!" or "happy days!" and that's that.
Go into a nice thread and talk about something serious or something that is bothering you, and I guarantee you won't get a sincere response. If you talk about something serious they'll usually just reply with something canned, which doesn't give room for more discussion.
