Showdown is just a magnifying glass to all of the shit that goes on over at Smogon. Bitching, bitching, bitching and bitching until someone gets their way ( which usually means something gets banned).
If you are so concerned with the "rude" treatment, then Showdown isn't for you. That's okay because it doesn't have much of an impact on your life, considering you aren't very good.
