mmayr,
It's all a matter of frame of reference. I have a friend who grew up in Brooklyn and this type of thing would not phase him one bit. But many of us don't encounter those types of "disgusting morons" in our everyday life and certainly don't expect that when we first come onto the the stock boards. Although I would agree with you that in order to survive boards like RB, you have to learn to not take things personally... to understand someone is just getting their jollies trying to make you angry. But, IMO, it's not sentimental to wish that people had more built in character, intergrity and civility and that these places couldn't all be more like IHub. For instance, I am trying to get my kids interested in investing... but there is no way I would allow them on these boards to be exposed to the kind of things you see here... and that's just a shame.
Take care,
Sara
