It's no different on a local board in the NE Illinois area. Nothing but fighting, name calling, politics, school bashing and player bashing. It seems like the local issues bring out the worst in people because most of the audience knows who is being talked about.
There's a board in the NE Illinois area? I didn't know that, and I live there.
I know what you mean about those things, though. I've seen that before. Not to worry TopDog. Those kinds of people wouldn't find our forum much to their liking. And if they tried the same thing here they wouldn't last very long. Our membership does a pretty darned good job of policing it and making sure any troublemakers are pointed out and dealt with swiftly!
