A brief anecdote concerning forum rudeness

Disclaimer: Yeah I know Rfinco in real life so you may dismiss me as defending him...

The only forum I spent NEARLY as much time on as I do this one is http://www.imprezawrxsti.com. Before I got more into audio I was all about my WRX, and was on the waiting list to get the souped-up WRX STi as soon as it hit the streets. So, this forum is a bunch of people ranging in ages from 15 to 60, a bunch of testosterone filled males, many of them with a street-racer mentality, etc. You can imagine the arguments that erupted when people would post things like "Is STi faster than M3?" etc.

However, despite having possibly the worst demographic as far as internet users (and despite it being a dedicated Subaru forum after all), the forum was very civil, and no one ever said "Oh look he's driving a Civic so his opinion is worthless" In fact the unspoken rule was if it goes fast, it was respected. (Even though some people prefer 1/4 mile time to zero-60 time, some will argue torque is better than horsepower, etc) I hope the correlation makes sense.
