I'm still going to maintain that I'm not a big fan of import ninjas jumping on people's choice to buy the focus... I think most of the negative points can be easily found by simply browsing the forum. It can be annoying to the people just joining the board. Ask anyone who's had their for sale thread hijacked by walmart shoppers, and they'd agree it can be a bit frustrating to have someone jump so hard on the negative points.
But as someone who's been here a while, I can totally appreciate the knowledge and opinions people bring to the table. It helps keep my own exuberance under check, and I hope I make better decisions because of that.
Now as far as people getting along on here... I haven't met anyone I dislike, met a few I shake my head at occasionally, and there are a few I still really look forward to meeting.. everyone gets different things from the board, and I've found that overall, people are pretty supportive, even if a bit on the drama-queen side of melodramatic... I don't take offense in people's opinions, only in poorly conceived humour :P
I've had my run-ins with folks when I first joined the site, but I would consider them all friends now..... I'm terrible at holding grudges :P
