Forums are a funny old world and we like to assume our shared passion of Cali’s means we are all like minded and share other interests too.
Unfortunately, as is the way in life, outside of Calis (and sometimes inside them too!) opinions differ on a variety of subjects.
There is very little room in todays world it seems for middle grounds and many things are set in the extremes, with no real leeway to have open and honest discussions. Our ability to manage entrenched positions is limited with very few people prepared to move from their hilltop, whichever it is. Leading to snark, ill humour and arguments. The likely answer for the OP’s thread was “probably a bit of both” - but no-one wants to hear that. Doesnt make a “fun” conversation.
Add to that some bored, active and impish members of this forum, you end up in losing a lot in translation between what is sometimes meant as tongue in cheek humour and vs outright bad manners.
Like many others I’m here for the Cali chat and advice, with some of the “imps” being the best for that advice, which I appreciate. When it strays out of that, on either side, IMHO, it all has no place here. Go to twitter, Reddit of 4Chan for that sort of slanging match which usually ends up in a pureplay two sided troll fest With zero room for nuance. I for one appreciate the admins thankless task of having to manage that, whatever their own views, and moving those conversations to the dark zone.
