What I would ask is that more attention is paid to the group belittling of dissenting opinions. I can’t tell you how many rep messages I get telling me they stopped posting in P&R because they get ganged up on and condescended to by the same group of posters. This happens to me as well, but I’ll tend to respond to such behavior by firing back. Then it become a self feeding cycle.

If we’re serious about changing this sub forum for the better this absolutely needs to be addressed. Just my opinion of course, but I’m reasonably sure they are numerous other posters in agreement with this.

EVERY person that has posted in this forum has attacked another poster at one time or the other; however. what you assert here is what I have called the "lynch-mob mentality" and it's practiced  frequently, by those who claim to be aloof and accuse others of "toxic" posting. Hell, most of the time they're piling on by adding nothing to the discussion other than asserting their aloofness and calling folks they have a difference of opinion with "toxic"

This happened to me once when I was having a back and forth on a subject and one of the "not me's" chimed in with nothing other to add than ignore the troll. I replied by telling him to shove his insults up his backside. One of us got rep points the other got a one month suspension for being "toxic". 

Hopefully Holic's way ahead will help.
