You must have not been on the IHB forums... this is nothing compared to there.OCgasman said:The vitriol has to go tho. Probably keeps noobs from posting more.
I actually feel that TI is more noob friendly... other than "search baptizing", most of the members here are very accommodating to new members. At the IHB, one of my first posts was asking about what features do people like in a home and I got called an elitist among other things... and one of the members piling on was a mod (another mod contacted me and apologized for that).
Still wondering why I stuck around but like I said... I'm hard headed.
As for all the other things you said, it is nitpicky... but those are things that are important to quite a few people and to diminish it could also be considered "vitriol". I understand you have your opinions (that Asian comment was funny) but that's what makes TI more open, people can talk about anything.
It started out about housing and real estate, but it's more about living/eating/playing in Irvine, Orange County... and all of Asia.

I don't think I would have ever gone to some of those Asian eateries if not for TI members "Yelping" about them. I know more about Baker Ranch than probably the people who have actually gone to the model homes.
It's give and take, and rather than trying to dictate what is right or wrong for TI, we should just apply our own filters and read what we like and ignore the rest. Or... like some have, take our ball and go home.
