It's one thing for people to get testy in the off-topic forum, but it's another when people with valid questions are ridiculed and scared off by rude members who are constantly arguing with each other. There has been some ridiculing and testy exchanges here outside of the off-topic forum, but not nearly at the level of the other forum.
I agree with you. I do read it once in awhile, but it is a very clique-ish group. New members aren't that welcome. Reminds me of a post-grad Mean Girls.
OP, Sorry to add to the hijacking, just had to add my two pennies.
