HI Shawn,
You just caught things at a strange time. Actually things are usually quite civil, and there is a lot of talent and experience to learn from. So I invite you to give it a little longer to see what the group has to offer. And if you find a posting once in a while that you don't like, well just delete it. No one will know the difference and no one will be offended.

Is there something wrong with this site? I just joined and it didn't take long to realize that there is a lot of infighting among the members - it makes me sick. Anaglyphs are fun, but I'm not sure that this group is.
