What is Up with all the Hostility here on the group. This never happened 8 yrs ago.

These people here on the group and I will not name any names, but they
feel like they have to attack and ridicule others? Maybe it is an ego
booster for them? Anyhow I remember 8 years ago when I first started
using this group how positive it was all the time, and now certain
people just want to bash other people. Just uncalled for and not
friendly at all. Anyhow that is probably why a lot of the fellow
collectors that I met back in the day never even post on here
anymore. They just tell me not to worry about it and to just forget
about the group. That does not work for me, because I have a vast
network of people here that will email me ?'s and love to see new info
posted on stern games. Anyhow I do not see why a couple bad apples
have to ruin it for everyone. It is like this I mean these guys must
just be itching to pick a fight. OH well. Just random thoughts from
someone who would go above and beyond for a fellow pinball collector,
because they are my friends.
