This is a strange (but helpful) newsgroup

I have been following this newsgroup for several months now and find many helpful answers to questions. One thing I have noticed: On items I read, most will go to about 5 - 10 postings of helpful comments and then they just deteriorate into name calling (sometimes very vicious name calling). At that point I just stop following the post because it usually just gets worse. It seems that this happens much more frequently on this newsgroup than any other newsgroup that I follow.

I wouldn'tr have thought that a photography group would have so many angry(?) people.
