why do so many discussions turn contentious?

just venting....why do so many discussion posts need to turn  contenious and nasty?  do you guys find that constructive and/or enjoyable?  I have no clue who or how this forum is moderated, but I sure would love to see a stop to that...it makes me feel like this hobby is dominated by total jerks.

Can't we play nice, share OPINIONS and OBSERVATIONS, realizing that  they often are subjective and biased.  
"if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing"?  If you wish to disagree, do it in a constructive and mature fashion, no need for "argument ad hominem"...

with all the chaff, one must waste so much time finding the wheat, figuratively speaking.  

I doubt my writing this will change anything, but, like most social media, people writing to others without facing them does not bring out the best, sadly......

Here it is seeing some can’t see it.
I believe people are just getting sick of those "shysters" that are making big money with "very dubious" cheap products aimed at buyers that can’t tell the difference (the gullible) that fester here, on tv, in the press, it’s everywhere and it’s growing bigger and bigger. (open your eyes)

Your talking about a perfect world, where the shysters wouldn’t arc up when asked for proof or were given proof that their products are just designed to make them the max profit from the least outlay from the gullible they sell to.

Self-regulation would be nice,
Won’t happen, too many here are technically inept and on the "snake oil" shyster’s payroll in one way or another.

You always get the technically informed members who feels it's their duty not to let the "snake oil, voodoo" products run unchecked on these forums, that are making a fortune for their shyster manufacturers, that never come on here to protect their products when called out!

It's one thing to stick up to get the honest truth against some of the "snake oil" products here and to warn against them, but to start just slinging s**t at each other for no reason🤦‍♂️ .

you are not our saviour.
I am trying to be yours, as you obviously believe in 10cent $200 fuses and that they can be directional in an AC main path🙏.
