Hail Lurkette!
Your words ring true for me. There is a lot of chaff that must be separated from the wheat of this place. I have found this is true with any large group of personalities. Focus on the enjoyment you extract from this place and try to ignore the rest. People like you and your eloquence are needed for this place to thrive.
I might not add much on a personal level but I do filter my posts before I submit. I try to post only for the entertainment of others and myself. If I interpret my writing as negative I quickly exit explorer and revisit TFP at a later and more positive time of day.
If there are individuals that consistently detract from your enjoyment here I strongly suggest you put them on your ignore list. I find it very satisfying to deny my personal irritants very existence as I read. I can think of no worse punishment for the fools.
I, for one, hope you stay.
-GH
