+1 I don't know why you keep throwing the illegal card in the Modifications forum when 90% of the members' cars there are illegal for having one of the following: 1) HIDs, 2) aftermarket taillights sans the required side reflectors, or 3) illegal tint.
It is that or leave. If I post here and some one commits a crime based on what is said here, I can be found guilty of incitement. If instead, I remind them that HIDs/reflectors/tint are illegal in the way they choose to apply them in Lower Sestonia, then my participation here can not be used against me, legally.
The vast majority of us, including you, don't use our real names in a public forum so where's the risk?
My experience is at least 90% of the members at any given forum are just fine. The problem is a handful of people, many of which would be shunned if it was a real face-to-face meeting because of their poor people skills. That or they are emboldened to do things anonymously. Regardless, they have issues.
My experience, very few. One forum I belong doesn't allow ANY political or religious discussions. Those two topic are always a lighting rod for dispute. Agree.
