I'm not saying there are no nasty people there. Some have been ejected in the past. I've got to know some of them and respect their opinions. I use it as a place to find where my downvote can be of use. HW does not handle all cases, but I let them do their thing generally.
How people come across online can give a wrong impression as you will know. Initial impressions can be misleading.
But then I keep saying Hive is the wild west and you will get some wrong-uns.
