SNS - I think along with that goes people who are "offended" by experience! I used to frequent a board where folks would ask for advice or issues and I would say "this has worked for me for years" or "I had this same experience" and I would get accused of making the thread all about myself! There was a lot of god-modding going on there, as well. It seemed like every other day I was getting a nasty PM from a moderator.... I have since left that board (of my own accord) and I fit in well at a lot of other boards... I wouldn't say I'm "well liked" because I can be opinionated, but I generally am not persecuted to the extent that I was there -- people listen to what I say and engage in dialogue with me about my opinions and experiences instead of immediately shutting down when I share... making it obvious the problem with that last board was NOT me - it was THEM!
