When I first joined the board, I was pretty enthusiastic and posting left and right about a variety of topics. Unfortunately, the overall tone of the board has become more toxic as the years go on, mainly because of trolling and/or people derailing the discussions in threads to bring up their own personal obsessions over and over and over again.
I feel exctly the same.
It got to the point where the toxicity of the board started to negatively impact my enjoyment of the music (silly, I know).
Silly? I don't think so. That's what happened to me when NPP came out and the board exploded with insults and hateful comments. Though none of them were directly adressed to me (at least none that I saw), the hate against people who were, like me, disappointed by the album affected me severely. How can I enjoy music which is loved by people who are insulting assholes? I had to take time off the board too.
No Pier Pressure is so bad it makes Pet Sounds stink.
