Every thread is the same.

This is what I've noticed too. When someone tries to start a discussion the first few posts and even pages are either:
a) the regulars saying "Way to fata" or "Fata" or something with the word fata
b) after that's done it's probably another handful of posts either mocking the OP or just making jokes and puns.
Things like this just have a negative affect on discussion. Instead of making fun of the OP just figure out what they said and provide a decent reply. Sure, there are some topics that may be dumb or some people may not have high English levels like other posters but does that make it right to mock the OP? Maybe I'm the only person who feels this way but at times when I see this happens it really discourages me from making posts or creating new topics of discussion.
Another example of people just being angry at each other can be seen in the Tech Forums. It seems as though every topic of discussion ends up being a mud throwing match between a group of posters (anti-Apple) and a poster that is pro-Apple.
