I'm not sure of the reason for it, but some seemed to have had a bad experience with the way they were treated here (or at the Yahoo site). I've never seen it. In fact from what I've seen there are a lot more frays on other boards than here.

I'm thinking it has to be a prejudice based on the image of str8s and so many guys here being interested in other things like motorcycles, knives and guns. As a group, I see us as diverse as any others in geographic location (maybe more) and social and political issues (which shouldn't matter anyway, unless you go off topic) and other interests. And we're at least as welcoming and friendly.

Any thoughts?
