If you want a sense of perspective, have a quick gander at @coxhoedave or @foggy threads and marvel at how these two young lads have managed to take on some god awful situations with strength and dignity. If you feel a clique is building in a thread and it gets you riled, close the thread. It's really all in your own control.
I like the board, warts and all.
It's little posts like this one from foggy that make me think I can't just pull the plug on the place. There is so much good stuff here if you look for it.
