This sure is a hostile forum.
I wouldn’t necessarily call this place “hostile.”
For sure a lot of the members like to test the resolve of newbies but ultimately when they know you’re a good egg, things calm down. Kinda like meeting your older cousin for the first time. You don’t know him, he doesn’t know you. Your older and wiser(?) cousin, once initial pleasantries have been exchanged, tests to see what kind of person you are. Are you worthy of his time and efforts? Are you gonna snitch to his or your Mom if he gets you in trouble? Etc., etc. Once you “prove” yourself, he takes you to the secret hangout, introduces you to all his friends and you two become lifelong buddies.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But you get my drift, dontcha?
