I understand what you are saying, Mook. Personally, this is the only site that I visit almost everyday (yes, I'm hooked) and I used to feel comfortable posting all over it. However, lately there's been quite a bit of controversy (drama) and the negativity can be discouraging if you let it be.
Unfortunately, there are people out there that are very unhappy/insecure with themselves and they'll try any way that they can to tear others down. They choose what they think is the anonymity of a username to make disrespectful comments because they probably wouldn't have the courage to say 1/3 of what they post face to face.
So, to save myself the headache, I've decided to stay out of the "arena" and just choose not to respond to people trying to start "flames". Based on the anonymity, their posts are all that I have to go by to determine their character and credibility. And if all they do is "nay say" or make negative comments, that pretty much sums it up for me - I don't have to get offended because they probably aren't who they say they are (especially if they claim to be greek) and I don't have to waste my time replying to them.
**I do think that all posters should have to register, though**
