I find this forum consistently less irritating than the old forum where the endless revolving debates about the same topics (for example, the definition of "fluency") year after year drove me spare. I don't post as much as I used to and that's mainly because I feel a bit like I've said everything once already.
I find the people here generally more polite and less dogmatic - there were a number who quite rightly got banned from HTLAL and a number of valuable members who stopped posting because of the attitudes of some.
