1st post here; I've been lurking for a couple of months and absorbing some good info and advice, filtering some useless dross, a getting a good laugh from some of the forum whores. Personally, I like to get a feel for a community before lashing out.
I help moderate a couple of adult boards both of which have flaming sections (the only real rule is no flaming staff not participating in a thread). We get trolls that come in a just spew crap at forum regulars and staff. Some have an axe to grind because they were banned for various violations. Others are just college kids home on break with exceptionally high opinions of themselves. So yeah, I'd say its normal.
Look for my next post in a couple of months.
